The Lazy Chef
I have been really bad about cooking creatively lately. I can't remember the last time I did a thorough grocery shopping! I have picked up a few things here and there, but the weather has been nice, and eating has just not been very high up on my radar. It's supposed to be a rainy weekend, so I plan on coming up with a good meal plan for next week and getting my grocery shopping done at long last! I'll update you with my meal plan when I create it!

Recipe Reviews
I tried the two recipes from my new weight loss surgery cook book.
The first one I tried was the Teriyaki Turkey Burgers. The burgers were tasty, but a bit dry. The sauce that I made along with the burgers probably would have helped with the dryness, but it seemed to be a little greasy, so I skipped it. I poured a bunch on D's burger, and she loved it.
Next time, I will just make regular turkey burgers, and serve them with low fat mayo on an english muffin.
The second recipe I tried was the Beef Stroganoff. The recipe called for tomato sauce and red wine. It probably would have been good if I wasn't expecting stroganoff. It just didn't taste anything like stroganoff. The wine taste was probably less subtle than it was supposed to be.
Next time, I'm just going to modify a more traditional stroganoff recipe on my own to make it low fat, and I will let you know how that is!
I have more recipes to try, but so far, I'm not overly impressed with the first two recipes, but that could be a fluke.

Dinner Plan for the week
Sunday - Corned beef and veggies
Monday - Corned beef and veggies again!
Tuesday - Chicken, Artichoke hearts and tomatoes over whole grain pasta
Wednesday - Grilled Chicken Salad
Thursday - Pork chops with whole grain rice pilaf and green beans
Friday - Teriyaki Steak on the grill, mixed veggies on the grill
Saturday - Sushi
I have been better about having tuna as a sandwich during the week to get in more Omega 3s. I eat the whole can and mix it with pickles, celery, 1 tbsp of low fat mayo, and I eat it in a whole grain wrap.
I made New England Boiled dinner today, and we are going to Jimmy's for the same thing again tomorrow. Let's just hope I didn't overdo it with sodium!
