I’m being lazy and uploading this from my phone- so here is this week’s plan ( a couple days late).
This Week’s Eats: August 11 – 17
This is my first week of having to go back to work almost every day (classes start Thursday), so I’m back to prepping meals and lunches. I’m determined to stick with it this time, and the goal is to cook at least 3-4 meals a week and several sides, which will make it easy to pack lunches that aren’t processed each day for work.
Here’s what’s on tap for this week:
Sunday: Crab Cakes, Tomato and Avocado Salad, and sweet potato fries
Monday: Paleo Pepper Steak, Maple Bacon Sweet Potatoes
Tuesday: Skinny Coconut Shrimp
Wednesday: Family Dinner at the Grandparents
Thursday: Breakfast for dinner
Friday: leftovers
Also making:
- Guacamole Deviled Eggs
- Paleo Candy Bars
- Spicy Dr. Pepper Pork (to have for lunches and to freeze)
This Week’s Eats: July 1 – July 7
Just like last week, I’m cooking my way through several Cooking Light recipes.
Seared Scallops with Summer Vegetables and Beurre Blanc: This was also super simple, and delicious. Scallops are my favorite…I just wish they weren’t quite so expensive here. I didn’t really care for the Beurre Blanc, so probably would make it without that. (Monday night)
Maple Bacon Mashed Sweet Potatoes: Made this to go with the scallops. Cooked the potatoes in the microwave, scrape out the pulp, mash, add a little butter, milk, and syrup (I used agave), and top with crumbled bacon. I mean, couldn’t be bad, right? Right.
Crab Cakes with Spicy Remoulade: I have plans to make this one, but crab is ridiculously expensive. Since I don’t want to spend $22 on a pound of crabmeat, I’ll look around or wait until I can find it cheaper.
Spice Rubbed NY Strips with Avocado Lime Salsa: Yep, another repeat of last week….because why not when it was a delicious success!
