MENU PLAN September Week 3
I am getting ready to take a much needed vacation. For the past week , I have been stockpiling healthy snacks to take with me. Planning is such an important part of being a Diva. Once you start eating healthy, whole foods, your body actually starts to crave them. Unfortunately, we don’t always have access to real food, unless we organize our life so that we do have healthful foods available at all times. I have a suitcase full of nut butter, brown rice cakes, fruit, trail mix, Lara bars and PCOS Diva Power Protein to name a few of my healthy rations. Next time a vacation or get-away takes you out of your routine, think about how you can set yourself up for success while away from home.
MEATLESS MONDAY Hearty Kale, Bean and Zucchini Soup Serve with Bob’s Redmill Gluten-free cornbread and some mixed greens.
TUESDAY Mashed Sweet Potatoes, Pork Chop with Cider Gravy and Sauteed Apples and Onions Add a green veggie to complete the meal.
WEDNESDAY Autumn Chicken Stew Serve with a side of apple slaw
THURSDAY Peppers Stuffed with Quinoa, Spinach and Feta Cheese
FRIDAY Steaks with Tuscan Style Cannellini Salad Add a mixed salad.
Oh my goodness. This menu looks awesome. Thank you for posting it!
Hi Amy,
I am curious about where you buy meat, poultry and seafood. Do you patronize a local farm where the animals are grass fed? What about seafood? Thanks,
Marie
I am new to PCOS and curious if it is okay to have butter with things. If not could you recommend a good alternative?
Alison- I am a big fan of grass-fed organic butter. It is a great source of CLA fatty acid and a fat that holds up well to heat. I also like Virgin Coconut oil.
Hello,
I’m new to your site (and its AWESOME by the way!) and am curious why you don’t include Saturdays and Sundays in your menu plan??
Thank you!
Because most people don’t cook 7 days a week. They eat leftovers, quick meals or go out. Glad you are enjoying my site!
