Things are in full swing for my crazy 6 weeks of class! Just want you to know the reason for me not posting as often right now... the goal is survival for 4 more weeks and then I can breathe again hopefully!
Working out was completely nonexistent last week which is unlike me and that made me feel blah, so the goal is to do something this week :)
I did the grocery shopping at the usual places this week: Trader Joe's on Friday, and Costco, Aldi, and little at Hy-Vee on Saturday. I had to shave the list down to stay close to budget. I think I did pretty well.
Also, who wants to come conquer Mt. Laundry on the living room couch?
And the menu for this week is...(drumroll)...
Breakfasts:
trying to give the kids a bit of a break from everyday eggs
berry crumble with raw milk
pumpkin muffins
scrambled eggs
coffee w/ creamer
Lunches:
gf chicken nuggets
turkey roll ups
hardboiled eggs
pickles
cottage cheese
strawberries, pineapple
carrots & homemade ranch
celery & almond butter
School snacks:
raisins and homemade organic popcorn
Dinners:
add organic salad greens w/ dressing
Sunday - steak, roasted brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes
Monday - zucchini spaghetti with meat sauce
Tuesday - lydia's sausage kale soup (no beans)
Wednesday - best chicken ever, roasted green beans
Thursday - leftovers, broccoli
Friday - baked asian style salmon, stir fry vegetables
Saturday - leftovers-filled frittata
So last week I attempted to make kale chips. I had tried once before a few years ago and did not like them (I think I burned them) and never understood everyone raving about kale. Well, I don't know if I have just become accustomed to these kinds of veggies lately, or if the roasting and olive oil and spices do the magic, but I tried to make some last week and the result was tasty. I undercooked rather than overcooked them, and so they weren't quite crunchy. My kids were not fans, but I was :) I guess I do like seasoned, roasted kale. (The prewashed, precut bag of kale from Trader Joe's salad section works perfect for this.)
PS - These easy peasy pancakes are the closest thing to classic pancakes I've had since going paleo. If you miss pancakes, you gotta try em!
Have a good week!
(I'm sharing and snooping for more recipes here.)
I think I might have found my favorite Paleo blog! You are my mental twin with weekly menus, cost conscious shopping and organization. I love your blog! I found you through Top 50 Paleo Blogs of 2012. Keep up the good work. I am new to Paleo lifestyle and trying not to drown in information overload.
ReplyDeleteYou made my day! :) Thank you for your kind words! Let me know if something particular interests you or what you'd like more of. I appreciate the feedback. I hope your paleo journey is going well! And thanks for reading and saying hi!
DeleteEverything looks amazing as always. Pinning, but do you have a Pinterest account to link to? :-)
ReplyDeleteWhere do you buy your gf chicken biggest from?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that was a auto-correct meaning nuggets... I got them at Aldi of all places. They had some specialty items at the beginning of February, one of which was gluten free chicken nuggets in the frozen foods section. I think it was just a temporary thing, but our still had them a few weeks later (probably because most people at our Aldi aren't looking for them).
