Weekly meal plan for week 2

-
I can't believe it has been already 2nd week since I started following the meal plan strategy. Before I dive into the week 2 meal plan, let's go through the previous plan. I hope you have followed the plan. For me, I wasn't able to follow the 2 meals because I had a guest for dinner and I figure out on that day only. Hence I changed the menu for the dinner. And my husband had a dinner party with office colleagues so I didn't make dinner for me instead I used leftovers. The rest of the meal went as planned.




If you are not able to follow the meal plan all days don't worry. We have just started doing it and we will gradually reach there by trial and error. In my case, I try my best to follow and I was happy at least 3 days I did all meals properly. And I was able to follow the breakfast plan all day. 

Let's hop on to the week 2 meal plan. Last week cooking breakfast and lunch at the same time was quite hectic in the morning. Hence we decided to use eggs and bread more often. Boiled egg, omelet, grilled cheese sandwich, etc. are the best options for quick breakfast and make you feel full.

We experienced eating a full lunch makes us feel sleepy in the afternoon. Hence we switch to day's salad and two days full meal. We try to balance lunch & dinner. If lunch is heavier than dinner should be light and if lunch is lighter than maybe eat a proper dinner. I hope this helps us.




As I am cooking almost three items for lunch, which is time-consuming as well. We decide to move the one-pot meal strategy for dinner. It saves time and required fewer utensils. It helps you reduce the time of cooking and cleaning. I am also trying to develop recipes that can be made in either an instant pot or an oven. 

Feel free to share your meal ideas in the comment.

We all know lentils and legumes are great sources of protein and iron. One day on social media one of my friend had posted about iron deficiency. She asked others how they manage the amount of iron intake on a daily basis. Instead of taking supplements, she wanted to include iron-rich food in her daily diet. That's when I decide to share my regular Gujarati Toor Dal recipe. I am born and brought up in Gujarat one of the states in India. Traditionally in my house every day 6 things are prepared for lunch. The lunch menu is like  Roti (Indian Bread), dry vegetable sabzi , Toor Dal, Rice, Salad and Papad. The only variation you will see in the  vegetable sabzi, the rest of the dishes remains the same. Even in my house, I follow the same tradition, but I have cut off on rice and wheat so consume little less than usual. For those who are looking for an iron-rich recipe do try this Gujarati Toor Dal Recipe. Toor Dal (Split Pigeon Pea) Toor Dal is a major source of protein for
