Last summer I shared a post called 5 Tips for Healthy Meals Every Night Without Planning. To sum it up, basically I talk about my inability to successfully implement meal planning, like all the Pinterest moms. I blame it on my personality type.

I threw away the dry erase board, homemaking binder and recipes, and just started cooking real food.

As a follow up to that post, I wanted to share a real honest look at what that looks like here in the farmhouse. No lists, no recipes, no plan, seven dinners.

Here is what we eat in a week. Winter edition.

What We Eat in a Week- Easy Healthy Meal Ideas for Family

Night One
I threw a whole chicken in a 9 by 13 pan, topped it with melted coconut oil, salt, pepper and Italian seasonings. I put it, along with some whole sweet potatoes on the top rack, in a 400 degree oven for about an hour.  When they were soft, I removed the sweet potatoes from the peels, topped them with butter and salt. Zucchini sautéed in butter and sauerkraut round out the sides. 

Night Two
I seasoned a couple pounds ground beef with about a teaspoon of almost every spice in my cabinet. Seriously, I have no idea the ratios and combinations of seasonings, but I have done this several times and the end product always tastes like sausage. I scrambled up about a dozen eggs with some cream and tossed in chopped green peppers and onions. I topped it with some shredded cheese and shredded potatoes and baked it in a 350 degree oven until it was cooked through. 

Night Three
We had crispy salmon burgers with steamed carrots, broccoli and sauerkraut. To make it, I just smashed a couple cans of salmon with eggs, salt, pepper, chopped onions and coconut flour. I fried it up in my cast iron skillet with a little coconut oil.

Night Four
We had potato soup. I simmered some potatoes, onions and fresh garlic with bone broth. I used the chicken bones to make bone broth in the Instant Pot. 

Night Five
I made up a skillet dinner with sautéed carrots, zucchini and onions. I threw in some quinoa, cooked in bone broth, leftover chicken, scrambled eggs and coconut aminos. Sometimes I add a little ground ginger but I didn't have any. 

Night Six
We had meatloaf, crispy potatoes, green beans and sauerkraut. I made the meatloaf in the same way as the salmon burgers, with eggs, chopped onions, salt, pepper and coconut flour.  I even snuck in some leftover sweet potatoes. ;)

Night Seven
I forgot to thaw my meat in the fridge, which is basically the most important tip in my 5 Tips for Healthy Meals Every Night Without Planning. Whoops! But even with this recklessness, all is not lost. I threw a frozen solid chicken in the Instant Pot for an hour. I removed it from the bone and tossed it in the cast iron skillet with butter and seasonings, to flavor it up a bit. I made a little avocado dressing with avocados, apple cider vinegar, milk kefir, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
