Monday- Non butter chicken with Broccoli and Snap peas. I was surprised how good this came out! It made for a nice low cal meal

Tuesday- Asian Turkey Meatballs with steamed broccoli and snap peas

Wednesday- Baked Cod with crispy herb crust with a side of veg. Not sure yet which one. Probably Broccoli.

Thursday- Jalapeno Popper chicken with a side salad

Friday- Honey Dijon Panko crusted salmon

Saturday- Homemade Sushi Rolls- Tuna Tataki rolls and Shimp Avocado rolls. With a side of steamed Edamame

Sunday- Porchetta. Hoping it comes out good as it's my cheat meal.
