Week 1

I need to plan out a week's worth of dinners. I do this to organize the groceries, to have healthy dinners, and because my husband does the cooking, so I do the planning. I have spent many hours surfing around other people's blogs looking for weekly meal plans, or even just interesting meals. Then I put together my own list and my family is set for the week. Except for the inevitable ingredient I forget/the store ran out. As I was making my list last week I realized that I really should post my own menu for the other moms like me, trying desperately to cull together a week of dishes that the family would not object to too much. Any one source would inevitably contain a meal that just would not work for us.
My plan is to post the weekly menu in one post and then the individual recipes in subsequent posts. I will endeavor to link to the source of each recipe when I can. I will also try to give a review of each meal.
 Disclaimer - I only started eating "primal" about 7 weeks ago. What we eat is not 100% primal. The kids are still eating some grains while I personally opt for non-grain substitutions. In light of getting the kids on board, I am attempting to make at least one "treat" each week as well.

So here is week 1:

Saturday – Fish sticks, carrot sticks, baby tomatoes, sweet pepper strips

Sunday – cauliflower rice + Pork chops + Applesauce

Monday – Rat on a stick + salad + bacon apple slaw

Tuesday – spaghetti with zucchini noodles

Wednesday – tacos, soft tortillas for the kids, salad for the adults

Thursday – Hissin chicken + Sweet potato fries

Friday – pizza/leftovers

Treat – Gluten free gingerbread and chocolate chip cookies found on the bakery clearance rack
