It has been a long time so instead of listing my meal plan this week I thought I would just try to list a few new recipes that I have tried in the past several months. You can assume all of them were good...not going to list the failed ones.
Shepard/Cottage Pie I ommitted the egg and cream cheese. I used ghee instead of butter and put cheese on only 1/2 of it. Huge hit with the whole family.
Not So Boring Chicken Stir Fry I followed this recipe pretty loosely
Smoked Roasted Rack of Lamb with Garlic and Rosemary Rub Brian actually did this one himself and if you like Lamb then you will love this rub.
Egg Free, Tomato Free (Hidden Liver) Paleo Meatloaf
Cranberry Spiked Sausage Balls I left out the eggs
Masala Cauli-Fried Rice This is so so good. I added meat both time that I made this. Such a delicious meal.
Shawarma Salad This is another absolutely delicious meal with so much flavor.

Meal Plan
Caramalized Broth Brisket with beef jam and green
beans (cooked with garlic and chicken broth). I actually made this
tonight and it was soooo delicious.
Roasted Whole Chicken with salad and roasted asparagus
Pork Chops with mashed garlic cauliflower and cabbage
Salmon Cakes with broccoli and roasted sweet potatos and onions

New Recipes
We have had a busy and fun summer which means little blogging. Here are some things that I have been cooking.
Sweet and Tart Rhubarb and Berry Dessert Sauce
Brian and I ate this atop plain whole milk yogurt with a bit of honey.
Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble
It calls for a total of two cups of honey (or maple syrup) but I used a total of about 1/2 cup because I ran out. I also subbed half the strawberries for blueberries. This page has a lot of other rhubarb recipes so you will have to scroll down to find the crumble.
Stuffed Pizza Peppers/Mushrooms
I got this idea from some friends who made them for us one night. I stuffed red, green, orange and yellow peppers along with a few portabellos with ground Italian sausage and ground beef mixed with tomato paste, tomato sauce and some Italian spices. I topped some of them with cheese and left some of them plain. They were delish!
Homemade Coconut Milk
This was really easy to make and tasted good. I felt very domestic while I was making it until I broke my blender.
Primal Stuffed Eggplant
Brian asked me to put some variety in the veggies that I make so I bought some eggplants. This was actually a tasty meal but will probably not be a staple around our house because eggplant is not a favorite.
Chili Sweet Potato Fries
YUM! This was such a great meal. You should go make it this week.
I've also been making egg less salmon patties weekly. I just mix canned salmon with either a mashed sweet potato or mashed avocado and fry in coconut oil. They turn out great and the whole family loves them.

Recipes
It has been a while since I listed my meal plan so I thought I would just do a quick round up of what I have been cooking...if I can remember everything that is.
Marina's Primal Zuppa Toscana Soup - this was a paleo version of the Olive Garden Soup. I used sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes. The recipe says the bacon is optional but...really? really, is it? I think not. Great soup. I will make it again.
Paleo Buffalo Chicken Nuggets - Big Success
Kale and Egg Bake- I got inspiration for this recipe from a blog that I found called Primal Green. Here is the link to the recipe. I actually just sauteed some kale with garlic for a few minutes then transferred it to a baking dish. I topped it with chopped cherry tomatoes and avocados. Lastly, I cracked some eggs on top and baked it until the eggs were done. I ate it along with my girls and it was a hit!
BBQ Crockpot Chicken- I also mixed in some Dijon mustard and diced tomatoes. YUM
BBQ Beef Brisket- This was AH-MAZE-ING. Go right now to your local farmer and buy a grassfed beef brisket and make this. You will not be disappointed.
Iced Vanilla Bean Latte - I made this when I needed a little pick me up one afternoon and it did the trick.
Almond Banana Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins - Yes, it does have a long name because I had to sub a few things due to not using eggs, reducing carbs, and adding pumpkin. Here is the original recipe before I changed everything around.

Sweet Potato Jalepeno Chowder (my friend gave me this recipe)
Pumpkin Cocoa Chili
Beef Taco Salad with Avocado Dressing (this is on pinterest and I made it yesterday with our fish tacos...soooo good! I subbed coconut milk instead of yogurt).
I made truffles this weekend too. I sort of used this recipe:
http://lowcarboneday.com/2012/
I had to add some honey & coconut milk because the chocolate I had was not sweetened at all. They were a delicious treat and definitely confirmed that I still have little to no self control with chocolate. That is why I don't keep it in the house.
I also made some muffins for the kids that they actually liked. I kind of used this recipe

Meal Plan
Fish Tacos (from last week)
Steak with Kale and Onions (from last week)
Almond Chicken Soup with Sweet Potato, Collards and Ginger
Hamburgers (made double last week and froze the extras) with salad and carrot fries
Sweet Potato Soup- I will sub. full fat coconut milk for the regular and chicken broth instead of veggie.
Hot Wings with Mashed Cauliflower and Salad
Here are a few other recipes that we tried this week:
Sausage and Butternut Breakfast Hash
Brian actually cooked this one up on Saturday morning while I was getting ready. He really likes opportunities to cook so I have been trying to hand over the spatula to him a little more lately. This was so yummy. Everyone in the house ate it up (only after one melt down about not wanting it from one child). It will definitely go in the rotation for breakfast foods.
Meatza (like pizza)- Admittedly, this sounds disgusting but it was great. The recipe calls for an egg but I replaced that with a half of a small sweet potato. The toppings I used were arugula, shaved brussels sprouts, spinach, mushrooms and cut up chicken bratwurst. Next time I will leave out the meat topping.
Butternut Squash Fries
Paleo Chocolate Chip Scones I really wanted to make some baked goods for my family so I decided on starting with this recipe. I subbed refined coconut oil (has less of a coconut flavor than extra virgin coconut oil) for the vegan shortening (whatever that is). I also subbed 2 bananas for the eggs. These two subs worked out fine...just had to bake the scones for about 20 minutes longer than the recipe called for. Here is where everything went wrong. Since going Paleo I haven't really researched what kind of chocolate I should buy so I panicked a the grocery and bought unsweetened Bakers chocolate. BAD IDEA. This stuff is super bitter because it is straight up chocolate...no sugar, not milk, nothing. Shredding it may have worked better but the big chunks were not good. Telia took one bite, spit it out and started licking her sleeve to remove the flavor. Next time I will not use that chocolate.

