Reflections and This Week's Menu Plan

So, last week - "the week of pretty much all new dinner recipes" - was fun.

The keepers:

Wild Salmon Salad - just because it is a new and EASY way to use canned salmon. (I buy the wild caught kind for $1.99 at Aldi).  I realize the recipe online doesn't  say to use canned, but that's what the variation in the Everyday Paleo cookbook calls for.  Not a fav meal for the kids, but that's ok, maybe it will grow on them.  My littlest just always picks the stuff he likes out of salads anyways, and doesn't eat the lettuce.

Marvelous Meatballs - I love that this makes plenty for our family of 4 to get 2 meals out of it.  And that it is a crock-pot meal.  The sauce is nothing I'll rave about, but it tastes decent with no sugar in it, which is a first for me, so that is awesome to find.  Will definitely make again.

Spice Rub Crock Pot Chicken - at lot like the Sticky Chicken I have previously made, but not quite as spicy.  I used the carcass and made some extra stock to use for some Chicken Soup this week, so we'll see how that goes - I haven't tested the flavor yet.  The chicken meat was great, so I expect the stock to be as well.

Here are some things on the menu for this coming week...

Breakfasts:
Eggs
Smoothies
Berry Crumble
Dare we eat our ground turkey that is supposedly not on the recall list?  I already cooked it and made sausage out of it and it is in the freezer.... Should I toss it?

Lunches:
Chicken, Almonds, Grapes
Wild Salmon Salad
Leftovers from the evening before

Dinners:
Monday - Nitrate-Free Beef Hot Dogs and Sweet Potatoes
Tuesday - Cashew Chicken
Wednesday - There's a birthday boy!!  Pizza, cake, and homemade ice cream!
Thursday - Meatloaf, Peas, Salad
Friday - Chicken No-Tortilla Soup, Avocados, Salad
Saturday - Grilled Shrimp, Salad, Sweet Potatoes
Sunday - TBD

Fun treats, "for the kids".... :)
Fudge Babies
Dark Chocolate Covered Frozen Banana Bites
