Ok, so who worked their meal plan last week? \u00a0I did, I did! \u00a0And I’m totally ready to kick this week’s ass and stick to a meal plan as well!<\/p>\n

I print off the meal plan (template I use is here<\/a>), fill it out and then stick it on the fridge. \u00a0I can add or switch around meals if I need to. \u00a0It’s very handy, plus I can make a shopping list right from the plan.<\/p>\n

I want to go back to having a shopping list on my phone. \u00a0I used to use Springpad but they have closed up shop (I can’t even link to them, because they are totally gone) so now I need something else. \u00a0Does anyone use an app to create and maintain shopping lists? \u00a0I would love to hear your recommendations!<\/p>\n

Alright, let’s get to the meals.<\/p>\n

BREAKFAST:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"roasted<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Leftover roasted potatoes with spinach and onions. \u00a0I sauteed everything up in a skillet with a little lard<\/a> and seasoned lightly with pepper, salt, and garlic powder.<\/p>\n

YUM! \u00a0Definitely became a favorite! This would work with sweet potatoes too if you don’t eat white potatoes.<\/p>\n

\"Kale,<\/a><\/p>\n

Braised\u00a0kale with roasted red pepper chicken sausage. \u00a0The sausage is Al Fresca brand and is delicious! Minimal ingredients, no gluten, and no additives. \u00a0In a pan, I heated up some lard and cooked the sausages first. \u00a0I removed those and added in the kale with a little stock to help the kale cook down. \u00a0Once the kale was wilted, I added the sausage back in. \u00a0Seasoned with a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder (I should just start calling this my house seasoning!). \u00a0It was delicious and totally hit the spot!<\/p>\n

\"Kale,<\/a><\/p>\n

I made a huge batch of it so that there would be leftovers for the next day. \u00a0I did use a full package of sausage and 2 large bunches of kale (stemmed, chopped). \u00a0This time I added a little parm on top for some tangy cheese bite.<\/p>\n

\"Sweet<\/a><\/p>\n

Cubed sweet potato with onion and shredded carrot cooked in a skillet in some ghee and seasoned with chili powder. \u00a0I also cut up some breakfast sausage and added that to the mix. \u00a0Sadly this breakfast was completely unsatisfying and I was so bummed. \u00a0The sweet potato was taking forever to cook through and even after 30 minutes, it still was crunchy. \u00a0Ugh. The texture was completely off and left me disappointed.<\/p>\n

\"Veggie<\/a><\/p>\n

I made a gorgeous veggie quiche with a grain free crust to chase the bad breakfast blues away. \u00a0The filling contained:<\/p>\n
