Besides the photo above from our dating anniversary dinner this week, we do our best to make an effort to go low carb at our house during the week. Sometimes I cheat and go out for lunch but I find planning my meals really makes a difference. Here's our last weeks meals and a grocery list at the bottom in case you just want to roll with this plan the upcoming week and save time. I've linked the recipes if you click on the food.

Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Roll Ups Recipe
Cook two chicken breasts and then shred it and mix it with low fat cheddar cheese, buffalo sauce, diced onion, and a little ranch. Bake in the oven on 350 degrees until everything is warm (about twenty minutes). Prepare lettuce leaves by adding some tomato to the bottom and scoop the chicken mixture inside. Top with cheddar cheese (or cheetos like we did! ha!).
