Paleo Month: The Rest of Week One (Minus the Weekend)

Share it Please
I meant to post on Wednesday. Obviously that didn't happen. But I have a very good excuse! I was finishing up a speech for English and it took up most of my day. Plus I was kinda stressed out, so, yeah- that was why I didn't post.

Okay, onto the good stuff. Since I'm a few days behind on posting what I ate each day during week one of our Paleo month, I'll just give you the whole menu now. Why am I doing this? Because maybe the curious reader out there wants to give Paleo a shot and needs somewhere to start. Or maybe you're just struggling with what to make for dinner. Whatever the case may be, I hope you benefit somehow from this post. Even if it's a few weeks or months from now.

By the way, I failed at taking pictures. When something yummy is put in front of me, I hardly want to stop and take pictures! I hope you can sympathize with me. I also apologize in advance for all the links. But I wanted to give credit to the people who came up with such amazing food!

To see what I ate on Day One visit this post.

Day Two:

Breakfast: Porridge with some cinnamon honey, blueberries, and walnuts

Lunch: Mulligatawny soup (this soup has diced chicken breast, carrots, chicken broth, curry, we added cabbage, and coconut milk stirred in), and lots of raw veggies on the side

Dinner: Baked butternut squash gnocchi topped with tomato sauce, steak with sautéed onions and mushrooms, and steamed broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, yellow squash, and zucchini

Day Three:

Breakfast: Butternut squash porridge with cinnamon, honey, blueberries, and almond milk

Lunch: leftover gnocchi, TJ's basil and sun-dried tomato chicken sausage, and vegetables

Dinner: Saffron "rice" (without the saffron) and fish or pork shoulder steaks

Day Four:

Breakfast: Porridge with blueberries, walnuts, and honey

Lunch: Eggy Wrap with mesquite turkey, shredded carrots, Boston lettuce, and Dijon mustard, cucumber and red bell peppers, walnuts and blueberries, and sweet potato chips

Dinner: Curry chicken tenders from TJ's, green beans, and baked sweet potatoes

Day Five: 

Breakfast: TJ's chicken apple sausage, and butternut squash porridge (using sweet potato) with blueberries, walnuts, cinnamon, and almond milk

Lunch: turkey wrapped around a lettuce leaf, carrots, cucumbers, red bell peppers, a Clementine, walnuts, cherries, and golden raisins

Dinner: Turkey chili and grain-free cornbread

 Again, sorry there aren't any pictures. I wish I could remember to take them, but like I said- when food's put in front of me I will start to eat it before I think, "Shoot! I should've taken a picture!"

    1. Everything except for breakfast. lol! I can have the same thing for breakfast every day and never get tired of it. It's a blessing and a curse. ;)

    Oh my goodness! You're writing a novel? Amazing! Good luck with, um, revising it!!!
    Best thing I ate this week...hm....OK, it was probably a peanut butter and oreo sandwich. It was sort of weird because the day after I ate it, CCK had a post on Chocolate Peanut Butter Oreos! Weird how things happen...:)
