Week 578 Weekly Menu
Happy Sunday! This week I attended the Mom 2 Summit and it was, as usual, really wonderful. This year I came home with a list of things to do that are going to improve my {aging} blog. So get ready! Changes are in store and they are all for the better! (Although, honestly, some of those changes are pretty boring and you won’t even know they happened…but I’m good with that because spring cleaning always feels good, even when no one sees inside your closets!)

Week 570 Weekly Menu
Hey all! It’s time for some meal planning!
Regarding the whole clean eating thing I’ve been doing, I’m going to write a separate post about it instead of updating here in the weekly menu. As I talk to people in real life, I’m finding that even the most reluctant want to give some variation of this a try by the time we are done with our conversation. So, I’ll write a post explaining how I have adjusted my diet and why, along with tons of ideas for food you can actually eat when it feels like everything is off limits. Stay tuned!
Until then, here is my menu for the week, with modifications for my current way of eating in parentheses.
MONDAY:
– Thai Beef Basil with Brown RiceTUESDAY:
– Roasted Chicken and VegetablesWEDNESDAY:
– Chicken Stir Fry, Brown Rice and Potstickers (no potstickers for me)THURSDAY:
– LeftoversFRIDAY:
– Taco Night (Carnitas and Chicken; I will be having a fajita bowl with brown rice)SATURDAY:
– Eat out nightSUNDAY:
– Breakfast for Dinner: Pancakes and Smoothies (Going to try these for myself and adjust to make them flourless and dairy-free)You all know the drill! Share your menus in the comments! Love that we are all back on this meal planning train together!

Week 569 Weekly Menu
Hi everyone!
For those who care about the whole clean eating thing that’s happening with me right now…I went to the doctor and it is definitely food that is causing the trouble. All test results came back super healthy, so I’m dealing with food allergies and sensitivities. So, all in all, good news…but maybe a bit annoying. 😉 I’m still eating crazy healthy and going to slowly experiment with different foods to see what kind of reaction I have (if any) to different things. Quite frankly, when I wrote last week’s post I was feeling so grumpy about what I couldn’t eat and quite bored with my options. Another week in and my mindset is completely different. Eating this way is definitely getting easier (I never in a million years thought I would breathe those words because bread and also food writer). Anyway, this really is a fascinating process and I’ll write more soon. Promise. Until then, let’s get down to business with planning out dinner this week, shall we?
MONDAY:
– Roasted Chicken (link to my recipe coming this week – will update when it’s live!)
– Roasted Vegetables and SaladTUESDAY:
– Boozy Beef StewWEDNESDAY:
– Stuffed PeppersTHURSDAY:
– LeftoversFRIDAY:
– Thai Beef Basil with Brown RiceSATURDAY:
– Eat out nightSUNDAY:
– Chicken Stir Fry with Potstickers (I won’t be eating the potstickers, but my kids will revolt if I don’t provide them anyway!)You all know the drill! Share those menus you’ve got planned in the comments below! THANK YOU!
