February Week 2 Meal Plan

This week’s meal plan includes a lot more salads then I usually do because I’m desperate to meet my 5 lb loss goal this month and get back on track. Salad seems like a good way to do it and while my husband may go loony I’m hopeful the scale will bring encouragement next week when I weigh in!

You’ll find a recipe below for a new favorite version of Turkey Taco Filling. I found it on the WW app and I think it’s one of the best I’ve had. It’s a lovely 1 point per 1/2 cup and probably less because I am the one that added in the black beans which are zero points.

Valentine’s Day is this week and I’m hopeful the black pepper chicken and cheesecake shooters give us a nice break from the salads :) Date night is Friday so we’ll be a little crazy and live it up at some restaurant!
