Today our family begins the 10 Day Pledge - a mini version of 100 Day of Real Food. I've worked hard over the weekend to create our menu and stock up on appropriate groceries. That being the case, our first couple of days should be a breeze! Of note, we will be eating less meat than normal simply because I haven't found any great deals on organic options. While shopping at Costco, I purchased
- Two whole fresh organic chickens - $22.63
- Three pounds fresh organic ground beef - $13.99
- 3.5 pounds fresh organic chicken breasts - $21.50
- Ouch!
Those won't all be consumed during these 10 days, but it's easy to see how meat could break our budget. While there's plenty of assurance this healthy eating can be done on a tight budget, I'm handicapped by being a newbie and not yet knowing all the best resources.
Monday Menu:
Breakfast:
- Homemade plain yogurt
- Maple syrup (for sweetener)
- Homemade granola (without the brown sugar)
- Frozen blueberries
Lunch:
- Apple
- Almond Butter
Snacks: (I'm used to eating lots of small meals, so my list can get long!)
- Banana
- String Cheese
- Almonds
- Milk
Dinner:

Love your day one plan. I came across this recipe to cook a whole chicken and I really like it. I wanted a better way of fixing the chicken for Puddin's food. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/succulent-roast-chicken/detail.aspx
I didn't use the spices because she can't have them but I loved how moist it was. I think it must have had something to do with starting it at a high heat and lowering the heat as it cooks. Even without all the spcies it tasted very good. Chicken tastes good so why cover it up. Just and idea.
YUM...sounds good....and healthy...I am sure the family really likes it.....
Tami, I checked out the chicken recipe and will try it next time. Much cheaper way of cooking it, too
