This week wasn’t as hard as last week. Apparently, I like some grains in my diet!
This week will be similar to last week. We aren’t adding anything new back in so we didn’t branch out a whole lot when we did our planning. My favorite from last week was the Banana “Oat” pancakes. They were delicious even using quinoa flour instead of the oat flour. A little hard to cook on the stove top (an electric skillet would have been a better choice if I owned one), but still surprisingly tasty. Even my super picky husband ate his fair share without complaining! I was very happy to enjoy large helpings of my favorite Carrot Apple Ginger soup and my favorite veggie burger. I even made my own homemade ketchup with just some honey for sweetener. I want to tweak it some more, but once I do I’ll share the recipe.
So here’s the plan:
Sunday
Breakfast: Strawberry “Shortcake” with coconut whipped cream
Dinner: Veggie Burger with steak fries, corn on the cob, and salad
Supper: Kettle Corn, Sardines, and Hot Cocoa (I realize that this was not a healthy meal, but don’t worry my body is telling me I didn’t eat well enough yesterday!)
Rest of the week:
Breakfasts:
Baked Sweet Potatoes with Greens
Banana “Oat” Pancakes
Cardamom Quinoa Porridge (Since we don’t have Cardamom on hand in an effort to keep our budget down we’re substituting nutmeg)
Orange Berry Smoothie
Lunch/Dinner:
Baked Salmon with Rice Pilaf & Roasted Broccoli
Roasted Veggies with Quinoa
Red Lentil Soup with Turnip and Parsley
Perfect Veggie Burgers (over greens)
Lemon Herb Sardine Salad
And of course…LEFTOVERS!
