Weekly Menu Plan

I've been thinking about adding a weekly menu plan to this blog in order to share some ideas of what we're eating during the week.  Obviously, the one recipe or link I may share each week doesn't begin to cover what we actually eat around here.  The blogging thing is not my strong suit, so we'll just give this a trial run...  I'm going to approach this as an "what we actually ate" list instead of a "what we would eat if everything goes according to plan" list.  I'll start with today, Sunday, then (hopefully) add to this post as the week wears on.

Sunday

Breakfast: leftover baked oatmeal or leftover banana muffins (I used hard white whole wheat flour and sucanat)

Lunch: grilled chicken thighs with homemade BBQ sauce; steamed broccoli with cultured butter, Celtic sea salt, and pepper; baked potatoes with cultured butter, cultured sour cream, raw cheese, Celtic sea salt, and pepper; coconut flour brownies

Snacks: water kefir, fruit

Dinner: leftovers

Monday
