Meal Planning- 1 Week of Dinners (Paleo and Gluten Free)

Last week I had all my breakfast & dinner meals planned out and it was awesome!  Always helps when I meal plan and then shop.  Sometimes I do it transversely and shop and see what is available/looks good/is a good price.  Either way works fairly well, but I've been desiring a little more variety and to try a few new recipes.  We often use any leftovers for lunches, so I often make 2 entrees a night.  If your family is smaller or doesn't like leftovers, stick to one.



Sunday:
Lazy Day Lasagna -basically this recipe with your desired ratio of cheeses.  We love these gluten free noodles from Target.  This needs to be made the night before or in the morning, so think ahead.
Spaghetti Squash Bolognese- fantastic Paleo dish that comes together quickly, but the sauce can easily be made ahead.
Roasted asparagus

Prep for tomorrow:  soak chicken breasts in salt water, make dipping sauce


Monday:
Paleo Chicken Fingers with Honey Dijon Sauce
Steamed broccoli with grass fed butter

Prep for tomorrow:  defrost 2 lbs ground beef, chop onion and pepper for chili, peel and cube 4 potatoes and place in cold water in the fridge


Tuesday:
Paleo Chili
Loaded Potato Soup
Sliced cheese and crackers- we have really been loving Simple Mills Almond Flour crackers from Costco
Fruit tray

Prep for tomorrow:  make tarter sauce


Wednesday:
Paleo Fried Fish- double batch
Tartar Sauce- times 4
Sauteed vegetables in avocado oil (Brussels sprouts, onion, red pepper, broccoli)
Roasted carrots

Prep for tomorrow:  defrost beef roast, chop lettuce and veggies for salad


Thursday:
Pressure Cooker Pot Roast
Baked sweet potatoes
Salad

Prep for tomorrow:  defrost chicken


Friday:
Rotisserie Style Chicken
Tomato soup- (I made lots of this in the summer and froze it)
Mixed vegetables

Prep for tomorrow:  none needed!
