Sometimes I put my meal plan together for the week (yes, I plan our meals out for a week at a time so I only have to make one grocery store run!) and it looks good, fine, I know I’ll like everything, but I’m not necessarily psyched to cook dinner every night. Other weeks, for whatever reason, things fall into place and I am really excited for what’s coming to my plate in the week ahead.
This is one of those weeks.
And in case you want to eat along with me, and because a lot of these recipes are others’ recipes I’m trying and can link to, I thought I’d share a week of meals with you. Actually six days, but you can take that seventh night off from cooking and go out somewhere :)
Night One
Crispy homemade fish sticks
Roasted asparagus with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper
Cantaloupe gazpacho
Night Two
Branzino with tomato jam
Crusty bread with garlic, smashed avocado, heirloom tomatoes, salt, and pepper
Swiss chard sauteed with olive oil, garlic, and salt, topped with toasted pine nuts
Night Three
Grilled chicken sausages (Whole Foods garlic and herb are my favorite)
Grilled eggplant with yogurt sauce and naan
Fresh cucumber and heirloom tomato salad
Night Four
Sriracha glazed chicken skewers
Crispy roasted potatoes
Beet salad with fresh mozzarella and poppy seed dressing
Night Five
Farro with tomatoes and poached eggs
Garden salad
Night Six

And a few extra treats I’m making this week and will share recipes for soon:
- Coconut and seed granola

- Healthy “milkshakes”
Hope you all enjoy a lovely weekend and I’ll see you back here next week!
