Menu Planning Monday

Day 1:

• Breakfast: Easy Crockpot Breakfast Pie
• Lunch: Cold Cut Sandwich on Paleo Bread
• Dinner: Zoodles and Squoodles Pizza Casserole with tossed salad and your choice of dressing
• Cooking tip: Zoodles and Squoodles is very watery and must sit for more than an hour to absorb all the liquid.  If you meal prep, slice your yellow squash and zucchini and allow it to sit with sea salt on towels to release moisture while you begin to prepare other components of your meal(s).  Then slice your noodles into linguini noodles and your casserole should have next to no liquid once it's done cooking.  The reason that this is on Day 1 is so that you can begin with releasing the excess moisture while preparing days 2 - 7.  This way by the time you complete meal 7 your casserole will be cooked and your refrigerator will be full of wonderful meals! :)  ENJOY!!!

Day 2:

• Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs (no milk, just whisk your eggs and add some seasoning)
