Another week in the books, with a snow day thrown in for good measure.

And bad news (good news?). As of this past Saturday, we started doing Whole30.
My challenge : to cook whole30 meals and modify them to be kid friendly/acceptable and dare I say, delicious? You are welcome to join along. Or, totally understandable if you want to just work your way through the archives of past menus until we are back to regular eating again. Wish us luck!

MONDAY //

Flu-Fighter Chicken Noodle Soup
notes: super simple, super basic chicken noodle soup. i made with whole wheat rotini noodles. the perfect bowl of comfort food.

On the Side : Cheese + Crackers, Sliced Apples

TUESDAY //

Crockpot Chili from Halfbaked Harvest
notes: favorite chili recipe ever. i omit the poblano peppers and add 2 cans dark kidney beans.

Five Ingredient Beer Bread

Date Night | Kids had Meatball Stroganoff over Egg Noodles, Peas

THURSDAY //

One Skillet Mediterranean Chicken
notes: I roasted some boneless skinless chicken breasts w/ olive oil, salt and pepper and sliced into medallions to add to this dish. also omitted the mushrooms. the flavors were delicious. you would never know it was paleo/whole30. Top with feta for the full mediterranean experience 😉

Lightened Patatas Bravas

Roast Broccoli

On the Side : sauteed kale, grapefruit, blueberry muffins for kids

SUNDAY //

Bacon Burger + Fries Skillet
notes: this is a recipe I’d make even if I wasn’t doing whole30. lots of good flavors going on here and very hearty and satisfying.
