Meals:

Meal 1: ravioli & marinara sauce with salad
this should be pretty self explanatory on the ravioli & marinara sauce. For the salad I would use about half the romaine lettuce you bought, cut up the cucumber, and tomatoes and add some sharp cheese for contrast.

Meal 2: Roasted Vegetables with white fish & rolls
Peel and cut about half the butternut squash into bite size pieces and put them in a bowl. Add some bite size pieces of carrotts and potato. (2 carrotts, 1 potato) toss with some spices, anything you want, salt & pepper and oil and spread out on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for about 35 - 40 minutes. Stir after about 20. In the meantime in a pan on the stove melt some butter until amost brown. Add some garlic and salt and pepper your fish and roll it in a little bit of flour. Place in the pan and cook for about 3 minutes. Flip the fish over and squeeze one lemon over the top. Add some zest of the lemon if you want. Sprinkle with parsley, cover and cook until cooked through (depending on the tickness maybe another 3 -5 minutes.) Serve with a roll

Meal 3: Penne with butternut squash & goat cheese
Take the other half of the butternut squash and peel it and cut it into bite size pieces. Take about half of a small onion and chop it up finely and toss with squash, oil, salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. In the meantime, cook penne according to the directions when finished drain keeping some of the cooking water. add some goat cheese and toss until coated (keep adding goat cheese if needed and if too thick thin out with the cooking water.) Add the butternut squash mixture and toss. Serve with a roll

Meal 4: Cranberry & Walnut Salad
Take the other half of the romaine lettuce. Wash, rinse and break into bite size pieces and put in a bowl. Add dried cranberries, walnuts and goat cheese. Toss with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to taste.

Meal 5: Chicken w/rice and fozen vegetables
Cook the chicken according to the directions. Meanwhile cook the rice and boil frozen vegetables and toss with butter and salt and pepper.

Have a great week everyone!
