“Swimsuit Edition” Weekly Meal Plan: Menus on Mondays Collection

Well, I’m back.  Belize was amazing, and I’ll be writing about that (hopefully) tomorrow, once I’ve gotten time to recover from vacation and gotten a chance to edit all of those photos.  We had incredible experiences, great food, and a heck-ton of booze.  Lots and lots of booze.  Because of my vacation indulgence (and because swim suit season is fast approaching), this weekly meal plan will be as close to a “diet-menu” as I plan to ever get.

Want a light supper menu for this week, too?  Cook along with me and hopefully we’ll see results together!

I’d also LOVE to see your favorite “light” recipes.  Have one to share?  Include it using the “Inlinkz” tool below.  I have a feeling our light-menu plan will continue for a few weeks, so we’ll plan on highlighting your recipes in our upcoming Menus on Mondays series.
