Menu Plan - 4.1.12


I made the salad in mason jars and I have only tried them one day.  I also made little mini bowls of nuts to put on top.  I mixed walnuts, pecans, almonds and sunflower seeds.  For the first day it was delicious.  We will see how tomorrow goes.  It was so easy though!  I hope to do this every week.   My salads are layered this way (from bottom to top) - 1 T. of dressing, red onions, carrots (chopped), green peppers, celery, cooked quinoa, Romain lettuce and spinach.  The dressing is great - it is with all of the hardier veggies and they stay crunchy so far.  I don't love dressing so 1 T. was plenty for me, but my husband would have liked to have  more.  My dressing was a very simple homemade balsamic vinaigrette.

I also chopped up a bunch of fruit and veggies and put them in our trays that we have and put them in the fridge to pull out for breakfasts and lunches. 

I would also recommend listening to this podcast from Goats Milk Stuff:  How to Eat Enough Fruits and Veggies.  She gives lots of great tips and ideas.  I need all the help I can get.

Now onto my menu, as usual I keep breakfast and lunches simple.  I do some things on the weekend to make it easier for the week. Breakfasts are usually served with fruit smoothies.

  • Eggs and bacon and applesauce

  1. Did you know if you enter www.extraordinaryordinarylife.blogpot.com you end up at a very strange bible prophecy website. Just thought it was odd...
    By the way, I really like your salad idea. How does it taste w/the dressing already mixed in?
