March Week 1 Meal Plan Options

 

Chicken Teriyaki Dinner

It is a new month and a new week and time to plan some meal options for this week. 

On Sunday, March 1, I made milkrice for breakfast and I had it for breakfast (with palm jaggery), lunch (with leftover chicken curry), and dinner (with chicken curry that my daughter had made).  Daughter ate milkrice for brunch and rice with Korean stir fried chicken and kale that she had cooked for dinner.

Monday, March 2 was my daughter's birthday.  So, for brunch, I boiled mung beans as it's one of her favorite brunches; I had mine plain, by itself; she had hers with sugar.  For a celebratory birthday dinner, we ordered take out from our favoritie Japanese restaurant: the chicken teriyaki shown above for me and two types of sushi rolls and a baked seafood appetizer for daughter:

Daughter's Dinner

And for dessert, we picked up some cakes from our favorite neighborhood Armenian bakery:

Desserts

A piece of cheesecake for me (I gave the strawberry to my daughter, since it has seeds and I am not allowed to eat anything with seeds or nuts for several weeks after the oral surgery) and for daughter, a piece of tiramisu, a piece of walnut vanilla mocha cake, and a piece of raffaello cake which is a sponge cake with almonds and coconut!

We have leftovers for another meal.

On to the meal plan options for March Week 1 (3/2 - 3/8):

Brunches:  Mung beans (Monday); leftover milkrice with seeni sambol (Tuesday); leftover mung beans; leftover bagels (which I can't eat since they are the everything bagels and have seeds; daughter will have to finish them); egg salad sandwiches; tuna salad sandwiches; leftovers from dinners

Dinners:  Japanese food (Monday); leftovers from the Japanese food (Tuesday); rice with chicken curry, dhal, and potatoes or kale; stringhoppers with chicken curry, seeni sambol, dhal and/or potatoes; rice with Korean stir-fried chicken and kale (daughter will have as it's too salty for me); leftovers

Snacks/Desserts:  Cake (for daughter), last serving of jello (me), yogurt (me), chocolate pudding, ice cream, cereal, fresh fruit, homemade apple sauce (I made some over the weekend and my daughter loved it)

Those are this week's meal plan options.  Of course, there might be changes as the week progresses.

I am grateful for:

- Being able to celebrate my daughter's birthday with her
- Being able to graduate from a liquid diet
- Being able to have a varied diet
- Leftovers
- Supporting local businesses

Will you be making any meal plan options this week?
