[PRIMAL MEAL PLAN] for the week of 02AUG2015 primalmealplan

The Weekly Disclaimer:

-> Nothing is scaled. If a recipe calls for two chicken breasts, it will be making between 2-4 servings depending on how big the breasts are. If you want to make more servings than that, just add more protein. Usually there's enough sauce/side stuff to make more protein doable. If it's something like soup or chili, though, scale up some of the other ingredients potentially.

-> Read everything all the way through before you start. Some things require a day of marinade or you have to do things quickly in a certain order. Have everything ready ahead of time!

-> I gather these from all over the internet and from various cookbooks. I write a few of them, but most of them are things I've found elsewhere. If you want a source and it isn't included, let me know and I can probably find it for you.

-> These are all for your consideration. If you don't like something, don't make it! If you want to change a recipe, do it! All I ask is that if you do change something beyond like "I don't like spicy stuff so I left out the pepper", comment and let me know how it turned out. Did you use Pumpkin instead of Butternut? Let me know so I can put it in the recipe that it's a possible change!

-> Everything is more or less paleo, gluten free, and usually dairy free. Some recipes say coconut aminos, some say soy sauce. If you are super strict on paleo or any other diet, please feel free to alter recipes to conform. However, if you're just doing it because you feel better on it, I wouldn't worry about a couple tablespoons of soy sauce in a big meal if you've already got the bottle of soy sauce.

-> If you are trying to lose weight, eating these recipes with veggies ONLY should help you on that path. They are relatively low carb, medium protein, medium fat. If you eat these with rice or noodles or bread, that's fine...but realize that it will inhibit your weightloss. Some people join this list just for the recipes and don't care that they're paleo/primal, and that's fine.

Pot Roast Crock Pot Recipe

Beef, Crockpot

Prep 45 mins Cook 5 hours Makes 5-6 Source Mynaturalfamily.com

Ingredients

2-3 Lb Chuck Roast
5 Potatoes cut into chunks
1 Onion cut into chunks
4 Carrots (optional)
2 Cups Beef Stock or Broth
2 Cups of Water
½ tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Onion Powder
½ tsp Italian Seasoning
¼ tsp Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions

  1. First cut all of the potatoes and onions into large chunks. Using large chunks (about 2 inches square) makes sure they don’t turn to mush in the crock pot.

  2. First add the Roast to the crock pot, then the potatoes and onions and carrots (if used).

  3. Then add the seasonings over top.

  4. Next add the beef stock. The roast should be covered in liquid so add water until it is covered.

  5. Depending on your crock pot and how fast it cooks will depend on the time. Mine is pretty hot so it took about 5 hours on high. You will know it is done when you put a fork in it and it just falls apart.

  6. Once it is done remove the roast, potatoes, onions, and carrots from the crock pot and enjoy.

  7. You can use the juice over your roast or you can make a gravy by putting it on the stove and bringing to a boil while whisking in flour to the desired texture.
