Weekly Meal Planner – Whole 30 Inspired
Check Out My Whole 30 Inspired Menu For The Week. No Lack Of Flavor, Just Happy Tummies!
As I mentioned the other day, I had a recent diet discovery (original post HERE)! A Food Sensitivity Test impulse buy, and a few drops of blood sent to the lab later, and I discovered I actually have food sensitivities to a lot of the “healthy” foods I eat every day!
My recent discovery, paired with a 30 day elimination diet, has inspired this week’s menu! So, here we have a Whole 30 Inspired Menu with full grocery list. Enjoy!
Whole 30 Inspired Menu
The Menu
Monday: Mexican Stuffed Potatoes – These are one of my favorite Whole 30 Friendly suppers. A few notes on this one:
*I use THIS RECIPE for shredded chicken except, in this case, I replace the water with a can of diced tomatoes w/ green chiles. Combine the whole can of tomatoes & diced green chiles, taco seasoning, and 2 chicken breasts in the crock pot on low for 3 hours (unless you have an instant pot, then follow her recipe!). Shred and use to top the sweet potatoes.
*I wash, poke, and microwave my sweet potatoes. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
*I omitted the “avocado sauce” and only made guac. I use only avocados, lime juice, salt & pepper for my guac. Those ingredients are reflected in the grocery list.
*For garnishes, I used Salsa & Jalapenos which are reflected in the grocery list.
Tuesday: Cauliflower Tacos – I actually made these cauliflower tortillas and they’re surprisingly easy! I used them for tacos, just like any taco night. My taco fillings were ground turkey with taco seasoning, diced tomatoes, and guacamole. Those specific ingredients are reflected in the grocery list, but feel free to swap them out!
*Note- I included eggs for the tortillas in the grocery list. However, for my food sensitivities, I ended up using “flax eggs”. If you don’t have a sensitivity to eggs, make them just like the recipe!
Wednesday: Spaghetti Squash with Meat-Sauce – This is quite delicious. It’s got all of the flavorings of a pasta dish, but without the heavy pasta!
*Note- I used 1 lb of ground beef for this which is reflected in the grocery list. Also, I garnished with fresh basil, which is in the grocery list as well.
Thursday: Bolognese Over Sweet Potato Noodles – I love a good meat sauce that simmers low and slow for a long time. This is a wonderful and clean recipe! Feel free to use regular noodles if you don’t want to use spiralized sweet potatoes!
*Note- I omitted the dried porcini and portobella mushrooms because I’m not a big fan. That’s reflected in the grocery list.
Friday: Chicken Fajita Sweet Potato Skins – Again, another fan fave! This is so healthy and so easy, I need to make it more often! There’s a helpful video that shows how to make this happen.
*Notes- I used THIS chicken recipe to make the shredded chicken. Then I mixed it with the roasted veg and fajita seasonings. Also, I omitted the mozzarella cheese because I’m doing dairy free and also, who puts mozzarella on fajitas?
Saturday: Maple Glazed Salmon with Brown Rice & Grilled Corn on the Cob – I need more fish in my life. Apparently I have ZERO reaction to meat, fish, and veggies. I guess that’s why people swear by the paleo diet. Salmon is one of those good-for-you and hearty fishes that never gets old! This is my favorite way to prepare it.
*Note- I swapped brown sugar for coconut sugar and it was JUST as delicious.
Sunday: Pork Carnita Bowls – These are DELICIOUS! I made them years ago when we did whole 30 and completely forgot about them. What an exciting reminder! Serve them on a bowl of bibb lettuce and top with guacamole and salsa. YUM! Those ingredients are reflected in the grocery list.
