Yet onto another week of meals for a meat freak, vegetarian, and a picky toddler. Never a dull moment figuring out how to simplify this puzzle.
So this is the game plan:
Breakfasts ideas are just for greenbean and I so we will have green smoothies, waffles, oatmeal, and tofu scramble. I have become slightly addicted to green smoothies. So simple and delicious, yet packed with nutrition. Best part is greenbean LOVES them too. This might sound nerdy, but I get a huge sense of joy as I watch her down a big glass of greens with a smile on her face.
Green smoothie recipe: In a blender I add: 1 banana, big handful of baby spinach or kale leaves, orange juice, frozen blueberries, flaxseed oil, and ice. Blend until smooth and add more liquid/ice until desired thickness. May add agave nectar or stevia to sweeten if needed.
Lunches will be boring and easy with sandwiches, salads, soups, leftovers.
Dinners are going to be easier this week because it will just be greenbean and I until Thursday.
Monday- Vegetable soup (see my book of the day post).
Tuesday- BLT's with potato salad. I use this bacon and greenbean likes it too.
Wednesday- Rice and lentils with broccoli. Add chicken nuggets for greenbean.
Thursday- Veggie chili with cornbread that did not get made last week. I will add ground beef at the end to my husband's portion.
Friday- Homemade pizza. Toppings for my portion are black olives and pineapple. Husband will have pepperoni and sausage.
Saturday- Veggie burger for me, regular burger for husband, and chicken nuggets for greenbean. Served with cold green bean salad.
Sunday- Leftovers from the week, hopefully.
