With the shift in the seasons it’s now, once again, time to change our meal plan. For more about the whys and hows of my meal planning system, see this post.
Week One
Sunday: Beef Roast or Steak, Mashed Turnips
Monday: Katherine Soup (a squash and greens soup in chicken broth, with miso)
Tuesday: “Chicken Dippers” (a family favorite: strips of chicken with a spicy potato flour coating) with home-made mustard, Broccoli
Wednesday: Roasted Veggies, mugs of Coconut Chicken Soup
Thursday: Cottage Pie (similar to Shepherd’s Pie, only with a mashed yam topping)
Friday: Organic Hot Dogs or Sausages that can be roasted over an open fire, a selection of home-made mustards, roasted Brussel’s Sprouts
Saturday: Squash and Beans, Fish (whatever looks good)
Week Two
Sunday: Burger Salads (explained here)
Monday: Tilapia Chowder and Lentil Soup
Tuesday: Roasted Chicken, Almond Bread, Brussel’s Sprouts

As always, greens and other vegetable side dishes will be added in based on what’s available.
I have no recipes to link to for any of our meals this time around. None of these meals actually have a specific recipe, just a way of being prepared. I’m hoping to share simple cooking ideas throughout the season that will give you an idea of how to make some of these dishes in your own home.
Here’s to another delicious season!
Thanks for posting this. It helps me to see it all laid out. I’m new to meal planning.
I’m about to redo my meal plan for fall as well. You’ve given me some great ideas!
Sounds yummy! You’ve given me some inspiration! It looks like you are grain-free (or minimal grains)? We are slowly adapting to a grain-free diet. Could you share how you make the chicken fingers?
Oh I am glad you post your meals- I always need ideas!
Emilie- Yes, we are mostly grain free. Quinoa being a pseudocereal doesn’t technically count, but I tend to count it anyway, since it has so many of the same qualities as grains. We haven’t had it in several months, but it was a special meal request from the children, so we’re going to try it and see how it goes.
I’d be happy to post the chicken finger recipe or method. I’ll be making it next week, so I’ll try to get some pictures then and do a post about it.
