Menu Plan Monday logoWe’ve gotten far, far off track in our effort to eat healthier foods. I won’t tell Rockford’s tale, but I can tell you that I’ve gained 10 pounds since Pete was born.

Monday: Honey Pecan Chicken. This doesn’t meet the “better for us” requirements, but I had one last package of it in the freezer.

Tuesday: Dinner with the in-laws

Wednesday: Sesame Orange Chicken. This is a new-to-us dish from Cooking Light.

Thursday: Sweet and Sour Tofu.

Friday: Three-Pepper Beef. This is another new one from Cooking Light.
