I did not do a great job of working out this past week. I am taking this week of slackerness and turning it in to motivation for this week! I will have my first dress fitting in May and I hoping to look more toned. I am down 10 pounds and I have more unhealthy weight to lose! Brad also won his weight loss challenge at work, I'm proud of him because he has also been working hard. I need to keep it up :)
This week menu was not great. I did make some great healthy things or at least tried. We were on a tight budget this week but I think investing in our food is important.
Monday - Left overs! We had spaghetti squash and meatball left overs from last week.
Tuesday - we ate pasta with sauce. Brad did great work by picking out a sauce without high fructose corn syrup :)
Wednesday - http://food52.com/blog/9627-spicy-chickpea-and-sour-tomato-curry-with-pasta
This chickpeas dish was pretty yummy. I did not make it sour, just spicy; I left out the tamarind and added 1/2 cup of water. I served this on white rice. I'm not a huge fan of this type of sauce on noodles and the rice soaked everything in nicely. If you do like noodles, I recommend Asian style versus what looks like Italian style in the picture.

Pesto-presto chicken is Brad's favorite. This was our calorie splurge of the week. This is a great recipe to have on hand, especially if you have dinner guests. I served this up with some brussel sprouts. I sauteed them in a pan with some olive oil, lemon juice, and thyme.
Friday - Taco night! I realize Tuesdays are usually for tacos but we needed something quick. I used ground turkey, a taco seasoning mix, corn tortillas, and toppings; cilantro, tomato, avocado, and a sprinkle of cheese. I never use an entire packet of taco seasoning and I am going to work on making my own. To heat up the corn tortilla, I used my grill pan. I usually cook them in oil but the grill pan is a healthier option. You can also microwave them but I find they fall apart easier.
