Meal Plan through Closing
We close on Wednesday next week so I made my meal plan through that day. It felt like a good place to put the break. In our transition to eating better, as I’ve been reading in Nourishing Traditions, I’ve broken down some steps to do in manageable ways. In some areas we already eat this way (real food, real fats rather than fake, eating seasonally to a large extent, and mostly whole foods). But there several areas we need to work on. Until we move and I can really focus on it more, I’m just tweaking a few basics we do:
making my pancakes with half whole-wheat flour and soaking it in buttermilk
sprouting my grains
eliminating sausage unti the day I can find some without nitrates or MSG
cutting back on sugar
We also are having a very tight week financially so I’m going to keep us to wild salmon (on sale and currently cheaper than most beef!) and bean protein this week. On the other side of this struggle is a good steak but not just yet
