Meal Planning

Welcome back everyone to my clean eating meal plan. If you are just joining us at Little Family Adventure, welcome to my site. Every week I publish my meal plan for my family. It is filled with clean eating, healthy recipes and meal ideas.

Clean Eating Meal Plan Week 12 - Light and healthy summer fare for the weekdays and family classics for the weekend. #recipe

Many of the recipes I include are my own, but others come from friends and other food sites on the web. This week, I’m making salads and lighter fare during the week. We are in the middle of an early May heat wave. It’s been in the 90’s all weekend and the forecast is more of the same. I’ve been doing a light happy dance for this warmer weather. I’m so, so happy to say

good-bye

to the winter of 2013-2014 that just wouldn’t end. How do you feel about summer? This week’s meal plan is full of fresh veggies and fruit. To help me save time in the kitchen, I’ve prepped many of my veggies over the weekend. Half of the carrots are sliced into sticks, cucumbers are sliced, broccoli is cut into florets, cabbage is shredded, etc. Here are a few others ways to save time in the kitchen.

Save Time in the Kitchen - meal planning, prep ahead, make once for multiple meals On Sunday, I prepped several cold salads and put them in the fridge. Salads like the Veggie Crunch, Mom’s Potato Salad, and Russian Salad are great make ahead dishes. They get better the longer they marinate. This will help me prevent the house from heating up too much during the week.

Summer Cooking

When it’s hot outside, I don’t do a lot of cooking indoors. The stove and oven can really heat up my kitchen and in the summer months when it’s in the 90’s and 100’s, who really wants that? I like to fire up the grill to cook outside or make cold salads for our meals. It’s a great way to eat fresh vegetables and  not give my paycheck to the electric company every month from May thru September.

How do you like to eat during the summer months?

This week, we don’t have any big plans. So I’m planning to cook all our meals.  You’ll find many quick and easy meals for the weekdays and some family favorites for the weekend. The Roasted Chicken in a clay pot is one of my favorites. It’s one of those fix it and forget it type of meals. Just set your timer or meat thermometer so you’ll be alerted when it’s done. Here’s this week’s clean eating meal plan. I hope you enjoy it.
