Meals : 1.6.2012

Ok, I think I'm going to give these meal posts a try. If they are completely horrible and don't help a soul, I'll gladly step down from my Paleo soapbox :)

For some reason my body was out of whack this past week and I fought a terrible migraine for almost three days straight. On Friday, we were completely out of food but I had zero energy to sit down and do our meal plan. Jim, thankfully, stepped up to the plate and took care of everything. I'm a pretty huge control freak when it comes to grocery shopping but because of how I was feeling, I really had no choice but to let him take the reins. He may have forgotten bacon and milk for Eli....but I still give him an A for effort :)

Friday: Fresh cod seasoned with olive oil and garlic pepper. Jim made these on the grill which I think is the only way to go! We had a side salad, brussel sprouts and orka.

Saturday: Beanless chili. This was actually our first attempt at beanless chili but it turned out super yummy. Instead of beans and corn, Jim added diced zucchini and yellow squash. I ditched the sour cream and cheese but Jim and Eli indulged. Oh, side salad included.

Sunday: Leftovers

Monday: Pot roast with carrots, celery and potatos. I'll forgo the potatos.

Tuesday: Experiment night. Jim used to make this meal he got from the fire house that included sour kraut, noodles, Polish sausage and cream of mushroom soup. Sounds weird and gross but I'm not gonna lie...it was really good. Well, obviously we can't do noodles and Cream of mushroom soup is full of god-knows-what so we're going to play around a bit. I actually saw this on Dr. Oz last week but we're going to add our own touch on a dish that will include sour kraut, chopped tomatoes, sausage, olive oil, salt and pepper. It might be good. It might be gross. I'll be sure to let you know the verdict.

So, there ya go. Five nights of meals. Not very original right? Maybe Paleo eating isn't difficult after all.....hhhhhmmmm ;)
