Menu Plan // January 2014

It’s a new year! Maybe your resolution this year is to eat healthier. I know mine is! This year I want to get into recreating the highly processed and unhealthy foods and learning all about sourdough and kefir. This month’s menu plan does not use many fruits mainly because they are not in season locally. If you’re viewing this menu plan in, say, summer or autumn, it’s perfectly fine to use fresh fruits in place of some of the side dishes.

This menu plan is one where you can test your skills in the kitchen to make the ingredients needed to put together things like burritos and tuna salad sandwiches. You can get a whole wheat bread recipe here, a tortilla recipe here, and a pita bread recipe here. You’ll love how versatile this menu plan is. You can easily switch Monday’s dinner for Wednesday’s dinner or Friday’s breakfast for Tuesday’s breakfast (I think you get the idea).

Here is the printable version.
