Menu Monday
How did Monday sneak up on me so fast??
PreacherMan was off to work early this morning - and this is most likely his last trip to Houston (more on that later), which means more family time for us and less stress/wear on Mama's nerves!
This weeks Menu:
Monday - Beef tips in gravy w/ onions and carrots over rice w/ fresh greens from garden
Tuesday - Grilled chicken w/ grilled veggies and spaghetti squash (that didn't get eaten last week)
Wednesday - probably sandwiches as we are hoping to go to the Knights of the Realm show at the county fair
Thursday - Leftovers
Friday - Paleo Spaghetti w/ garlic toast and green beans
This past spring I found out I am super sensitive to night shades. At first I had no clue what the doctor was talking about. But quickly found out that the night shade family includes: white potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, paprika, cucumbers and tobacco - read more about them here.
I've always loved peppers, potatoes and cucumbers but I miss tomatoes the most. Now I do have them once in a while BUT the reason I can't have them daily is because it causes my hands and feet to crack. I've had dry skin all my life and I've tried multiple dermatologists, special lotions and soaps and anything else I could think of. After being off night shades for about 3 weeks I noticed my hands healing and now my skin is smooth. And even though I miss salsa and all the other tomato based foods I used to eat - not having my hands crack and bleed is worth it!
Enjoy your Monday!

Menu Monday
Menu Plan Monday
We've been eating a lot of salads lately- fruit, lettuce and other, cold and easy to put together. There is a heat wave here, taking us into the 90s for the past few weeks (and lots of fires around!). I know that isn't hot compared to other places but growing up here.....85* is my limit! Although I do seem to be getting used to the warmer weather, it's not bothering me as much as it used to. And it does help that it cools off into the low 50s, sometimes high 40s at night.
So for the week of July 9th:
Monday - Turkey roll-ups, fresh green beans sauteed w/ mushrooms and onions
Tuesday - Hot dogs and cheddar zucchini pancakes w/ fresh peaches
Wednesday - Fruit salad w/ cottage cheese
Thursday - Beef kabobs w/ cous cous and roasted broccoli/cauliflower
Friday - Spaghetti squash w/ marinara sauce or white sauce & garlic toast
Saturday - Pizza!
Sunday lunch - Baked Ham w/ twice baked potato casserole & fresh green beans
Sunday dinner - Chef Salad
Happy Cooking!
