Anyhoo - today's eats!
Breakfast:
Didn't have anything planned from the night before, so we decided to defrost some bacon and just have some with eggs. Elf Man cooked this morning, was great! Eggs were really nice and fluffy.
Morning tea:
I was out shopping until after 11am so I had a banana when I got back home. Got lots of paleo treats at the shops, Woolworths stock some really good ones now, bars made from dates, nuts and cacao with nothing else added! Fanbloodytastic.
Lunch:
Salad with beef strips. Spinach, lettuce, grated carrot, black grapes and cashews.
Afternoon tea:
Paleo banana bread from HERE
I didn't quite cook it long enough, even though my tester skewer came out clean and I poked it about a dozen times! And it got stuck in the bottom of my pan so next time I'm using baking paper. It was definitely one of the nicer baking goods made with coconut flour (which has a texture that I'm not really all that fond of!) All the kids ate some too.
Dinner:
I found some grassfed beef mince at Aldi today - wasn't overly expensive (around $8 for 800g) so I got that and made cheeseburgers for the kids, and rissole type things for us. Served it with vegies and some organic dijon. (I added a grated carrot, garlic powder and onion powder to the mince before making into patties).
This is what the kids dinner looked like:
I've noticed that there is a definite difference between grass fed meat and grain fed meat - the smell of the raw meat!! At first I thought it was a bit off because it smelled a bit funny, but then we worked out it was because it was grass fed meat. The 2kg of grass fed sirloin I got the other day was the same as well. It just smells more.. meaty - funnily enough LOL
Dessert:
Leftover fruity dream from last night.
Supper:
One of the bars I found at Woolies and a cup of tea.
I'm also attempting to make my own coconut yoghurt tonight, so we will see in the morning how it turns out. This is made with my own homemade coconut milk based on the recipe in this post HERE and the coconut yoghurt made from this recipe HERE. Hopefully it works because I really like coconut yoghurt but at $9.40 for 400ml its slightly out of reach of our budget!
Speaking of food costs - I spent about $300 all up this week, which isn't too bad (including stuff around the house too) - however because I stocked up on meat in the first week, I'm using a bit of chicken from our stock pile, so I only had to buy two lots of meat this week instead of lots of meat. Will see how we go next week!
