Weekly Menu 10/2/17

It was certainly an exciting weekend for us! My husband competed in a Strongman Competition in Minnesota, which is a really cool event to experience!

Then we ate some great food

Well back to the weekly menu!!!

Monday:

Cool Ranch Tacos 

This has made it’s way to our weekly rotation. It is yummy! It makes great leftovers too, so I try to make extras!

Tuesday:

Spaghetti

I make regular noodles for the kids, but for me, I make  spaghetti squash “noodles”. Have you done this? It’s really easy and tastes a lot like pasta.

Here are some easy instructions on making them! 

Wednesday:

Paleo Chicken ala King

• 4 ounces of bacon (chopped)
• 1 onion (chopped)
• 1 leek (chopped)
• 1 red bell pepper (chopped)
• Chicken thighs (diced in bite sized pieces)
• 1/2 C White wine
• 1 (14 oz) can full fat coconunt milk
• 1 T arrow root power (dissolved in 1/4 c coconut milk)
• Trader Joe’s 21 seasoning salute, sea salt & oregano

Heat in large pan over medium-high heat, add bacon and cook until semi crispy. Set aside- keep bacon fat in pan

Add onion & leeks to pan- cook appx 3 minutes

Add white wine & cook until reduced by 3/4 cup

Add all but 1/4 C coconut milk

Add arrowroot powder/coconut mixture and cook until thickened

Season with sea salt, oregano & Trader Joe’s 21 seasoning salute

I like to serve this over sweet potatoes, it would be great over rice or cauliflower rice as well!

Thursday:

Pork Shoulder Roast

Have you heard of the Pioneer Woman? I love her show on Food Network. She doesn’t typically make healthy meals, but I have learned to adapt them a little, by making some simple changes. I personally make this into a crockpot meal, just because it works great for us on Mondays to do a crockpot meal.

The edits I make are:

• When making the marinade/sauce I go step by step, per the recipe except I sub out the sugar- instead of brown sugar, I use coconut sugar
• To make it into a crockpot meal, after making the sauce I coat the entire pork roast in the crockpot, flipping it around in it so it coats all sides. Then I put it on low and cook it all day long, over 12 hours

It makes the best shredded pork EVER! You can put it on tortillas, make it into a bowl with rice,or cauliflower rice, or just eat it by itself really- it’s that good.

Friday:

Leftovers

Saturday:

Out to Eat

Sunday:

BLEATS~ BLT’s but better!! Add a fried Egg and sliced Avocado and you have yourself a little slice of heaven!
