Same deal with breakfast and lunch as before, if it's something special I'll make sure and include it...if not just know it's one of our favorite breakfast choices that I talked about last week! I did add in the eggs and sausage amounts that I buy on a weekly basis just FYI..
Saturday:
- Burgers: just plain ole beef sans bun. We top ours with guacamole, pico, and bacon. If we're crazy we saute some onions...I do add some of this mix (minus the sugar) in to give them some depth...
- Baby carrots with ranch
Sunday:
- Lunch at Cheesecake Factory...I chose the lunch size Luau Salad with no wontons, extra macadamia nuts, and olive oil on the side..and maybe a few bites of the hubs cheesecake..I'm not a robot, it was just starting at me!!!
- Dinner: Rotisserie chicken from Whole Foods, (it's ingredient list is this: whole chicken..it's the real deal and tasty too) peas and a salad
I mixed up my herb mix for tomorrow nights dinner and went ahead and slathered it on the pork for tomorrow, I don't like getting up any earlier to prep dinner if I don't have to!
Monday:
- Herb crusted pork tenderloin For real, this is the MOST AMAZING pork tenderloin ever...I dump all my herb mix, olive oil and salt in the mini food processor and whirl away until it's a paste and coat my meat in that...for real, it's AMAZING!! And totally worth the price of fresh herbs
- Roasted Asparagus
- Green Beans with toasted almonds and lemon pepper
Tuesday:
- Hawaiian Pulled Pork This was super tasty, I'm almost more excited about having the leftovers in a breakfast scramble..and the kids are excited about it for lunch tomorrow too! I did add a couple dashes of fish sauce and coconut aminos
- Baked Sweet Potatoes with coconut oil
- Roasted Broccoli and Cauliflower
Go ahead and check out Wednesday's dinner recipe, it requires marinating the chicken over night. I put my marinade on frozen chicken and it was thawed when ready to go in the oven
Wednesday:
- Chicken, Cauliflower, and Olive Bake Okay, this was less than amazing. I generally LOVE all things that are mediterraneanish, but this just didn't work for me. The shallots and cauliflower were under cooked (and I love me some gooey caramelized shallots out of the oven!)...I pulled it out after 50 minutes b/c I was worried about the chicken getting too dry. Thankfully my salad loving 4 year old asked for me to put her chicken and cauliflower on top of her salad so I followed suit. With a little drizzle of balsamic dressing on it I thought it was MUCH better
- Salad
Make sure to set out your chicken if you're doing the Mediterranean Chicken tomorrow night!
Thursday:
- Special Breakfast: Pumpkin Waffles with Bacon
- WE'RE GOING ON A DATE!!!! That's right, don't be jealous..but like a real one...with dinner at Home Wine Kitchen where I've heard the chef is totally down with Paleo which will make this evening even more enjoyable...then we're going to a concert at our fav venue Off Broadway..but to help out this is amazing:
- Mediterranean Grilled Chicken (pay attention though...the recipe on the site is for 2 servings...) We usually roast asparagus with this and have a salad, the grocery list has the main recipe stuff, but no sides for this meal
{Review on Home Wine Kitchen: If you live in St. Louis you need to go there. On the online reservation page I put in the "special request" section that we ate Paleo and when the waitress was going over the menu she automatically gave me what substitutes they could make for the non-Paleo sides!!! It was delish. I had a veal chop with sauteed greens and bone marrow (So YUM that I just dove in and didn't think about taking a pic until I was halfway done!) Jason had the pork neck and it was equally delish. I want to try their "No Menu Monday's" where you just tell the chef your preferences and she comes up with a 4 course meal all for $35! Apparently they book up three weeks in advance so if you're interested in it plan ahead!}
