Behind at work, e-mails piling up, basement drain clogged, roof damaged from the wind, not getting to the gym, cats need to go to the vet, kid hurt her toe and needs to go to the doc, laundry needs folding and the list goes on and on. So what do? Cook all the meals for the coming week so at least I know I'll eat healthy food. A three hour investment today and I prepared all my lunches and dinners. No meal this next week should take more than 15 minutes.
I found an old Canyon Ranch Cookbook on sale at Third Place Books. Very nice pictures, great recipes and very healthy to boot. No recipe below is more than 350 calories a serving and some are as low as 80 (and yes even taste good)
For this week I have made
Curried Turkey Soup
Spanish Onion Soup
Autumn Vegetable Shepherds Pie
Sweet Potato Cakes
Sea Bass with Sweet Mushroom Sauce
Shrimp w/ Green Apple Chipotlie Salsa
The soups just need reheating. The Shepherds pie will bake for 15 min, the potato cakes just need final forming and cooking. For the fish dishes I'll pick up something fresh from The Fish Company and the sauces just need reheating.
Tonight I had the Turkey soup. The only issue: it was really good and I wanted seconds, which would cut into my lunch portion...