Recipes and 3 to the 4
It is kind of strange that today I am 34 years old. I feel older and yet like I am still 18 years old all at the same time. It has been a great day full of friends and family, good food, spa time and coffee.
I have been on a new eating adventure (as I like to call it) for about 12 days now called Paleo. I signed up to do a 30 day challenge on the Wellness Mama Blog. This is a great website with lots of information if you are interested in reading more. Basically, I am grain, dairy, processed foods, legumes, refined sugar and processed oils free (on top of being egg free and peanut free due to Caius' allergies). I am adding more grass fed pature raised meats, nuts, delicious organic vegetables and fruits to my diet. I am cooking with coconut oil and sometimes bacon grease from quality bacon. I am snacking on blueberries, pumpkin seeds and larabars. I am drinking water, some coffee and kombucha. I am feeling great and excited about these changes and the new healthy foods my family is eating. Here are some of the recipes I have already tried and approve:
To start off, tonight we made some desserts for my birthday and they were delicious!
Chocolate Chip Cookies (grain, egg, and dairy free)
Vegan Chocolate Fudge Brownies
along with Banana "Ice Cream"--simply take some frozen bananas, cinnamon, vanilla extract and coconut milk and blend it all together!
Here are some yummy dinners I have made
Smoked Salmon, Avocado and Arugula Salad
Sweet Potato Shepherds Pie
Brussel Sprouts, Bacon, Avocado and Lime
Bacon Beef Butternut Squash
Creamy Curried Cauliflower Soup
A few sides
Roasted Sweet Potato and Apple Mash
Roasted Carrot Whip

Meal Plan
Okay, here is what is cookin this week here in So. Ind. I am trying to use what I already have as much as possible. I'm also trying to add more vegetarian options to be healthy and to save money.
Sunday Crockpot Meatloaf (sort of following these directions ) with carrots, broccoli and wild rice.
Monday Cobb Salad with Chicken Bacon, Avocado and Veggies (thanks to my friend Tessa for the inspiration). I will probably check out Smitten Kitchen's Cobb Salad too. I have had it saved for a long time but never used it. We won't be adding the eggs, sadly, because of Brian's allergy and because I am staying away from them right now too.
Tuesday Grilled Cheese/PB&J and Tomato Soup (Community Group night so we need to keep it simple)
Wednesday Vegetarian Tortilla Soup with Tortilla Chips (thanks for the heads up on this Laura)
Thursday Taco Salad with Ground Beef
Friday Grilled Salmon with Baked or Grilled Sweet Potatos and Apples
Saturday Kale and Goat Cheese Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms with Whatever Veggies are on Sale this Week
Sunday Pumpkin Pasta with Kale
I'm looking at this meal plan and not sure that it will pan out. I will try and whatever I don't make will go on the next weeks plan.

Meal Plan...Last Week
I actually made a meal plan this past week and mostly stuck to it. We were fortunate to get some very tasty heirloom tomatoes from Brian's parents and we also hit up the Bowling Green farmers market. I am starting to trade meal plans with a couple of friends for inspiration and accountability so hopefully I will post here more often.

cabbage and sausage with honey roasted sweet potatoes ( http://www.foodnetwork.com/

and roasted veggies (zucchini, tomato's, peppers and garlic). This seems like a lot but it was basically leftover stuff from the farmers market that I threw together. Brian loved the honey/olive oil/lemon mixture I put on the sweet potatoes.
We also made these the other day: Garlic Grilled Tomatoes

New Recipes
Thanks to Pinterest I have found tons of new recipes to try and I am loving it. Here are a few:
Bacon Guac Grilled Cheese Sandwich I used this recipe more as inspiration and didn't follow it exactly. I just made a bacon, avocado, grilled cheese sandwich for breakfast on Saturday and it was delish! We will be having that one again for sure.
Avocado Chicken Salad Again, I didn't follow this exactly but I think it would've tasted better if I had. I regret not having cilantro and not using grilled shredded chicken (I used canned chicken). I will try it again though.
Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie This was so good! Make it today and you will not regret it.
Creamy White Bean and Apple Chili This was actually really good and the whole family liked it. I was surprised because there was no meat in it but the flavors were great. Next time I will use less onions.
Spaghetti Squash Gratin with Chorizo and Kale Another great recipe that I would make again with WAY less onions. Even Brian, who likes onions, thought they were overpowering. The recipe is vegetarian too but I added real chorizo not soy chorizo and it was great.
Slow Cooker Black Bean Enchiladas This recipe wasn't a big hit in the house. The consistency was kind of mushy and it came out too spicy for the girls. We probably won't make it again but it was fun to try.
Crockpot Pizza Soup Don't judge this before you check it out. I made it for our family and my parents and everyone really liked it. I left out the bell pepper and onions. We all really liked it and it didn't even give this pregnant Mama indigestion.
