Salmon with carrot, zucchini saute and steamed broccoli! |
I'm really enjoying reading your menus! Only a few people posted last week, but I was very late in putting the blog post up, so I'm hoping to get a better response this week!
Here's the menu:
Sunday - Out to Dinner
Monday - Red sauce with ground turkey, angel hair pasta, zucchini noodles*, roasted asparagus
Tuesday - Chicken stir fry with cabbage and asparagus, white rice
Wednesday - Seared salmon, roasted cauliflower and carrots, couscous
Thursday - Grilled chicken legs, roasted sweet potatoes/white potatoes, broccoli
Friday - Leftovers
Saturday - Shrimp scampi with lime, roast veggie medley, white rice
*I've mentioned the zucchini noodles before , but I wanted to explain exactly what we do around here to accommodate my husband and his Paleo ways. I make a pot of pasta for the kids, but I peel a zucchini or two (depending on the size) and I throw away the outside peel. Then, I keep using the peeler and make long, thin noodle like strips of zucchini and I blanch them quickly in the water after I take the pasta out. Now, this wouldn't work for a pure gluten-free diet since I'm re-using the water, but it's fine for us and I don't have to wait for the water to re-boil. I usually just drop them in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes and plate them. I think that they are delicious and I eat them every time rather than noodles now.
I am going to have to try the zucchini pasta!!!! That sounds delicious and even a great way to get the kids to eat zucchini!
