Wonderful World of Color

Making meals for a family of 4 can get pretty mundane sometimes, so I came up with a plan to mix things up. I call it Color appreciation week. Here is the skinny, each day of the week you get to only eat one color of food for that day.

WHITE MONDAY:
Rice, potatoes, milk, cauliflower, halibut, sweet potatoes, some cheese and yogurts, tapioca pudding, tofu, marshmallows, white chocolate.

BROWN TUESDAY:
Nuts, peanut butter, mushrooms, pancakes, cereal, brown rice, chocolate, beans, beef, chocolate milk, chocolate pancakes-muffins & cookies

RED WEDNESDAY:
Strawberries, apples, kidney beans, tomato tortillas, pasta sauce and red pasta, salsa, red rice, red peppers and tomatoes. (tomato juice could dye many items)

ORANGE THURSDAY:
Oranges, carrots, salmon, yams, shrimp, mangos, pumpkin-(this could help colorize many things too like pumpkin pancakes or pumpkin muffins)

GREEN FRIDAY:
Green tortillas, green salsa, spinach, broccoli, peas, PESTO, cucumbers, guacamole, lima beans, edamame, celery, pickles, green olives, green pasta (spinach juice could dye some items too if needed)

YELLOW SATURDAY:
Eggs, squash, bananas, vanilla pudding, corn, butter, cheese, lemons, cornbread, cornbread pancakes, peperoncini,

I think we can pull this off. However I am very excited about GREEN day and might just become a greenatarian eating only green foods the rest of my life. Do you think I would turn green? I know someone who ate carrot juice a lot and they started to turn orange. What am I missing and what would be your favorite color day? I will let you know how it goes.


P.S. I know what you are thinking, that I have too much time on my hands right? Well I will have you know that when I worked 40hrs a week I planned spirit week at my office just like in high school and actually got a lot to participate. Ha! I just wanna have some fun. Ok maybe this gray wet weather is getting to me a bit.
