As I mentioned in a previous post, we are going back to the GAPS diet for my daughter. Since GAPS is a healthy way of eating anyway, we’re all going to eat GAPS. Thankfully, I’ve had no difficulty finding delicious meals to cook. I’ve been using Rachel Albert-Matesz’s The Garden of Eating recipe book as a guide this past few weeks and every single dish I’ve made is absolutely delicious and satiating! And, to boot, I’ve lost 2 pounds!
So last week we spent close $45 on produce at Uncle Paul’s…but I got a TON. So much, in fact, that this week my only grocery list item is “eggs“. So my plan is to use what I have in the veggie bin: collards, carrots, cabbage, avocados, acorn squash, sweet potatoes (I know, not technically GAPS legal), broccoli, cauliflower, beets, brussels sprounts, turnips, etc.
Monday:
Breakfast: leftover coconut honey muffins, goat yogurt w/ stevia and cinnamon, leftover fruit from birthday party.
Lunch: leftover fish & leftover green beans, nitrate-free hot dogs for kids
Dinner: mashed sweet potatoes w/ lime, turkey (freezer) reheated in homemade BBQ sauce, mustard-glazed broccoli
Tuesday:
Breakfast: scrambled eggs w/ herbs, bacon, apples w/ cinnamon
Lunch: leftover BBQ turkey, mashed potatoes, broccoli, salad
Dinner: Brisket, salad (birthday dinner for my brother!)
Wednesday:
Breakfast:tropical fruit “ambrosia” in coconut milk, fish roe cakes
Lunch: Miso soup w/ sea veggies, sauteed collards
Dinner: tuna curry, curried cauliflower, mangoes
Thursday:
Breakfast: egg scramble w/ leftover collards, fruit
Lunch: liverwurst, veggies, salad, squash brownies
Dinner: Turkey & Vegetable Soup, roasted root veggies
Friday:
Breakfast: Almond Flour Pancakes
Lunch: leftovers
Dinner: Brazillian Shrimp Stew
Saturday:
Breakfast: Smoothies (goat kefir)
Lunch: leftovers
Dinner: Leftovers
Sunday:
Dinner: sloppy joes

Thanks for posting this. I have that book on hold at the library and look forward to checking it out.
Hey – two questions. One, do you have a recipe for the fruit ambrosia in coconut milk? I’ve had “ambrosia” a couple times and love it, but know it was made with cool whip. I’d love to try something more “real food”
Also, where’d you get the fish roe for your fish roe cakes? How was it packaged/what was it called? Thanks!
