Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 18)
Happy Sunday! February’s been a crazy month finishing up the manuscript for my new cookbook, Skinnytaste Fast and Slow! I’m excited to start sharing new recipes here on Skinnytaste, I have tons of ideas so stay tuned! This is week 18 of sharing my weekly dinner plans. I use The Skinnytaste Meal Planner pictured below to plan my dinners for the week (you can of course use any meal planner).
A 52-week meal planner, food tracker and exercise tracker in one. I’ve included the Smart Points next to the recipes since I am currently on Weight Watchers. Also, if you have The Skinnytaste Cookbook, and currently on Weight Watchers, I have all the Smart Points listed here for your convenience.
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.

I saw a random recipe from Skinnytaste on Facebook and it looked interesting!!!! I clicked on it to get the recipe and OMG opened up an entire website of wonderful!!! Have made at least one or two of your meals a week!! LOVE,LOVE,LOVE!!!
You really know how to make healthier food look absolutely yummy! I'm gradually learning how to take better photos of the food I make.
That eggplant rollatini sounds amazing.
Thank you, it's wonderful!!
That balsamic pork is amazing!!!
Thank you!!
Added for a Sat or Sunday meal for us. She not meal planning for herself those 2days. I'm assuming since she's away.
The eggplant rollatini & marinara sauce are listed in the shopping list, but not in the dinner plan. Is it a typo?
It's in the picture but not written in the meal planner. Perhaps that is dinner when she is in Charleston. 🙂
I messed this up, my intention was to make this Saturday then I realized I was going to be away…. feel free to add it to you're meal plan… it's delicious!!!!
Your balsamic pork has been on my list to try for a while now…looks so good! And I am glad you have put the SmartPoints out there for the cook book. Thumbs up! I haven't been near as on top of things for updating all of my recipes with SmartPoints values. :-/
I made your Cream of Asparagus soup yesterday, Gina. It was delicious!
