a week of meals



Somehow we got through most of this. One mishap - Brett thought I meant ground sirloin so we had burgers instead of beef and broccoli. Below is the recipe for the healthy brownies, they really are quite good! Just don't overcook.

Brett is out of town this week, so I am going to try to munch my way through any leftovers and not shop for much other than some fruit and veg for snacks. Here is my single gal meal plan for the week:

Monday: making the STUFFED PEPPERS I meant to make last week.
Tuesday: leftover pepper before jewelry class
Wednesday: ROASTED ACORN SQUASH with CINNAMON, CUMIN and maybe a few RAISINS
Thursday: EGG WHITE OMELET with CAPERS, TOMATOES, OLIVES and SPROUTED BREAD TOAST
Friday: FISH TACOS

BROWNIES

1/3 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup cocoa powder
6 eggs
1/2 cup stevia for baking (I used Truvia)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup coconut flour, sifted
1 cup chopped walnuts

In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil and blend in cocoa powder. Set aside to cool. In another bowl, blend together the eggs, stevia, salt and vanilla. Stir in cocoa mixture. Whisk in coconut flour and then fold in nuts. Spread in a greased 8"x8" pan and bake 30-35 minutes.

Hey Tera - All of your dinners sound delicious.. Is there a really simple one that you love? One of my weeknight faves is chicken sausage and kale soup. I actually make it with spinach. It is so yummy and pretty healthy. I can email it to you!!

I'd love the recipe! An easy and delicious chicken tortilla soup is a fave of mine. Sauté onion and peppers for a few mintues and then add to a pot of chicken stock. Shred a rotisserie chicken and add that, along with a bag of frozen corn, a can of diced tomatoes and a bunch of chopped cilantro. Heat through and serve with avocado, cheese, crushed chips, etc. You can also add some rice if you like.

Along that same note, I never buy tortilla chips anymore. I use either soft corn or flour tortillas, cut them in wedges, spray them with a bit of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and bake at a 425 for 10 minutes or so. They are so much better than store bought chips, especially with guac or hummus.
