Week #2 Menu

I am starting my second week of Whole30.  So far I am feeling great!  I definitely feel more comfortable in my cooking and am branching out a little on my dinner recipes.  Mentally, I was dreading a second Whole30.  Now that I am doing it, I am so glad!!!!! 

Enough about me...This week's menu:

Breakfast: I am sticking with the Buffalo Chicken Breakfast Casserole...why?  Because I LOVED it so much.  And, it was really great being able to grab a baggie and head out each morning versus fixing eggs, cleaning afterwards, etc.  And, this way, I can eat a little later in the morning.  I heat up my baggie once I am at school.  Recipe is here: http://livinglovingpaleo.com/2016/04/29/buffalo-chicken-breakfast-casserole/

Lunch: Okay, truly, I am a creature of habit...I am sticking with the Chicken Salad this week.  It is my favorite lunch.  It's easy to make, and it is convenient to grab my container in the morning.  As long as I love what I eat, I can eat the same thing every.single.day!  Recipe here: http://maryellenswhole30quest.blogspot.com/2016/04/blog-post_18.html 

Dinner:

Monday: Ginger Chicken and Butternut Squash

Butternut Squash will be over roasted.  I have never had Butternut Squash, so this is new for me!
