This Week's Menu Plan, Among Other Things

Well, I've been wanting shrimp for awhile, but around here, it is hard to find some that is not from Thailand, so we didn't  have a shrimp meal last week :(

I went to Aldi on Thursday and got 6 nectarines, 6 peaches, 2 lbs. of red grapes, and 4.5 lbs. of bananas all for $6 and change.  Not bad.

We went out to eat as a family once over the weekend since we had some gift cards to use :)


Here's the plan for this week-

Breakfasts:
Eggs and Fruit/Smoothies
Paleo Apple Muffins

Lunches:
Tuna and Avocado Salad
Leftovers

Dinner ideas:
Monday: Pollo Con Salsa Roja*
Tuesday: Garden Fresh Meatballs*, Salad
Wednesday: Sundried Tomato Chicken Bake, Green Beans
Thursday: Meaty Pumpkin Souffle*
Weekend: with family

Taking to Potluck:
Sunny Deviled Eggs*

I am on the lookout for paleo cold lunch ideas for my kids that include healthy fats (to keep them sane) without any nuts or nut products... because that is what I will be having to pack once a week for my kiddos.  (No nut products is the school rule.) I'm thinking lots of avocados, which my kids love :)  And of course meat, eggs, veggies, fruit, etc.  And maybe some of these, as a treat?

Another side note: Last week for my son's b-day, I decided to take it easy and buy a Trader Joe's flour less chocolate cake.  He loves chocolate as much as me.  It was a splurge at $7 for one smallish cake but it was good, kind of like the consistency of a homemade brownie.  I made Laura's healthy homemade ice cream recipe with raw cream, milk, farm eggs, and maple syrup (I made 1/4 of the recipe she makes).  It, too, was good.  And I bought a few of Trader Joe's frozen pizzas.  That, I will never do again.  We are NOT picky eaters, but they were awful, dry and tasteless.  Truly a waste of money.  I wished I had gotten a Costco take 'n' bake pepperoni pizza instead.  Even with all the crap in it, it would have at least tasted good.  Oh well, lesson learned!

Last week, I also unfortunately chose to get too little sleep and consequently paid the price.  I was exhausted, got a cold, uncharacteristically relied on caffeine and starches, and was a emotional, grumpy mess.  I took the latter half of the week off from working out in order to sleep in a little and just chill out and recover.  I feel much better now and am reminded of how much those choices affect me... And now we are back in the paleo saddle!
