Menu Plan Monday

So, this is gonna be a quick one 'cause I'm mending my night-owl ways; at least I hope I am.  No more nights planning 'til the wee hours; no more nights reading lovely Brit-Lit thereafter; no more nights of sweet peace, and no more deep-dark solitude.  Who's crazy idea was this??
Mine.

Monday
Breakfast: Oatmeal, Mandarin Oranges
Lunch: PB on Brown Rice Cakes, Carrot Sticks, Apples
Dinner: Honey-Glazed Chicken Quarters over Brown Rice, Green Salad

Tuesday
Breakfast: Bran Muffins & Yogurt
Lunch: Egg Drop Soup w/Veggies, Bananas
Dinner: Basil Shrimp over Lemon Orzo w/Feta; Roasted Asparagus

Okay, for anyone who has NEVER roasted asparagus, this is for you:
Wash and trim off the tough & bitter ends of the asparagus.
Pat dry.
Drizzle with olive oil.
Roast in 350* oven for 10 minutes.
Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
Serve.
Eat.
Yum.
Repeat.

Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs, Corn Tortillas, Bananas
Lunch: Cheese on Toast, Sweet Potato Oven-Fries, Oranges
Dinner: Black Bean Soup; Green Salad; Cornbread

Thursday

Saturday

Have an inspiring week, y'all!  And don't forget to stop over at I'm an Organizing Junkie for less whiney menus.  Can't help it: it's my bedtime.
Just one more drink of water...
