I've been working on a menu that covers the next 3 weeks or so. I am feeling quite overwhelmed by everything I need to do, but part of the stress is because I haven't been using a working menu for a couple weeks. With Thanksgiving, it was all I could do to just organize that and how we were going to get through it without cheating too much! :) We did pretty well. I made separate batches of mashed potatoes for Eliot as well as bread, and dessert. So, I was quite a busy bee last week. But, now with Christmas coming, we want to make sure we are eating as healthy and as healing as possible to prepare for when my family comes into town. I'm including lots of ways to get our homemade broths in (soaked rice, soups, etc.).
Our breakfasts are pretty much a rotation of the following (although I eat 2 eggs almost religiously every day)
Potato/veggie skillet
GF pancakes
Teff Skillet bread
Musli (Soaked oats with nuts and dried fruit)
GF muffins
I'd prefer to not have so much grain for every breakfast. But, I do use a variety of grains like buckwheat, teff, and sorghum. I always soak overnight and none of the recipes I have use sweeteners. With no dairy, egg, or gluten, our options for breakfast are very limiting...ideas are always welcome...only don't say meat...we can't afford it! :)
So, here's a peek at this weeks menu:
Monday (yesterday)
Breakfast: Oats
Dinner: Turkey and potato soup with carrots in homemade stock
Tuesday
Breakfast: Potato/veggie skillet with sausage, Smoothies (with probiotics, Vit. D drops, Vit. C, eccinacea, and Eliot's gut healing powders). They also all take a spoonful of fermented cod liver oil with raw honey each morning.
Dinner: Shepherd's pie with leftover mashed potatoes and veggies
Wednesday
Breakfast: GF Pancakes
Dinner: Beef Pot roast, mexican style with beans, veggies, and raw cheese
Thursday
Breakfast: Oats with berries and nuts, Smoothies
Dinner: Stuffed acorn squash with rice,onions, veggies, and turkey sausage
Friday
Breakfast: Teff Skillet Bread
Dinner: Homemade pizza night (GF crust, no cheese for Eliot)
Saturday
Breakfast: Apple Spice muffins and Potato skillet
Dinner: Chicken and broccoli over brown rice pasta
Sunday
Breakfast: Leftover muffins, fruit
Dinner: Mommy mcNuggets (Big pieces of chicken rolled in olive oil, grainy mustard, and crushed nuts), green salad, green beans
Oh, I don't put in the lunch menu because pretty much every day we eat leftovers from the night before. If not, I'll smear some organic peanut butter and agave nectar on a brown rice tortilla with carrot sticks and an apple and we call it good! :)

What a fun menu! :) Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I wish I could buy the cheap sorghum flour, but that particular brand you mentioned (on my blog) is ground on a wheat mill (which makes it no longer gluten free.) sad.
Thanks, though! :)
Blessings,

It all sounds so yummy! I made the skillet dish last night that you cooked for us when we were at your house and my family LOVED IT! So, needless to say, I will now be copying/stealing/replicating more and more of your recipes!!!
Marcia, anytime! I need to post more recipes on here, but every time I'm here, my recipes are downstairs and I don't take the time to get them! :) But, that skillet one is pretty easy...throw in a bunch of leftovers with cabbage or potato and you're good to go! :)
