Menu Plan Monday: Let's try this again

November 10, 2014
I admit, I fell off the bandwagon, a few times lately it seems. We've been eating in/out a lot (thanks +EAT24), and a lot of rotisserie chicken, and breakfast for dinner, or popcorn for dinner. I just haven't been motivated, you know?

So this morning I gave myself a kick in the ass and went through all of my recipes that could easily be converted to dairy-free, soy-free (the hardest part), and gluten-free. I had no idea how many items have soy in them! We're trying out three different butter alternatives right now. I got some ghee at Trader Joe's for myself (going to try Bulletproof coffee - but with k-cups and coconut oil) and two other brands, one explicitly soy-free, the other has soy lecithin, from Ralphs. I also need to find some coconut aminos (soy sauce alternative), but Joy has been OK with me making any Asian meals with the spices and no sauce (like Beef and Broccoli).

I only made it to the C's in Pepperplate (available for iOS, Android, Windows, and Kindle Fire). And it only took me 10 minutes. I guess I have more paleo-type recipes than I gave myself credit for, not including all of the chocolate desserts I seem to have in there.


Here's what's on deck this week:
Monday: Apple Chicken Sausage and Kale soup. Finally biting the bullet and eating kale instead of spinach.
Tuesday: Turkey Tacos - minus the cheese. That will be interesting.
Wednesday: Orange Chicken - no soy sauce
Thursday: Cajun Salmon - whew! No conversion necessary!
Friday: Caribbean Chicken with Pineapple-Black Bean Sauce (and mango chutney!) (rice for her, not for me).
