This is the final week in the 12 week Keto menu plan series that I originally intended to create – it feels like yesterday when we started, doesn’t it??? I will continue to post menu plans, some for special dietary needs in the coming weeks as I have time. I’m also hoping to get back on track with Meatball Mondays, which I’m looking forward to!

I’m literally in the final hours of finishing the Spring Ezine, so I’m going to keep this short and get back to it! Have a great weekend Peeps!!

Prep List

Notes: Depending on your schedule you may find it easier to make everything on the weekend and reheat throughout the week – all of these dishes reheat well in that case. Otherwise you may choose to make some of the dishes on the weekend and others as needed throughout the week – that’s totally up to you.
[fancy_numbers variation=”slategrey”]

1. Assemble and bake your Sausage & Spinach Frittata and cut into four inch squares for the week. You will need 5 servings, leaving 7 servings to freeze or share.
2. Make 1 batch of the Cream Cheese Pancakes and divide into 2 servings of 2 pancakes each. You will use both servings this week.
3. Cook the entire pound of bacon and store in the fridge until needed for breakfast or lunch as called for.
4. Make your Simple Egg Salad. You will use all of it this week.
5. Cook the Cuban Pot Roast (you won’t need it until Day 3) and set aside 4 one cup portions for the week. There will be approximately 6 portions left to freeze or share.
6. Make your Caprese Meatballs and divide into 4 servings of 4 each. You will need all four serving this week.
7. Cook your spaghetti squash and portion out three 1/2 cup servings. Freeze or share the rest.
8. If you don’t have any frozen Keto Marinara leftover (or any sugar free jarred marinara), then make a fresh batch of the Keto Marinara. Reserve 1 cup for the week and freeze the rest.
