2019 Meal Plans

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

These are some of our most recent meal plans after converting some of our favorite recipes to be healthier with inspiration from Trim Healthy Mama. I find it easier to plan out my meals so I can make fewer trips to the grocery store. I always hate it when it’s almost dinner time and I have no idea what I should make. A little planning goes a long way to help me keep my sanity… well what’s left of it that is.

I also find it easier to go ahead and plan a day or time to prep some of the items ahead of time instead of waiting until the last minute. I will boil eggs, cook chicken and ground beef, prep veggies and all ahead of time so that when it comes time to make dinner it seems to go so much easier.

When I have time I also try to make a couple of extra batches of our favorites so I can put some in the freezer for emergency or quick meals. I’ll try to include some tips and tricks along with the menu plans to make your life a little easier too.

Meal Plan: May 26 – June 1, 2019

Sensible Scrambled Eggs

I love eggs whether it be fried, boiled, deviled, egg salad, omelets, or even a scrambled egg sandwich. They are so easy to make and so good for you. Here is a quick and healthier version of the scrambled eggs that we eat on a regular basis.

I just made a couple of sandwiches for Mr. Awesome and myself yesterday when we were feeling a bit hangry in between meals and they certainly hit the spot. These would also be really good for a quick breakfast with some sausage or bacon and a side of Super Simple Sauteed Spinach. Continue reading “Sensible Scrambled Eggs” →

Super Yummy Caulitaters

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog24 Comments

When Mr. Awesome made the decision to give up some of his favorite foods I knew I had to get creative with some alternatives to the potato dishes that we eat so frequently. I had tried to make some ‘fake taters’ before without success but this time we finally had a winner.

This version is close to what they have in the Trim Healthy Mama books but may not be entirely on the plan as I have added a few extra ingredients which takes them to a whole nother level! If your crew isn’t entirely sold on the idea of cauliflower taters then try using half potatoes and half cauliflower, to begin with. These are really good on top of Shepherd’s Pie in a Skillet as well! (You can sneak some extra veggies and/or spinach into that recipe as well!) Continue reading “Super Yummy Caulitaters” →

When you HAVE TO BE your own doctor, now what?

Bridget Danner was a member of Greenpeace and writing letters (you remember, letters?!) to cosmetics companies before she could drive.

As a kid, she was upset by environmental toxins, both mentally and physically — they’re the reason she took to a career in natural medicine. And, a few years ago, she got really sick from toxic mold. So, she had to dig deep into her wisdom and find a way to heal without completely exhausting her family’s finances.

With patience and perseverance, she learned that smart, day-to-day choices actually work. Now, she’s here to share that wisdom with you at The DIY Detox Summit!

When Bridgit got sick, she experienced insomnia, muscle twitching, poor memory and even had suicidal thoughts. Although an acupuncturist and functional health coach, she couldn’t solve the problem… Continue reading “When you HAVE TO BE your own doctor, now what?” →

With children averaging 7 hours/day of screen use and checking their phone 85 times/day… they’re addicted.
