I posted else where that I revamped how I cook for the week. I was getting stressed having to make a meal every night.
I've been doing Batch cooking on Sundays. I brown/cook all my protein, store some in the freezer to take out throughout the week, steam-sauteed (not fully cook) veggies that take longer, and chop everything. The method is explained here theclothesmakethegirl.com/2013/12/29/whole30-2014-week-1-meal-plan/

The blogger has a Paleo cookbook I love that talks about the difference between getting Dinner on the table and Cooking - the later being something that takes time and effort and should be reserved when you have more time. Last week I just focused on getting Protein + veggie + healthy fat on the table. It made my most involved dinner take 10 minutes. Life changing.

So this week we have leftover steak, ground pork, lamb and beef, and shrimp to chose as proteins. Veggies - zucchini, yellow squash, cauliflower, broccoli, red bell peppers, cucumbers, kale, spinach and some frozen veggies just in case.

 privacy (sorry haven't figured out how to tag) do your kids eat paleo? Really what I am asking is do your kids eat what you posted above? Because then I will be extremely jealous.

[mtnmomma13]

privacy I've seen those things before, but have been hesitant because of the amount of time I perceived it to take on Sunday (my lazy day). Do you find it cumbersome on Sunday to do everything? Or is the trade off during the week just worth the effort on Sunday?

Thanks for the link...I might try this next week and see how it goes.

Same!

I saw someone else had a "hot tater tot dish" - is that tater tot casserole? B/c I made that Sunday! Twinkies!

m-Left over tater tot casserole

t-ravioli and marinara

w-chicken tacos with pinto beans on the side and on the tacos.

r-whole wheat penne with fettucini sauce and extra chicken from the taco night

f-baked fish and a veggie steamer

I'm finding it hard to get time to make dinners every night and am hoping to start meal planning. When do you plan/shop/prep? How do you balance a social life with weekly prep on the weekends? We usually try to see grandparents and friends on the weekends. It wasn't a big deal when I was staying home, I would just go shopping on Monday morning and prep dinner while DD was napping or in her bouncer in the afternoon. I just don't have enough time to do everything now.

[tas1883]

Mon-spaghetti and meatballs
Tues-stuff peppers via crock pot
Wed-ravioli with leftover spaghetti sauce
Thurs-cilantro lime chicken tacos via crock pot
Fri-Quesadillas with leftover chicken from Thursday for DH veggie quesadillas for DD and me
Sat-Steak, yams/bake potato, veggies

[dashofreality]

privacy - Yep I'm jealous. The one thing I wasn't going to have was a picky eater....and I have a picky eater. I only make one meal and always have, but mainly my DD will only eat the carb or nothing. And fruit. She is waiting for fruitarians to become trendy.

H had a gum graft last week, so he's on an all ice cream diet still (with a little applesauce and yogurt thrown in for variety).

I did make a good soup on Sunday (Baked Potato with Cauliflower subbed in for Potato), and am still living on the leftovers from that.

Looking forward to him eating normal food again so I can meal plan. I do like that Sunday's food will last until Wednesday or Thursday though.

[sunbutter]

Monday was Sirloin, roasted potatoes and corn
Tuesday was turkey Cobb salad
Wednesday - probably shrimp and kielbasa with saffron rice
Thursday - ravioli
Friday - chicken sausage, Mac and cheese, broccoli
