Second Half of April Meal Plan

Breakfast


Breakfast will be easy- crock pot style.  These recipes came off a great site: http://draxe.com/crockpot-breakfast/




Greek Eggs Crockpot breakfast casserole (Mon, Tues each week)
"These Greek-style eggs are easy to whip up for a brunch crowd or to eat throughout the week solo. And with the nutritional benefits of mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, spinach and feta cheese, they’re super-healthy, too."

Banana Coconut Milk Oatmeal (Wed, Thurs, Friday each week)
"Wake up to a hearty, fiber-rich crockpot breakfast that’s got a ton of staying power with this delicious recipe. Heart-healthy coconut milk, omega-3 packed flaxseed and energy-boosting bananas cook overnight so you can wake up to a meal that’ll keep you full through the morning. This is a great recipe to use overripe bananas for; save the banana bread for another time."

Slow cooker sticky pecan buns (weekend treats first weekend)
"Luckily, you can make your own bakery-quality sticky pecan buns using real ingredients right at home!"

Slow cooker banana bread oatmeal (weekend treat second weekend)
'There’s nothing better than waking up to a ready-made breakfast — especially when it takes just a minute or two to prepare. Enjoy the taste of banana bread in a nutritious oatmeal. Skip the brown sugar and top with maple syrup instead."

Lunches


Lunches will be easy!  My crockpots will go to good use!  Taken from http://draxe.com/healthy-crock-pot-recipes/


Chipotle black bean and quinoa crock pot stew (first week)
"Naturally vegan and gluten-free, this stew uses dried beans and quinoa for a protein-rich stew that comes together in a flash for a protein-rich supper that the whole family will enjoy. Note: The fresher your beans, the more quickly they’ll cook."

Slow cooker quinoa chicken kale soup (second week)
"Filling, delicious and good for you, this soup hits all the spots. Chicken, beans, kale and quinoa ensure you’ll be satiated for hours while keeping out of the kitchen."

Dinner
Creamy mushroom chicken wild rice (3 dinners)
"Because sometimes you crave the comforting taste of cream of mushroom chicken casserole, but would rather forgo the highly processed canned food recipe from of old.  Right? I know I do! In fact, my mom came up with this recipe on the fly because I had mentioned wanting something that combined comfort, creamy baked chicken with mushroom sauce, but left out nasty chemicals, relying on too many canned items (so easy to do when we’re busy!) and the complications of a super-duper gourmet recipe (fun but who has time for that on a week night?)."
