Menu Plan for the week of 09/30/2013

Sorry for the lack of posts last week, we have been going round and round with our Internet provider.  Our Internet goes out when ever it wants to, no rhyme, no reason.  It is quite frustrating.  We call the Internet provider, who proceeds to put us on hold for 30+ minutes to transfer us to the correct department, to be told that nothing is wrong with our service.  At one point, they didn't even want to send a guy out.  They have been out to our house 3 times.  The last guy didn't even let us know he was here, he did what he needed to do and just left- uggggg.  But what ever he did, seemed to do the trick.  It just took 3 weeks to do it. 

Hubby and I have decided we need to lose weight.  Our 2 year gym membership didn't as much as we had hoped it would.  We went 5-6 days a week for 2 years and only lost about 4 pounds- so discouraging.  We have recently come to the conclusion that it just may be the foods we are eating that are hindering our weight loss.  On our weekly trip to our huge library, we came across an interesting book and cookbook,  The Drop 10 diet.  It looks interesting, so we decided to give it a go.  What have we got to lose but hopefully unwanted weight and we get to try interesting foods.  So here we go:

Here is our menu plan for this week:

Breakfast
Glazed Blueberry Goji Scones without the glaze
Cocoa Oatmeal
Chocolate Chunk & Cherry Pancakes
Apple Parm Fritters
Mushroom Fontina Omelet
Lemon Crepe with Cherry Ricotta filling
Devil's food cherry chocolate muffins

Lunch
Sandwich, carrots and popcorn
Salad with homemade ranch dressing for me

Dinner
Truffled Mac & Cheese with broccoli
Mushroom Turkey meatballs with angel hair pasta
Crispy Popcorn Shrimp with noodles
Pesto pasta with Salmon
Edamame fried rice

Desserts

What yummy dishes do you have planned for your family this week?  I would love to hear all about them:)
