Menu Plan by reader Linda from Bellevue, WA.
I love to read, cook, eat, and spend time with my family. I’m a self taught cook. My mom did not enjoy cooking and probably hoped I would have a chef when I got older. I’m always learning how to improve my skills.
We’re a household of three adults: my husband, my dad, and me. My Dad is a diabetic so most of my meals are low carb (under 50 carbs a meal). We’re also trying to eat more whole foods. I work full-time, so I also love quick meals and my Crockpot. I also love to save money by buying in bulk.
Here’s what’s for dinner at my house this week:
Monday
- Breakfast: Hard boiled eggs, Blueberry Muffins, sliced apples
- Lunch: Ham and cheese wraps, 1/2 baked sweet potato
- Dinner: Hamburger Stroganoff served with either quinoa or quinoa pasta, steamed green beans
Tuesday
- Breakfast: Greek yogurt with Maple Cluster Granola
- Lunch: Leftover stroganoff over 1/2 baked sweet potato
- Dinner: Spicy Lemon Garlic Shrimp, Kale Salad (top with avocado slices and hemp hearts, dress with grapeseed oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and orange juice)

Muffins…granola…marmalade…a whole cup white sugar…maple syrup…I came for the falsely advertised diabetic-friendly meal plan and am sad to say I’m sorely disappointed.
This is a good meal plan for diabetics, but there are too many carbs for a weight loss plan.
