I’ve been dealing with some general fatigue for the last few weeks, so while I had my physical my doctor tested me for a variety of issues. Like last year my blood test came back that I was low on Vitamin D. Apparently it is VERY common and can cause things like fatigue, lack of mental clarity, aches and pains, and other symptoms. While I encourage you to get tested even if you aren’t low I’d recommend taking Vitamin D. I’m shocked by how much it made an impact as soon as I started.
So for now I’m keeping our menu plan super simple and repetitive so I can focus on resting up and finding some energy again.

Last Week’s Recap
Monday:Pancakes and fruit salad.
Always a crowd pleaser, I made gluten free pancakes this week, and no one knew the difference.
Tuesday: Chicken wings, roasted potatoes, a large salad, and cornbread. (I’m still trying to find the perfect recipe, do you have a favorite?)
I moved this meal to Sunday night. Instead we had takeout from Five Guys-a gift to me from me on Valentine’s Day.
Wednesday: Taco night!
Easy and fun!
Thursday: Perfect chicken breasts, caesar salad, garlic bread, gluten-free pasta with choice of toppings.
I skipped the caesar since we didn’t have the ingredients on hand.
Friday: Homemade pizzas, salad, and garlic bread.
We mixed it up and had the gluten-free pizzas as well as some other sides and some leftovers.
Saturday: Clean out the fridge night.
I was scrapping the bottom of the fridge here, but we made it work.
Sunday: Broiled fish (maybe key west style?), rice, salad, and fruit salad.
We had wings, homemade fries, and salad instead. YUM.
What’s on your menu this week?
