Bountiful Baskets Menu Plan 3/3/11- Paleo Style

 The above picture is of Jackson before the BYU vs. Ole Miss game.  I made "Cougar Tails" and "Cougar Paws" and he was thrilled.  Lately, Jackson has been quite the jokester.  As he helped me in the kitchen he said:  "Mommy, maybe you should make Cougar bums...Hahahahaaaa."  Love that kid.  I haven't posted a menu plan in ages.  I stopped getting a Bountiful Basket for awhile because the quality seemed to be dwindling, but I decided to get one yesterday and I was happy with my offering.  Yeay!

Here's what I got:

• 2 heads of romaine lettuce
• spinach
• celery
• cauliflower
• potatoes
• mangos
• green grapes
• pears
• tomatoes
• plums 

 I chopped up my lettuce and mixed it with the spinach.  Then I put it into gallon storage bags so the mix would last longer.  We're going to be eating a lot of freaking salad in these parts this week! Lately I've been sort of obsessed with Mark's Daily Apple.  It's a website that promotes living and eating like our hunter/gatherer Paleolithic ancestors.  There are a myriad of reasons I'm interested in this approach, but maybe I'll explain that in another post. Just wanted to explain why I have a bunch of Paleo recipes on the menu for the week.


Here's my plan:


Breakfast:

•  Eggs. sauteed zucchini, and turkey bacon
•  Zucchini, Banana, Almond Smoothies (I have zucchini coming out of my ears)

Lunch:

• Salads

Dinner:

• Friday:  Lime Grilled Chicken + Salad

• Saturday:  Potato Soup
