Week 2: Menu May 31

So we just completed our second week and we made some major mistakes! We failed to prep for this week which resulted in the meals taking a long time to make each day. Also, knowing what was facing us when we got home, we ate out several times. :( so lesson learned! This coming week's prep is already completed. 

Our meals this week: HERBED PORK TENDERLOIN with Braised leeks& wheat berries, SPICY SAUSAGE FISHERMAN STEW, PORK TENDERLOIN with CREAMY THYME SAUCE with Mashed taters & peas, CHICKEN SAUSAGES &SPRING STRAWBERRY SALAD, And SWEET POTATO HASH 

BREAKFAST SKILLET.

So we made some slight changes due to allergies and the what not. First, all the chicken sausages had cheese, so we bought turkey. Next, due to my nervousness regarding cooking fish and the costly ness of it, we had Spicy Sausage CHICKEN stew. And finally, we ate left over for dinner because we were out of the house a lot around lunch...so we did not have the sausages and salad. (We were waiting to buy the strawberries and lettuce fresh, so we didn't waste any foods his week. Charlotte and I have been enjoying turkey sausage with our oatmeal for breakfast. )

So, no favorites this week. But here are some highlights.

We had the breakfast but I was not a fan of this dish. It also bothered Samuel's tummy, so we are going to avoid egg recipes in the future. It doesn't bother him if I eat something with eggs in, but I think  egg hash was too much for him.

The herbed pork tenderloin was tasty. I liked leeks, but James did not care for their texture. We used brown rice instead of wheat berries (bc our store did not have them).

The creamy thyme sauce was wonderful. With the lack of cow's dairy in our house, I have been missing gravy and mashed potatoes. We used almond milk (original) to make this and we all enjoyed it.

The stew had the Swiss chard in it. It was delicious, but we froze the majority of because it is too hot for stew right now.  

Next week we will be making our own meatballs and turkey burgers! I am looking forward to it.

I lost 3 pounds and my husband lost 1 pound. We are so excited that our eating is helping us get healthier.
