This menu is a Dukan menu plan. DH and DS have both decided to diet using this plan loosely. I must say that I am hesitant to try again. I had such severe gastro issues last year, that I am a bit afraid to try again. It took months before I felt better. I've since regained most of my weight lost. I've decided that while I will diet, I will add more vegetables and fruit than the diet recommends. I will limit but not avoid carbs. Anyway this is the plan for this week.
Monday: Italian Chicken, Salad
Tuesday: Pizza Soup, Salad
Wednesday: Lemon Chicken, Salad, Lemon Cheesecake
Thursday: Big Game Meatballs ( http://dukanitout.com/willem-jans-big-game-meatballs/ ) , Salad

Oatmeal Scotchies
When you've committed to making whole food in your home instead of using boxes, you make a lot of dirty dishes. Yesterday I made bread, granola, and wheat bran flakes for my family. It made for a lot of dirty dishes. I can't seem to use less than every pot and pan when I cook. Today was spent re-arranging my kitchen to hopefully make it flow better.
Since it's Valentines' Day today, I thought I'd make a treat for my family. I gave them a choice of cookies and of course there was no unanimous decision, so I made Oatmeal Scotchies for my son and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies for the Husband. These are tried and true. We love these cookies. I wanted to post a picture. Alas, I wasn't quick enough. Maybe next time.
Oatmeal Scotchies
1 1/4 cup flour (I use a blend of whole wheat and unbleached all-purpose)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup butter (I've used all butter, all shortening, and 1/2 and 1/2--they were all fine)
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 cups uncooked oats
1/2 pkg. (6 ounces) butterscotch chips (Aldis' chips are great) for the husband I substituted raisins
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy--gradually add flour mixture. Stir in oats and butterscotch chips.
4. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookies. Bake 9 minutes for chewier cookies or 11 minutes for crisper cookies. Yield about 4 dozen cookies.
