Menu | Week of 5.8.17

I have been seeing this Whole30 thing for a while now and want to give it a try this week. It’ll be a “light” version as I just want to dip my toes in a bit before committing to a full 15 or 30 days. I, of course, went to Pinterest to find ideas for meals and snacks.

The boys won’t really be doing it, I’ll add a carb or dairy to their meals as usual. James will go along with it except for his cereal needs. I am not sure I can completely give up my cheese either….

Sunday | Leftovers/Eggs (we are pretty low key with meals on the weekends)

Monday | Whole Roasted Chicken in the Instant Pot  
Will roast some veggies for a side and maybe try some cauliflower rice. 
– I can use the leftover chicken the rest of the week as well for lunches.

Tuesday | Jalapeno Turkey Burger with Sweet Potato Fries and Guacamole

Wednesday | Salmon, Avocado, Kale and Sweet Potato Salad

Thursday | Do something creative with leftover chicken…. 🙂

Friday | Date Night!

Breakfast Ideas | Hard Boiled Egg, Avocado, Grapefruit, Tomato

Menu | Week of 09.30.2013 and Pumpkins!

Monday | I love making Mondays fish days. There is something about eating the fish the same day you buy it. If it sits in the fridge a day or two, I am so not interested in eating it still. I also like to keep Mondays easy after going to the grocery store and running errands – my usual Monday routine. Salmon with veggies.

Tuesday | Easy Roasted Lemon Chicken with tomatoes and potatoes – I’ll do a half recipe of this and use the thighs I have in the freezer.

Wednesday | This looks really delicious and I like having a vegetarian meal at least once a week. I hope the boys like it too! Pesto Gnocchi. I’ll make this easier and buy ready made gnocchi and pesto.

Thursday | Fat Almond Pancake and eggs

Friday | Turkey Meatballs with Polenta

Saturday | Sweet Berry Farms – Pick your own sunflowers and zinnias! Explore the maze, make a scarecrow, take a hay ride. Lunch will be eaten out, maybe at Bluebonnet Cafe so I’ll keep dinner easy. Maybe a frozen pizza or chicken salad.

Sunday | Crockpot Zucchini Lasagna – easy to throw together before or after church!

And because October 1 is tomorrow….a few fall photos from 2008. 

Menu | Week of 08.26.2013
