Happy Sunday! Hope you all had a great week, I’m in Charleston for a photoshoot for my next cookbook (yay!). Such a beautiful city and the photos are coming out beautiful, but I’m looking forward to getting back home to my family.
This is week five of sharing my weekly dinner plan since launching The Skinnytaste Meal Planner. I usually do all my food shopping on Sundays, but you can do what works best for you.
We are a family of four, so leftovers usually get packed for lunch. My weekday breakfast is simple, usually a smoothie, avocado toast or hard boiled eggs and fruit. Weekends breakfast gets more creative as I get requests from the family.This is just a guideline, you can choose just a few dishes or make them all. I am always testing out new dishes for the blog which I cook during the day (you can follow along on Snapchat, username Skinnytaste) so that is usually what I eat for lunch, and leftovers never goes to waste because I either freeze them for the month, pack them for lunch.
Please leave me your comments and tell me if this is working for you, or suggestions on how I can improve it. And if you bought the Skinnytaste Meal Planner, please leave a review on Amazon, or share what you’re eating using hashtag #skinnytastemealplanner
