Whole 30, Week 3 – Menu

Sharing our menu from the past week once again, in a desire to demonstrate how a large family or those on a tight budget can eat predominately Primal/Paleo.  Once again a slightly incomplete list, relying on our pre-planned menu for records.  Be sure to read Angela’s Week 4 for another large family menu.
* Items on the menu which are not Whole 30 are in italic.  Mostly they have been eaten by the non-whole 30ers, not me. Potatoes remain on our menu as we find them difficult for a large family budget to eliminate.

Breakfasts

• Yoghurt and Fruit 
• Weetbix (children) & Walnut Granola
• Bacon and Eggs X 2 (PC loves fried tomato and leftover potato with his)
• Muffins & Banana Bread This time I made nut butter with my juicer. Excellent result
• Apple Fruinola  (Huge hit! Favourite)
• Grain Free Blueberry Banana Muffins

Lunches
Our Garden Salads slightly vary each time, they may include; lettuce, tomato, carrot, capsicum, cucumber, broccoli, green beans, mushroom, radish, baby spinach, red cabbage, white cabbage and red.

• Garden Salad and Silverside (baked)
• Fruit Salad (Big Hit)
• Zucchini Bake & Garden Salad
• Carrot/Beetroot/corn/tomato Frittata & Garden Salad 
• Tuna Salad with Garden Salad
• Coconut Pancakes (horrid) & Boiled Eggs

Dinners

• BBQ; Sausages, Lamb Chops, Mashed Potato, Mashed Pumpkin and Broccoli
• Grilled Chicken Thighs, Mashed Potato, Mashed Pumpkin and Broccoli (Big Hit!)
• Chips (fast food)
• Sizzling Garlic Beef with Broccolini and Rice (teens and I abstained from rice) Need to find substitute for cornflour
• Tuna Mornay (rice for the rule breakers;) Didn’t thicken well with coconut flour:(  More research needed.
• Lamb Roast and Baked Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes and Peas
• Potato Bake, Roasted Bacon Brussel Sprouts & Zucchini, & Baked Eggplant.  (Only the zucchini got the thumbs up) 

Snacks
We bought boxes of fruit, although the Whole 30’s emphasis is on vegetables not fruit.

• Bananas
• Peaches
• Almonds, Sultanas
• Double Choc Muffins (Grain free) x 2. Absolutely Delis the first time!! Moist and fluffy, a bit dry the second time, I didn’t measure preciously.
• Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies (didn’t pin so can’t direct, sorry, but they were horrid anyway.  I overdid the bi-carb.  an 1/8 tsp means precisely that)
