2-Week Menu Plan

I am putting together our family's menu for the next few weeks and thought I would post it here for my own reference and in case anyone else wanted some meal ideas.  Some of these recipes are mine and many of them came from other healthy blogs. I have made all of them and they have turned out great!  I have included the links to them if I got it elsewhere. To print your own weekly planner, see here.

WEEK ONE

• Monday: Greek Yogurt Chicken, Roasted Potatoes, and Oven-baked Green Beans

Notes: For the roasted potatoes, I just chop potatoes and combine them with a little olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and paprika.  I put them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and lightly sprayed and bake at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes.

• Tuesday: Homemade Meatballs over Zucchini Pasta, Fresh Fruit

Notes: I used a spiralizer to make the zucchini pasta.  After I spiralize it, I put it in a skillet over high heat with some oil and salt and whatever spices I have on hand.  I let it cook for about 5 minutes and then serve the meatballs over it.  I love my spiralizer!  See it here.

• Wednesday: Cauliflower Stir Fry, Apple Muffins (gluten, grain and dairy free)

Notes: For the apple muffins, instead of grating my apples, I just diced them.  I also added 1/4 cup of raisins.

• Thursday: Stuffed Peppers, Cooked Apples

Notes: I have several substitutions/additions for this recipe. I use 3 sweet potatoes, but I bake them instead of boiling them.  I also add 3 cooked chicken breasts to this.  I use a can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh ones. I also add sauted fresh spinach to this as well.  You can't even taste it and it's a great way to get in some extra veggies.  I use 6 peppers for this recipe.

• Friday: Crockpot Vegetable Soup, Grain Free Dinner Rolls

Notes: I actually have not made these rolls yet, but everything I have made from this site is delicious, so I can't wait to try these!

WEEK TWO

• Monday: Feta Cheese Turkey Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Spinach Salad with strawberries and blueberries

Notes: I make a homemade salad dressing that consists of 2 oz. balsalmic vinegar, 6 oz. olive oil and 1 Tbsp. Honey

• Tuesday: Teriyaki Chicken and Veggies

• Wednesday: Cheeseburger Zucchini Boats, Fresh Fruit

• Thursday: Tomato and Feta Cheese Chicken Bake, Healthy Sweet Potato Casserole, Peas

Notes: I used a gf flour for the heatlhy sweet potato casserole, or you can just leave it out altogether.  

• Friday: Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Notes: I added 1 Tbsp of Almond Flour to the pizza crust to make it hold together a little better. I like to top my "pizza" with lots of veggies and some fruit: spinach, peppers, broccoli, zucchini, tomatoes, pineapple, etc.

SWEET TREATS:

Grain Free Cobbler (made with Coconut Flour)
Notes: This cobbler is so good!  I used 2 1/2 cups of frozen berries (raspberry, strawberry and blueberry blend with two chopped apples). It did take a lot longer for mine to cook- about 55 mintues instead of the 35 minutes that the recipe says.  This makes a great breakfast for the kids too!
