WEEKLY MENU.......
Sample Weekly Menu of our Whole Foods Eating..... MominPA asked me what our menu looks like since we switched to whole food eating so I figured I would share it with everyone. Enjoy, any questions feel free to ask......
MONDAY.......
Breakfast - Steel cut oats for oatmeal (usually made in the crockpot overnight) served with raisins, dates, prunes and apples
Early Afternoon snack - Handful of raw nuts and some type of dried fruit
Lunch - Veggie sandwiches on homemade whole grain bread . Spread on the bread is a garlic paste made out of freshly pressed garlic cloves in olive oil. Sandwiches are then seasoned with fresh herbs and various seasonings served with cut up apples and baby carrots and dip such as dill flavored Miso or homemade ranch dressing.
Late Afternoon snack - Raw milk cheese with whole grain crackers
Dinner - Beef and bean burritos rolled in homemade whole wheat tortillas with homemade refried beans (recipe is in my archives) usually cooked in crockpot overnight. Meat from free roaming grass fed, no antibiotics, no hormones cows or buffalo. Topped with organic baby spinach, raw onions, organic raw milk cheese, organic sour cream, organic tomatoes, and organic avocados. Served with organic blue corn chips that have flax seeds or sesame seeds in them. Or we make our own corn chips. Very easy, fast and yummy.
TUESDAY.......
Breakfast - Cream of wheat (sometimes I grind my own wheat into a coarse cut to make this or I buy it in bulk at the health food store) We add raisins and grade A maple syrup not the bad kind but the true and healthy kind. Maple syrup is full of minerals and vitamins. I also serve dried prunes and dried figs with it.
Early Afternoon Snack - Cut up organic apple slices/cubes and raw seeds
Lunch - Deep Sea tuna (deep sea is important to insure no mercury and bad stuff is in the tuna. Always buy a good and healthy kind of tuna from the health food store. It is well worth it for the health of your family). I add raw onion, celery, fresh dill, and a little bit of Bills Chik Nish seasoning. I serve it on homemade whole grain bread or I serve it in homemade whole grain tortillas.
