I know, today is Tuesday, which means we've already eaten Monday's meal! Usually I do the menu plan (which is really more of a supper plan) on Sundays and shop on Mondays, but this week is 10% Tuesday--that first Tuesday of the month when Safeway takes 10% off the total bill. So, either I'm late--or just in time. I'm going to post this and then go shopping.
As well, I am continuing with the Whole30 I started on January 2nd, so I have done my best to find whole 30 compliant meals. That means, no sugar, no soy, no dairy, no legumes, no grains, and no artificial additives. Just great tasting food! If you're interested, there's more info at the new Whole 30 web-site.

Lean Ground Beef 2.99/lb (or $6.59/kg)
Boneless Cross Rib Roast 3.99/lb (or $8.80/kg)

To make the meals non-paleo or "family friendly," I may add potatoes, rice or noodles as sides.

It all sounds yummy! I did a a Whole 100 last year and was able to completely go off of my blood pressure medicine, which was amazing. I still eat paleo, but not as strict as Whole 30. Looking forward to following along on your Whole30. :)
