My Paleo Plate {Weekly Food Recap + Menu Plan}

Welcome back for another week of my paleo plate!  (If you missed last week’s explanation post – you can find it here!)

This week was absolutely CHAOTIC! I pretty much FAILED at taking pictures, and truthfully I didn’t have the best eating week too.  Firstly because I spent Sun-Tues sick with a fever and no appetite.  I think I pretty much lived on bubble water and crackers… (Totally not Paleo!!)  Then I spent the rest of my week playing catch up.  I have the hardest time staying Paleo when my week is insane.  It seems like no matter how much planning I put in, the temptation of doing what is easiest wins…

I bought a book this week to help me fight the “just do what is easiest” voice in my head!

Paleo Power Lunch: Easy, Filling, & Delicious Workday Meal Strategies is $14.48 on Amazon.  So far I really like it!

So what did I eat this week:

Wednesday:

*My first day back to real food.

Breakfast: Cashews and a banana.

Lunch: Nitrate free deli turkey and ham, guacamole, strawberries, peppers, plantain chips.

Dinner: Garlic roasted sweet potatoes and green beans (the regular potatoes were for my husband) with lemon chicken (was so hungry I ate my plate before taking a picture!!)

Thursday:

Breakfast: (not shown) coconut milk smoothie.

Lunch: Random and light… Guacamole with salsa, strawberries, snap peas, black olives.

Dinner: Cabbage with carnitas, olives, red peppers, salsa.

Dessert: Liz lovely cookie!

Friday:

Breakfast: (Not shown) Smoothie made with coconut milk, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and banana.

Lunch: Guacamole and plantain chips, apple slices, and a Tuna/Sweet potato bowl with cherry tomatoes, olives, and olive oil.

Dinner: (Also not shown – told you I stunk at pictures this week!) BLT Salad with sunflower seed and sun dried tomato dressing. (Recipe coming soon!)
