Shopping list...


Prep for 1 full week of healthy meals:

Hi all!  It can be tough thinking about healthy meal plans each week.  I thought I'd share what I'm doing right now for this weeks meals.  I just returned from the grocery store with:

2 packs ground turkey
6 steaks
"turkey quiche" and "lean green turkey"
4 fresh salmon steaks
2 fresh sole fillets
1 bag frozen goat meat chunks
organic free range eggs
Neil brothers organic no sugar salsa
fresh brussel sprouts
4 red peppers
7 avocados
bag of spinach
bundle of asparagus
huge bag fresh green beans
lettuce (1 head red leaf, 2 romaine, 1 escarole)
6 apples
4 tomatoes
1 bag broccoli slaw
1 zucchini
1 head cauliflower
1 sweet potato/yam
2 cans coconut milk (I had the spice I need, but you might need to get Indian masala mix)

I'm currently making:
* Lean green turkey
* Baked crust-less turkey quiche

Multitasking!  Green beans in the steamer and
goat masala in the slow cooker.
* Steamed green beans
* Slow cooker goat masala

I do all my cooking simultaneously - must multitask!.  I cooked the ground turkey and returned 3/4 to the large wok with chopped brussel sprouts, broccoli slaw, and zucchini with spices for the "lean green turkey" and added about 1/4 of it in a Pyrex dish with 10 eggs plus left over steamed asparagus from 2 days ago, chopped fresh spinach, red peppers and spices for the "turkey quiche" then put that in the oven for about 30 mins at 350.  I love this with the salsa for any meal of the day.

In the slow cooker - I added a can of coconut milk and mixed in the Indian masala spice.  I then added the bag of goat meat.  I have it on low and will add the large chunks of chopped cauliflower and yam later.  I have the green beans in my steamer for 30 mins.

Fish is quick and easy in the evening for dinner and I like it fresh, so I will do salmon steaks one night this week and the sole another night - either with a large salad or with asparagus or beans.
We have the steaks to BBQ too - Gary will most likely do them tonight on the BBQ so we can have some for meals during the day or we can do them fresh one night this week.

Hope this inspires you a bit!  Healthy eating is easy with a little imagination, preparation and multitasking in the kitchen :)  Make it a great week!
