Menu Plan Monday - January 11th




Welcome to another week of meals at The Working Home Keeper! 

A note about ingredients - Last year, our family made a switch to whole and nourishing foods. Most ingredients used in the making of these recipes are organic, organically-grown and/or natural (free from HFCS or preservatives).  Most of our meats come from local farms where the animals are raised humanely and fed a diet that is natural to them.  For cooking, I use traditional oils - olive oil, butter and organic, cold-pressed, extra virgin coconut oil. Local honey or organic sucanat is used in place of refined sugar.

This Week's Meals:

Breakfast:
Scrambled pastured eggs (local), pastured pork sausage (local) & sprouted, whole wheat toast
Soaked oatmeal (The Nourishing Gourmet)
Sprouted cereal
Homemade crockpot yogurt (with fruit, dried fruit and/or local honey)

Lunches:
Usually sandwiches or dinner leftovers

Dinner:
Minestrone Soup (The Prudent Homemaker) & sourdough bread

Lentil Chili & homemade cornbread (Tammy's Recipes)

The Man of the House cooks - Homemade Egg Rolls

Shepherd's Pie made with local, grass-fed & finished beef (Daily Diner)

Yellow Split Pea Dhal & Naan (Easy Indian in Minutes cookbook)


Salmon Patties with organic brown rice & steamed organic green peas

  2. Last year my family started focusing on eating whole foods and buying from local sources, and this year we're going to take it up a notch so I'm glad to have your blog as a resource. I'm also a big fan of "The Man of the House Cooks". I may have to see if I can sell that at my house :-)

    Your menus look fantastic - thank you for sharing.
