Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 45). I’m so excited for the release of my new cookbook Skinnytaste Fast and Slow in just a few days (October 11th)! Tuesday I’m cooking Slow Cooker Black Bean Tacos from my new book! Next Sunday for local Long Islander’s, I’ll be doing a book signing at Stew Leonard’s in Farmingdale, NY from 12 to 2pm where they’ll be sampling some of my recipes. If you live nearby, please stop by!
For those of you that are in full football mode and cheering on your team, check out some of these game day favorites; Skinny Baked Mozzarella Sticks , Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip and Buffalo Chicken Meatballs, just to name a few!
Pictured below is The Skinnytaste Meal Planner where I plan my dinners for the week (you can of course use any meal planner). Meal planning is a great way to get organized before heading to the supermarket to get ready for the week! My breakfast is usually something quick like eggs with fruit, a smoothie or avocado toast. We’re a family of four, so if a recipe serves more, it’s either packed up for everyone’s lunch or eaten the next day as leftovers. If you would like to see some of the previous week’s dinner plans, click here
