Menu Plan Monday 8/6

Notes from last week's menu: We were disappointed in the Italian Ricotta Tomato Pie. The ricotta & cheese part was OK, but the crust was terrible... very bland and blah... which really kind of ruined the recipe. I think it has potential if it was made on a really good, crispy crust.

The Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing turned out pretty good. By the time I got to eat, it had cooked for almost ten hours and was pretty well browned, but I think at the suggesting cooking time (6-8 hours) it would have been really good. DH and DD ate before I did, and they liked it, so I'll make it again.

I use Weight Watchers points to keep things in perspective- they are calculated below to the best of my ability. Twelve points for supper is the max I try to use, and I'm really pushing it this week!

This week:

• SUNDAY: We had my hamburgers (8pts) & tomato-mozzarella salad (4pts).

• Tomato-Mozzarella Salad, my way: Dice 1-2 large tomatoes (or cut grape tomatoes in half) and combine with a large handful of shredded mozzarella cheese. Drizzle low-fat Italian dressing over top to coat, sprinkle with approximately one tablespoon of parsley, and toss. Chill until serving time. Best served cold.

• MONDAY: new recipe: Oven-Fried Chicken Chimichangas (8pts), with our favorite sweet corn cake (4pts), and stewed tomatoes (0pts)
• TUESDAY: sausage gravy and biscuits, fried apples (And no, I'm NOT going to calculate the points on this one... I've been craving it for a while now, so to heck with points!)
• WEDNESDAY: Low-fat Italian Chicken & Veggie Packets (6.3pts) with alphabet pasta (3pts)
• THURSDAY: new recipe: Crockpot 3-packet Roast (5pts), mashed potatoes (2pts), green beans (0pts)
• FRIDAY: a pasta casserole that I froze a while back, with garlic bread & steamed broccoli
• SATURDAY: I always leave Saturdays open.
