Cajun Chicken thighs - I discovered  a yummy way to cook these in the slow cooker.  I put olive oil in the bottom and sprinkle cajun seasoning on the top and cook overnight.  It made them yummy and a little crunchy on the outside but tender on the inside!  I'll add some potatoes and steamed veggies with these.

Weekly Menu Paleo - 1.11.15

I cook a lot.  Like a lot lot lot lot lot - like run the dishwasher 2-3 times a day a lot.  I'm home, we homeschool so that is like 3 meals a day plus 2 snacks for 5-6 people!  I'm thankful though that we can be home and that I can control what we eat most days.  Its just the dishes - am I right???  But I am thankful for a dishwasher and kiddos that unload it.

Here is this week's menu.  Some are even Whole30 compliant.

Breakfast:

Paleo sausage egg mc"muffin"

Bacon and eggs and green peppers and apples

Baked Pumpkin Donuts (for the kiddos)

My fried potatoes, sausage and eggs skillet (It is basically Pioneer Woman's Breakfast Burritos without the cheese and without the tortillas)

Paleo Pumpkin Waffles

And this:

Breakfast - half an apple, 2 cups of spinach and Kake and my own creation of eggs, sausage and red peppers (even my picky 9 year old ate it!). #paleo #paleozone #Zonepaleo #whole30 #breakfast #meal1

Paleo/Whole30 Menu Plan - January 2015

A new year - will I blog more?  Who knows but I definitely want to get back at putting my menus down on "paper".

I try to have green smoothies at least once a day - spinach, carrots, an apple, some frozen fruit of some kind.

Here is this week's menu.  Some are even Whole30 compliant (like the johnny cakes and waffles aren't but most everything else is).  

Breakfast:

Paleo sausage egg mc"muffin"

Bacon and eggs and green peppers and apples

And this:

After I made waffles yesterday I decided to try this after seeing it on Facebook. I mixed a couple eggs, cooked sausage, onions and peppers and cooked it in the waffle iron. It was easy and good! I'm planning to make a bunch to freeze. #breakfast #paleo #freezercooking

March Menu Plan with printable

Breakfast:

• Blender Batter Waffles
• Eggs and bacon and toast
• Blender Batter Pancakes, syrup and fruit
• Baked Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal (going to try this!!)
• Cereal - lets just be serious

Lunch:

• Leftovers  
• Smoothies and popcorn
• Snacky lunch
• Black Bean Quesadillas and fruit

Supper:

Below is my March Menu Plan Printable.  If you click on it you can print it.  You can also click on each individual day to be taken to that recipe.  Most days have a recipe.  The few that don't are just simple recipes that you can do yourself.  I also gave some sides suggestions but if you are looking for more I wrote a post on Sides Dishes a while back.

Check out more menus at Menu Plan Monday. I hope you have a blessed week!

I do have a recipe to share sometime this week.  I made Alfredo bake with a new Alfredo sauce.  I made two - one to eat and one for the freezer. 

Food Storage
The green beans are canned.  We had 21 quarts canned and two bags in the freezer.  I also made about 5 half pints of salsa.  I am going to look into canning some soups.  I would like to try this Beef Vegetable soup and this Chicken Corn Soup.





Menu Plan

Now onto my menu, as usual I keep breakfast and lunches simple.  We eat the same thing week after week for breakfast and lunch.  I make a bunch of the blender batter waffles on Saturday to put in the freezer for the rest of the week.  I also cook my bacon in bulk and freeze to pull out and microwave during the week.

• Scrambled Eggs, turkey bacon and peaches

• Giant Breakfast Cookies and peaches (need to make these this week)
• Cereal and milk
