Meal Plan (almost fully gluten free, dairy free) Nov 9-15
I cannot believe that next week is Thanksgiving! It seems like fall slips by so quickly. Last week, I tried to get out of my cooking rut. Sometimes I not only get sick of cooking but also get tired of what we eat. I bet most people who eat with any restrictions feel this way at times. It's easiest to me to recycle meal plans or recipes but that just leaves me with a lack of desire for what we eat. Just needed to vent for a minute. Here is what last week looked like for us. Sunday - We have a new burger joint on the Square called Stockyard Burgers. Their burgers were great and we really loved their fries! (confession: cheated on gluten)
Monday - Pork tenderloin (seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic powder cooked according to the package) with roasted broccoli and a side of rice. I just cooked the meat and veggies in the same pan. Easy clean up.
Tuesday - crockpot BBQ with broccoli & cauliflower and leftover rice.
Wednesday - leftover BBQ on top of baked potato + lima beans
Thursday - breakfast for dinner (scrambled eggs + frozen waffles) I also made this green smoothie which both girls LOVED. Getting Little to eat vegetables is a challenge. She did love this but it was rough on her tummy. I later found out that if you have any sort of digestion issues that consuming raw vegetables are tough on your stomach. I would love for her to continue to eat this but I think I'll have to find another sneaky way to get her to eat vegetables.
Friday - The girls and I had Trader Joe's frozen organic pizza and Scott had leftovers. I can't tell you the last time I cooked a frozen pizza so the girls were absolutely thrilled!!
Saturday - Crockpot chicken (1 lb chicken breasts covered with Progresso chicken and wild rice soup. Cook for 4 hours on high) served with rice and steamed broccoli and cauliflower and Trader Joe's pumpkin cornbread (not gluten free but it is dairy free when made with almond milk)
Let me know if you try any of these recipes!
