An Example of A Meal Plan For Two Weeks

This is a new style of eating for us the last month, so it's experimental and up for revision whenever we feel it's necessary.  Enjoy perusing. 

Some of these meals are repeated more than once in the course of the two weeks we planned them for, others are one time meals and snacks.  Depends on the amounts we make and the expense to make each recipe.  We were able to get what we need for this meal plan for $250 for a family of 3 (+a breastfeeding baby, so some extra calories for mom!) and it will feed us for two weeks and two days... this includes some bulk that we already had in the house from previous pay periods (garlic, chia seeds, hemp seeds, almonds, frozen pumpkin, cherries, greens, granola, kefir, etc)

For those of you, like me, who immediately say to yourselves "where is all the protein with so little meat and for so inexpensive???"...

We get the majority of our protein from:
Local Free-Run Eggs (5 dozen every two weeks... usually some go towards a baked item to share at a church event or with friends, but most are eaten by us)
Chia seeds
Hemp seeds
Vega protein powder - vegan (we buy in bulk and only supplement occasionally with it, when we feel it's necessary.  I highly recommend!)
Almonds
Well aged cheeses, other nuts, and dark leafy greens are other sources of protein for us, as well.

Here is an article, from the Food Matters website, that sums up the protein issue for vegetarians. Not that we are vegetarians, or that we're close to vegetarians because we don't want to eat meat... more accurately because we cannot afford meat that is hormone and antibiotic free, animals that are wild or treated well (for our health's sake and to be good stewards of the earth!), and we feel that a lot of meat is unnecessary and takes a lot of energy for the body to break down.  So, we eat it in small amounts for all these reasons.
