I love the Monday of a 3 day weekend. It’s like a little bonus day. Even on ones that are going to be busy, I wake up and smile.
This week is busy. Busy, busy, busy. We’re still adapting to being back to school, and what it means when one of those schools is 20 minutes away. It’s good, though. This is also week 4 of my Whole30 (you can see the other menu plans here, here and here) and find out more abut what it is at Whole9Life. I am definitely in the golden days of it – sleeping like a rock, feeling awesome and with energy coming out of my ears.
Come back on Wednesday when I’m sharing my menu planning process. It’s something I get asked about often and that I think I’ve gotten down to the best way for me. And Thursday, I’ll tell you how Pinterest has helped save me time and give me much needed meal inspiration.
Here’s this week’s menu plan:
Monday
Blackened Chicken and Avocado Sauce
Zucchini Noodles (me)
Quinoa Noodles
Broccoli
Tuesday
Shredded Beef Taco Roast
Salad
Guacamole
Wednesday
eating out (appointments everywhere!)
Thursday
Crockpot Chicken
Mashed Potatoes
Mashed Cauliflower (me – reserve half the head for Friday night)
Friday
Tri Tip (on the grill)
Cauliflower Rice (using the method in Well Fed)
Rice Pilaf (need bone broth)
Saturday
Potluck at LG church
Chocolate Chili (double and save half for Sunday potluck lunch)
Sunday
Omelettes
Sweet potato hash?
What’s on your menu this week?
Shared at Org Junkie’s Menu Plan Monday, Musings of a Housewife’s Gluten Free Weekly Meal Plan, the Gluten Free Menu Swap at Celiac Family and the Healthy Branscoms What’s for Dinner. Need ideas for dinner? They’ve got them!
I should try that chili… pinning now. Do you think it is too spicy for little kids?
We actually found it to be very mild, almost a little under-spiced for our preferences. Melissa Joulwan suggested adding some jalapeno for more heat. I’ll do that for when I make it at home, but for taking to potlucks and for kids I think the recipe as is is perfect.
Good to know. Thanks!

I found you through MPM. I just started switching over to Paleo to support my boyfriend in his weight loss goals. Hoping I can stick to it, too.
Good luck! It’s an adjustment, but it’s hard to put into words what a difference eating this way has made in my health and my life.
