  • Two week menu plan and grocery list

    Hi everyone, this is my 2 week menu planner that I made myself. I have borrowed a few recipes and made up a few, and some are tried and true. I have included a grocery list and will also resend this as a word file for
    anyone who wants it! Please email me directly so I can just hit the reply button to send the attachment. I did my best and if anyone sees any mistakes, please let me know, this is my own planner and I started it a week ago so I am halfway through it. I will send another one as soon as
    I am done. If any of you have any type of their own menu planner,
    please share!

    Day 1

    ORIENTAL CHICKEN WINGS

    Collared Greens

    SF Jello



    deviled eggs

    2 celery stalks with cream cheese, slice of ham wrapped around



    2 scrambled eggs with 2 Tb heavy cream and 2 Tb sharp cheddar

    4 strips bacon





    ORIENTAL CHICKEN WINGS

    40 drumettes (about 4 lbs.)(I use regular drumsticks)
    --
    Sauce:
    2 c. soy sauce
    1/2 c. white wine
    1/2 c veg. oil
    2-3 cloves garlic, crushed ( I use minced outta the jar)
    2 T. Splenda (or equivalent of other sugar substitute)
    2 tsp. ground ginger

    Mix sauce ingredients together and divide in half. Place
    drumettes
    and
    half of the sauce in a plastic bag to marinate overnight. Drain
    and
    place
    drumettes and remaining half of sauce in crock pot on low for 3
    1/2 - 4
    hours until cooked. Discard juice and serve wings.



    Collared Greens

    2 ham hocks

    stick of salted butter

    bunch of greens

    1 Tb minced garlic (i buy it by the jar, it lasts a long time!)

    2 Tb seasoning salt



    Melt butter in pot, add garlic and 1 Tb seasoned salt. sautee.
    Add ham hocks. Add water just to the height of the ham hocks.
    Simmer for 20 mins. While your hocks are simmering, clean and cut
    your greens. Add the greens, pushing them down so they are
    all 'wet'. Put lid on pot. Let them simmer until tender, usually
    45 mins or longer.





    Day 2



    2 scrambled eggs with 2 Tb heavy cream and 2 Tb sharp cheddar

    4 strips bacon



    leftover chx drumsticks



    Pork loin roast.

    Just season, put in roasting pan and cover with foil.

    green beans

    sf jello





    Day 3



    Deviled eggs and sliced ham for breakfast



    Tuna salad on lettuce leafs, rolled up



    2 Baked whole Chickens

    season, put butter under skin, place in pan, cover with foil.
    For 2, it will take approximately 3 ½ hours at 350 degrees

    Green beans





    Day 4



    sausage

    scrambled eggs with 2 Tb heavy cream and 2 TB grated cheese



    leftover chicken



    Turkey Breast

    just cook in the oven after seasoning

    broccoli with mayo (i love mayo on veggies)

    sf jello with whipped cream (whip 1 cup heavy cream to desired
    consistency, then add 1 packet splenda to sweeten)









    Day 5



    Shrimp Scampi (out of the box from Sam's Club)

    sautéed broccoli in butter and seasoned salt and a tiny bit of
    minced garlic (straight from the jar again)

    sf jello



    2 deviled eggs, that's 4 halves (mayo paprika and deli mustard to
    taste)

    2 slices black forest deli ham



    I ate more jello for breakfast this day!

    I just love it and had some homemade whipped cream left over from
    the previous night.



    Day 6



    3 pork kabobs (in the oven)(3 chunks pork, 2 slices green pepper, 1
    slice zucchini, 1 mushroom on a skewer) (had these in the freezer
    from a sale, but you can make them)

    cucumber salad



    sf jello

    2 deviled eggs



    2 sausage patties



    Cucumber Salad

    1 cucumber, deskinned, quartered and sliced

    grape tomatoes, quartered

    avocado, cubed (optional)

    1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (i prefer sharp cheddar)

    2 - 3 Tb Kraft Caesar Vinaegrette with parmesan



    Day 7



    2 scrambled eggs made my way!



    chicken salad

    sf jello



    chicken parmesan

    cucumber salad



    Chicken Parmesan

    1 boneless skinless chx thigh per person(dh doesnt like white
    meat, but you can use breasts!), there is more fat in thighs which
    you need on Atkins

    spaghetti sauce (if you only use a few Tbsp, carb count is low)

    mozzarella cheese

    parmesan cheese

    olive oil



    Put about 2 Tb olive oil in skillet. Salt and pepper. Cook your
    thighs till juice is clear. Add spaghetti sauce to skillet. Place
    cooked thigh in plate. Sprinkle parmesan on your chicken. Add 2 -
    3 Tb spaghetti sauce on top of that. Then grate mozzarella cheese
    on top of the spaghetti sauce. Sometimes I put it in the microwave
    to melt the cheese a little more!



