Last week was a messy week as far as cooking and trying those new healthy products went. I only sorta stuck to my meal plan, and I only tried one of the three products on my list, kefir.
Kefir is a "fermented milk drink" that contains many strains of probiotics, which supposedly aid digestion, immunity, and more. I decided to try Lifeway ProBugs, because a woman in line behind me at Whole Foods raved about them, and I thought it would be sweeter since it's aimed at kids. It was really tangy though - in fact, too tangy for my taste, although maybe I'll get used to it. My fourth-grader hated it, and I didn't even make my sweet-toothed second-grader try it.
This week's new healthy dish will involve a new-to-me vegetable called Romanesco cauliflower, which is coming in my CSA box. According to the farm, Romanesco "florets have the same texture as a white cauliflower, but the flavor is more earthy, with a slightly nutty flavor." We'll see!
And here's what I'm planning for the whole week:
Monday:
Breakfast - Pancakes
Dinner - Spaghetti Bolognese, Sauteed Green Beans, Garlic Knots
Tuesday:
Breakfast - Bagel Breakfast Sandwiches
Dinner - Miso Chicken, Rice, some kind of veggie
Wednesday:
Breakfast - Oatmeal
Dinner - Pan Bagnat, Chips, and Fruit
Thursday:
Breakfast - Best Ever Blueberry Muffins
Dinner - Meatloaf Burgers, Cauliflower, Romanesco and Broccoli Gratin, Garlic Knots
Friday:
Breakfast - Yogurt Parfait with Homemade Granola {recipe forthcoming}
Dinner - "Un"Stuffed Cabbage Soup, bread
Saturday:

-> New plan: Lobster, Steamed artichokes, Chocolate Mousse
Sunday:
Dinner - Dinner out

Kefir! We drink a lot of this at our house, because it's full of Probiotics that helps my son counteract the side effects his medication. Our favorite is the Lifeway Madagascar Vanilla.
Sometimes we will mix half Kefir and half Naked Mango Juice to make a smoothie of sorts.
Ah, that's brilliant! At least I know how to use up the rest of the kefir :) Thank you!
