This is my menu plan for the first week of the Whole 30. I have a calendar for the whole month ready to go but I figured I would give it to you a little at a time. I followed some basic guidelines when making the menu plan so it would be really easy. One meal a week is pasta (the family loves it, they don't feel like they are missing out while I'm doing Whole 30 and it is great for the boys lunches). One meal will be tacos. Because tacos. One meal will be soup because its January and I love soup and I especially love leftovers. At least one meal will be leftovers. Thursday night I have set aside for fish and baked potatoes. This is a place holder for more leftovers but if there aren't enough I have fish in my freezer and potatoes in the cabinet. At least one meal per week will be made in the crock pot.

For non dinner meals I eat a lot of leftovers, nuts, fruit, sliced turkey wrapped around guacomole with a sliced apple (for example), sweet potato hash, and of course lots of soup.

Without further ado, this weeks menu:

Monday: Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Sausage (from Against All Grain)
Tuesday: Beef Tacos (Inspired by these but without the corn. I do allow for some legumes. I will make three meals of the beef and freeze two of them. I will also shred and add carrots to the meat.)
Wednesday: Spaghetti and Meatballs (Family will have pasta and I will have spaghetti squash. The sauce and meatballs are homemade.)
Thursday: Roasted Salmon with Baked Potatoes and Broccoli (if necessary)
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Roasted Turkey with green beans and mashed sweet potatoes (Ukrainian Christmas)
Sunday: Mexican Turkey Soup (Adapted from Against All Grain)