    Chicken Salad

    1 can white chicken meat (next to canned tuna at grocery store)

    1 hard boiled egg

    green leaf lettuce

    grated cheese

    mayo to taste

    salt and pepper to taste



    Drain chicken, add all ingredients (except lettuce) in a bowl.
    Rinse 2 or 3 large individual lettuce leafs. Spoon chicken salad
    onto lettuce leaf. You can add some diced tomatoes if you want.
    Roll the lettuce up and stick a toothpick through the middle to
    retain the shape. Eat like finger food. My dh likes mustard too.



    Day 8

    Bacon and eggs



    3 deviled eggs



    Shrimp scampi

    Asparagus



    Shrimp Scampi

    1 box shrimp scampi

    ½ jar of Ragu Classic Alfredo

    1 can asparagus



    Cook shrimp scampi, add the sauce and stir together. Heat
    asparagus in microwave for @ 1 minute. Place 4 – 6 asparagus spears
    on plate. Generously ladle shrimp and sauce over asparagus.



    Day 9

    Its time to go out to dinner. Red Lobster has an all-you-can-eat-
    shrimp special right now for $14.99 per person! We eat the shrimp
    scampi, of course! Did order the shrimp pasta on one of my refills
    but just ate the sauce and shrimp and let dd3 eat the pasta!
    Instead of a potato, you can either have veggies or coleslaw (server
    claimed no suger was added but you never know!)!



    Day 10
    Scrambled eggs with heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and ham


    4 celery stalks with cream cheese on them and deli turkey slices
    rolled around

    Cooked chx thigh or breast with a side salad



    Day 14

    Poached eggs with hollandaise (recipe on Atkins website)



    4 deli turkey slices rolled with cream cheese on them



    Portobello mushroom pizza, tomato sauce, shredded cheddar and
    mozzarella cheeses, pepperoni slices. Starting with a whole
    portabello mushroom per person, spread tomato sauce on mushroom.
    Top with cheeses, pepperoni, olives, or sausage…whatever low carb
    toppings you want. Bake at 350 degrees about 15 minutes. Cut into
    4 slices and eat like a personal pan pizza.

    Rachel, I see some issues with your menu. Main one is going to be the jello nearly every day.

    Your chicken wings are questionable. I'd say skip them until after the first two weeks because of the wine (it doesn't all cook out and there are sugars that won't cook out at all)

    Even with a small amount, the spaghetti sauce is not a good idea. It has a lot of sugar in it. Marinara would be a better choice.

    The Alfredo sauce - what's in it? I'm going to bet that's not a good choice, either.

    I see that you are losing weight, and that's great. There are just a couple of things you need to watch

        >>cooking wine,>>

        As you know, wine isn't acceptable on Induction. And ... cooking wine shouldn't be allowed, ever ... if you wouldn't drink it, don't cook with it!

        Did you read the list of ingredients in the shrimp scampi out of the box? I suspect there's non-Atkins friendly items there.

        >>1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage roll>>

        There's sugar in there. You can buy sausage rolls without sugar ... that would be a better choice.

        >>Kraft Caesar vinaigrette parmesan>>

        Ingredients?

        >>laundry detergent>>

        For which meal?

        >>bananas (>>

        Not for you, I hope.

        >>2 boxes walmart brand jello at 3 for a buck>>

        For the family? Of course, they don't need an empty of nutrition food, either.

        >> 4 deli turkey slices>>

        Dextrose free?

        Is your chicken just chicken? It doesn't hurt to read the list of ingredients. Lots of chicken is injected with a dextrose (sugar) solution ... or has a high content of a sodium solution (you don't need to pay $$ for water).

        >>coleslaw (server
        claimed no suger was added but you never know!)>>

        Not likely to be true. Most commercial coleslaw (and chicken/tuna salad) is loaded with sugar.

        You might want to consider low sodium soy sauce. Or wheat free tamari.

        Is the spaghetti sauce without added sugar?

              Are you suggesting there was nothing to "criticize"?
