Menu Plan Jan 9, 2012

I wrote a little bit about the pantry principle over at my other blog WeeklyGroceryShopping.Com last week.

I am having a hard time getting back into the routine of things after the past month of flying by the seat of my pants. I have to admit it's been kind of fun! This week we have 4 nights of basketball so I'm not sure how the meals will work out.

This is my easiest meal:

1. Put a frozen roast in the oven at 250 
2. 6 hours later it's tender
3. I put it in the fridge and people can re-heat it whenever they want. When I'm really on the ball I have a salad ready to go with it ~ otherwise we eat baby carrots. Works for me! I'm loving this primal / paleo way of life.

Note: I don't think it turns out as well when using the crockpot, but I seem to have texture issues.

Menu Plan

Breakfast Menu Plan
Lunch - leftovers or whatever for me (kids eat school lunch and they typically provide lunch for my husband at work)

Dinners (we eat a primalish /paleoish diet  - limited grains/sugar):

1. KISS night (keep it simple silly - same thing every week).  Chef salads: spinach, romaine, chicken, bacon, thawed peas, cheese, green olives and hard boiled eggs .
2. Comfort Roast and  Horseradish Sauce
3. Leftover Mexican food over rice with salad.
4. Josie's Shepherd Pie serve with salad
5. Roast beef, mashed potatoes and roasted veggies
6. Popper Potatoes, with burgers and sweet potato fries
7. Hubby cooks - I always try to have meat on hand and he's great at whipping stuff up. Last week he made a mountain of Mexican food so I didn't have to cook on Monday.

Other recipes I want to try:
Qdoba's steak - SimplyRecipes , Cheesy Chowder,Italian Cream Cheese Chicken, Asian Beef
