    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:
          • Leftovers from dinner
          • Salads

            Dinner:
            • Thursday:  I have class:  Leftovers
            • Sunday:  Souvlaki with veggies, (rice for Andy and Jackson)
