I do the Breast Cancer diet (I will bump it for for newbie). I also (I'm analytical) have a menu for the week which is as follows ( I make 3-4 meals a week so that I have leftovers for one night AND when I make soup, I make a double batch and freeze the extra):
W/E 10/12/07
Sun Breakfast:
*Eggs (Organic)
Toast (Organic)
Sausage (Organic and while my son LOVES meat, I usually only have 1 and he gets 2 pieces)
*Creamy Tuna Casserole

ALSO, the "Elegant Salmon Bake" is a favorite...MANY of their recipes are good

* Impossibly Easy Spinach-Parmesan Pie (My mother turned me on to ALL the "Impossible pies" they are SO quick and easy...BUT, I make my own Bisquick so as to keep everything as fresh as possible and to cut down on the preservatives. Also, MOST of my meat, bread and produce I by from farmers at the farmers market so that it is fresh and organic as well as I only occasionally use "frozen" or "packaged" food as I have a HUGE concern for processed/packaged food.

I always make a fish meal, vegetarian meal and beef/pork/liver (my mom is slightly anemic so we do liver and onions once every few weeks AND so that we each get our "favorite" meals once in a while and less complaining, we take turns on the beef/pork/liver meals) each week AND one desert (I made carmel-apple bars a few weeks ago and left out enough for each of us a couple of pieces for the week and froze the rest)
