Menu Plan 4/4/11

I think I'm a little more comfortable with the prep and cooking this week, so I'll go back to my regular format...  Sticking with normal stuff I know we like, just omitting the grains, legumes, sugar, and cheese and adding in more veggies.

Breakfasts:

Paleo Pancakes

Spinach Oven Omelet (haven't tried it, yet)

Scrambled or Fried Eggs

Chicken-Apple Sausages

Fruit (pineapple, strawberries, cantaloupe, apples, or bananas)

Lunches:

Chicken Vegetable Soup

Chicken, Almonds, Grapes x2
Grilled Chicken Salad x2

Taco Salad x2

Fruit & Nuts or Carrots & Guacamole on the side

Dinners:

Monday - Veggie-packed Shepherd's Pie (no starches or dairy)

Tuesday - Leftovers

Wednesday - Meatballs (going to experiment) and Roasted Vegetables

Thursday - Nitrate-free Hot Dogs and Green Beans (no buns)

Friday - Homemade Salmon Burgers and Peas (no buns)

Saturday - Chicken Stir Fry with Broccoli

Sunday - Leftovers

Salads one the side with dinner, too.  Olive oil & balsamic vinegar for dressing.

I might try to make some homemade mayo for the first time this week.  As soon as we get some more farm fresh eggs.  My husband and I both think the Costco eggs are watery and tasteless.  And homemade mayo contains raw egg, which I feel safest doing with a farm fresh one, not a factory one.

I've thought for a while that eating this way (Paleo-style) is probably good for you, but I never really wanted to do it until after I read Rob's book.  So, if you are intrigued, I'd encourage you to read the book, too, and see what you think.
