I've noticed I'm already over my grocery budget for this month, so I'm going to try to eat out of my freezer/fridge/pantry for the next 2 weeks. Double-challenge! We'll see how far I get, but I should be a-OK.
Off the top of my head, I've got:
- 12 of those snack-bags of nuts/coconut/strawberries
- A red cabbage, duck fat, onions and vinegar, so I may need to pick up an apple to make
this braised cabbage dish.
- 2 buffalo burgers
- 3 turkey burgers
- 5 or 6 beef burgers (may use 2 or 3 to make a lighter-meat version of
this)
- big bag of onions
- 5-lbs of russets
- 6-8 chicken thighs
- 10 or so chicken tenderloins (big)
- BIG bag of riced cauliflower (3lbs!!)
- 6 eggs
- 12oz pork belly
- 4 chicken sausages (compliant)
- bag of frozen cherries (I eat them after dinner, so good!)
- full bag of coconut chips for additional snacking
- nutpods & coffee (enough for another 1.5 weeks, going to save it for pre-workout coffee, on days I don't work out I'll wait and have it at work on their dime)
- condiments: hot sauce, coconut aminos, whole30 mayo, whole30 garlic aioli, ginger, garlic, green goddess dressing, ghee, coconut oil, mushroom salt, bunch of other seasonings
So meal planning off the top of my head,
This week:
Lunches Thur-Fri: korean beef with cauliflower rice (heavy on cauli rice) + nut snack bags for late snacks if needed
Dinners Wed-Fri: buffalo/turkey burger with garlic mashed cauliflower (just using the riced cauli, garlic aoili for creaminess, a little ghee, salt and pepper) + frozen cherries
Breakfast Sat-Sun: soft-scrambled eggs (2) with chicken sausage
Lunches Sat-Sun: chicken tenderloins with caramelized onions and cauli mash + nut snack bags for late snacks if needed
Dinners Sat-Sun: Braised cabbage with pork belly, need to find an apple!
Next week:
Lunches Mon-Thur: russets diced, seasoned and roasted in duck fat with bunless burger + nut snack bags for late snacks if needed
Dinners Mon-Thur: chicken thighs pan-fried in ghee with cauli mash (maybe more caramelized onions? I have...so many onions...)
