Monday Menu Mix: Week 4

A new week means five new dinner menus just for you! Enjoy πŸ™‚

MONDAY | Pesto Pasta with Sundried Tomatoes
Tips From Your Dietitian: This pasta is loaded with flavorful ingredients! Opt for whole grain shells over white enriched noodles for increased fiber. The recipe has you top it off with a fried egg but feel free to leave that off. If you’re afraid to lose the protein but don’t want the extra cholesterol, simply separate out the yolk before cooking.

TUESDAY | Mahi-Mahi with Thai coconut Curry Sauce
Tips From Your Dietitian: Don’t feel like buying curry paste? No biggie, just substitute with 1 Tbsp of (salt-free) curry powder!

WEDNESDAY | Honey Lime Chicken with Parmesan Zucchini & Corn
Tips From Your Dietitian: Pull the skin off your chicken before marinating to save yourself the added fat and cholesterol.

THURSDAY | Porkchops & Balsamic Peppers
Tips From Your Dietitian: Keep the heat low if you are using thin cut pork chops and keep a close eye. You may want to flip them and/or remove from heat earlier than recommended to prevent overcooking/drying out.

FRIDAY | Butternut Squash Chili
Tips From Your Dietitian: This recipe definitely takes chili to a whole new level with the quinoa and sweet potato. Choose no salt/sodium added vegetable broth, diced tomatoes and beans to keep the sodium to a minimum.

    Awesome! Thats the point of doing this – sometimes we all need a little inspo or maybe its just that the process of hunting for healthy recipes is time consuming. This way its all in one place. πŸ™‚
