I thought long and hard about what my readers need most right now and I decided you all would like to see my weekly meal plans in action! Did I make a good guess?
If you’re new here, you may want to get caught up on how I do meal planning. If you are a die-hard reader bordering on stalker, then let’s just get right to it!
Many of you suggested I do a FULL meal plan that includes breakfast, lunch, & dinner. Don’t be bummed when you see all the “leftovers” on the lunches. I TRULY for realz do this.
PROS? Lunch is waiting for me almost everyday in the fridge. When I clean up dinner, I actually divide dinner leftovers into my awesome stainless steel lunchboxes. And what about my kids that go to school? They either eat cold food, or I put it in a thermos. It’s worth it for me to make extra dinner so I don’t have to think about lunch the next day. Real food can be easy! Let’s begin, shall we?
Sunday
Boiled eggs, toast with real butter & organic jam & raw milk.
Grilled cheese sandwiches & veggie platter.
Roast chicken, mashed potatoes with real butter, & steamed green beans.
- After you’ve divided dinner’s leftovers into tomorrow’s lunch containers, save any extra chicken for tomorrow’s dinner.
- Save the bones from tonight’s dinner.
Monday
Homemade yogurt & granola with fruit.
LEFTOVERS from Sunday dinner.
Alfredo sauce with whole-grain pasta and steamed broccoli.
- While dinner’s cooking, start your homemade broth from Sunday night’s bones.

I really really want to eat better.
I have a couple problems. I am not a fish eater. I just can’t stomach it. Any suggestions?
Also, I’m allergic to peanut butter. Like anaphylaxis allergic. I know this is just a sample menu, but I’m LOVING it except for those couple of things.
I would love some suggestions.
I was wondering what kind of noodles you use for your tuna casserole? My kids love it…but I can’t find good noodles to work with. Love your blog!!
I sometimes use whole-wheat pasta, brown rice or quinoa(corn-free) pasta. Other times I like to make my own(recipe coming soon), it just depends on the day!
