menu plan monday: 04.02.12

Last week, I had a menu full of new recipes.

I didn’t make it through all of them – the week got crazy hectic – but all of the ones we tried were really good.

Good enough to go into regular rotation. Seriously, the chocolate chip cookie recipe in Eat Like a Dinosaur is worth the price of the book alone.

This week, we only have one Little League game (whew!) and probably a few practices…but I’m starting the 21 Day Sugar Detox today, we have a Seder dinner at church Thursday evening, no school and friends coming for a cookout on Friday, a family Easter picnic in the foothills Saturday and then there’s Easter on Sunday.

I’m thinking we’ll try to keep it simple.

Breakfasts/Snacks
Coco-Monkey or Green Morning Smoothies (21DSD)
Kale, Bacon and Black Olive Pie (Eat Like a Dinosaur)
Paleo Muffin Tops (for the kiddos)…assuming my almond flour arrives soon
Chopped Veggies
Nuts
Green topped banana with almond butter

Monday
50/50 burgers (from Eat Like a Dinosaur)

Shakey Pork BBQ (p. 53) with Texas BBQ Sauce (p. 145)

Tom is cooking the tri tip and I think I’ll bring a few of the sweetener free chocolate almond butter cups from the 21DSD manual

Mashed Cauliflower (Well Fed)
Cinnamon Parsnips (maybe with half carrots)
