Last Week: Dinner Menu

On Saturday of last weekend, I decided to pull together all of the recipes I wanted to try the following week. I got my dinner menu sorted out and then made my grocery list based on that. It has been a little more expensive the last few weeks, because I'm trying to stock my cupboards with all the clean essentials, but once I have what I need for most recipes all I need to buy is the main ingredients. Here is my menu from last week (all recipes are clean unless otherwise stated):

Monday
Tandoori Chicken recipe
Brown rice
Asian ginger sesame asparagus
I also made chocolate chip cookies, they didn't turn out the greatest because I have a cheap food processor and it didn't want to blend the ingredients very well. It tasted good just huge chunks of almonds inside.

Clean chocolate chip cookies

Tuesday
Fish and Chips (homemade multigrain breading, and sweet potato chips) recipe
Salad-my basic salad is always romaine, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, goat cheese or grate Parmesan (fresh from the deli section because the Kraft type is not clean) and homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing

 Wednesday
Chile Chicken Tortillas recipe
Avocado sour cream (this was yummy!)


Thursday
This is leftover night because Mike isn't home Thursdays. I either have leftovers or I make a meal size salad and add in some chicken.

Friday
Alfredo sauce recipe (this sauce was AMAZING!)
Brown rice pasta
Salad

Saturday
Pizza (with whole wheat crust)-this is the only thing that was not clean. I could not find an ingredient to make the dough so I had to settle for just using whole wheat crust. It didn't have preservatives but it did have sugar.
Lots of veggies for toppings
Salad

Slow Cooker Sunday
Beef stew recipe
I substituted the bison in this recipe with lean beef.
