DH and I went grocery shopping this morning at the food co-op. I'm skipping going to the ranch this pay cycle, so I bought quite a bit more fish than usual, some rabbit, duck, sausage and a roast. I also stocked up on extra virgin olive oil, walnut oil, and lots of veggies. I spent $153 on groceryies.
Because I am leaning towards Paleo eating this week (which means no cheese for flavoring), I bought some more flavorful foods. Also no grains and no starches, except carrots one night. The only oils I will be using are E.V.O.O. and walnut oil. I am seriously going to miss butter, but I need to give this diet an honest test run.
Anyway here's the plan for the week:
Monday:
Rabbit fried in olive oil
Cole slaw
Bananas
Tuesday:
Pan-fried cod
Cole slaw
Oranges
Wednesday:
Oven baked salmon
Broccoli/cauliflower
Pineapple
Thursday:
Roast Duck
Salad
Oranges
Friday:
Pork chops
Pear sauce
Cole slaw
Saturday:
Baked Codfish with a homemade mayo garlic sauce
Cole slaw
Bananas
Sunday:
Beef chuck pot roast
Broccoli/cauliflower
Carrots
Oranges
It does feel weird not to inlude pasta, bread, rice, or potatoes. I'm sure I'll get used to it. Because of my just under the borderline test for diabetes I am only eating one fruit a day. I want to make sure my insulin levels stay under control so that I don't have to worry about one day having to take it artificially.
