On the menu this week, Eggs Pizzaiola – a quick, cheap one-pot meal I’m in love with! Nachos for dinner, well yes when they are actually mini stuffed peppers, why not! And if you haven’t tried the un-stuffed cabbage bowls, read the reviews, everyone is raving about them! A few other favorites, baked fish sticks and because I’m having friends over Sunday, pasta with chicken sausage and broccoli is always a crowd pleaser!
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.
