As much as I love being in the kitchen, I’ve had a hard time coming up with dinner ideas as of late. Daniel and I have been utilizing the WalMart grocery pick-up and it has been a game. changer. We love it. We tend to stick to a few staples, barely swaying from the same old list. To save my-future-self time, I figured I’d write down my meal plan for this week so I have something to look back on if I have a particularly busy day.
First thing in the morning will be my warm lemon water followed by black coffee or detox tea. I bought two flavors of Lara Bars to curb the mid-day cravings and my drink-one-gallon-of-water-challenge is back on. Starting now.
Creamy Balsamic Chicken + Brussel Sprouts – I found this recipe during my second round of Whole 30. My first round had been boring and bland – I didn’t do much research to see what I could/couldn’t eat. Then a lightbulb went off, I checked Pinterest and voilà.
Burgers + sweet potato fries. We’ll probably dress up the burgers with some guacamole (avocado, red onion, garlic powder, lime juice + cilantro). Daniel will add cheese to his.
Ranch Chicken Thighs + Veggies. I like to utilize the crockpot, especially if I have a long run after work. I’ll pre-cut carrots and potatoes and let the chicken thighs thaw overnight, then throw it all together the next morning and turn it on low while I’m at work. (This week, the 6-hour cook time works perfectly since I’ve been letting Oakley out in the afternoon anyway.)
Buffalo Chicken + Sweet Potatoes. Enough said.
Lastly, I’ll probably just whip together a large salad. Hard boiled eggs, beets and all. I have a few Primal Kitchen salad dressings to choose from. I may even steam a few carrots if I’m feeling crazy.
