2016 Week 48

We had an awesome week in Breckenridge with my family for Thanksgiving.
Lots of easy, yummy food was made and eaten,
lots of Pie Face was played,
and lots of laughs were had.
And the week even culminated with a big Buff win!
Now we're home today to get ready for the week ahead and cheer on the Broncos tonight.

And I'm starting a big challenge this month.
The Whole30.
No alcohol, no sugar, no dairy, and no grains for the next 30 days.
It certainly scary to write that down, even if no one reads this blog!
I am going to be eating a whole bunch of veggies, eggs, fish, and fruit this month.
My plan is to make one dinner for everyone that is Whole30 compliant
and then add in something like rice or a grain for the family.
Here's to hoping! 

Dinners this week:
Sunday - Spaghetti and meatballs, salad and garlic bread, and fruit.
Monday - Zucchini and Sweet potato latkes with spicy tilapia.
Tuesday - Pesto salmon with veggies in foil.
Wednesday - Grilled veggies with two veggies and a fruit.
Thursday - One pan blackened cod with zucchini and sweet potatoes.
Friday - Shrimp and greens for me, probably pizza for the family.
Saturday - Tuna cakes with a green salad and avocado.


2016 Week 47

Thankful!

2016 Week 46

It's been a tough week emotionally.
We all needed some time outside and unplugged.
Luckily, the weather agreed. 
It's been a hot October and November here so far,
but I heard snow is coming Thursday. 
We'll see.

I have been loving a new cookbook I discovered and many recipes from this week are from it.
The book it Run Fast, Eat Slow and the recipes are amazing. 
It's one of the first cook books that I've found that really follows my food philosophy,
which is real food (including fat) and lots of veggie and fish options.

Dinners this week:
Sunday - Gumbo with friends after the Bronco game.
Monday - Eat out for the school.
Tuesday - Salmon cakes and artichokes.
Wednesday - Quinoa risotto with zucchini and fresh bread.
Thursday - Veggie fried rice with shrimp.
Friday - Homemade pizza night.
Saturday - Dinner out.
