Monday Meal Planning

Here are our meals for this week:

Monday: Parmesan crusted dijon mustard chicken breast (recipe below), noodle side, broccoli
Tuesday: Tilapia, potatoes, green beans
Wednesday: Burgers, baked beans, peas
Thursday: Quesadillas, corn, black beans and rice
Friday: Steak and twice baked potatoes (from freezer), salad
Saturday: Pork loin, green beans, rice side
Sunday: Roast chicken, 'crash' potatoes (recipe found here), peas, fresh baked bread (wish me luck!!)

My husband is on a special weight loss diet where for the next week or so he will only be able to eat meats (no carbs, no veggies).  So this week I am trying to make things that he can eat, with nutritious sides for the rest of us to have.  Is there anyone else in this situation?   If you have special or restricted diets for one member of the family, how do you handle it?  What about tips for coming to terms with watching family eat 'forbidden foods?' (other than eating separately)

Easy Parmesan crusted dijon mustard chicken breast (inspired by this recipe here)

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 cup dijon mustard
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F
  2. Mix together mustard, cheese, and seasonings in small bowl
  3. Spread mixture over each chicken breast half and place in baking dish
  4. Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes
