Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 23)
Hope everyone’s having a great weekend! I’m excited for April, the start of a new month filled with new goals and intentions! You may have noticed some Spring cleaning on my blog, a beautiful blog redesign by Purr Designs with a pretty smart index! I’ve also changed my email subscription to mail chimp, so if you stopped getting my recipes to your email you may want to check your spam folder. Other goals for this month are stepping out of my workout routine. I took a new TRX class at Beach Fit and had such a great full body workout (I’m still sore two days later) this will def happen again. It’s a short meal planning week for me, I’m heading back to Charleston SC for the final part of my cookbook shoot for Skinnytaste Fast and Slow, with photographer Helene Dujardin, food stylist Running With Tweezers, and prop stylist Kim Phillips. Photos are coming out so beautiful, I can’t wait for you to see this book!
Week 23 of sharing my weekly dinner plans. Pictured above 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.

LOVE the look of the new blog!
The only thing I miss so far is when printing I used to be able to delete sentences to get the recipe to fit on one page. (Was I also able to change the type size 90%, 80%, etc?) Any way to get that/those option(s) back?
I have been a Weight Watcher on and off again all my life. The program really does “work if you work it.” I have tried about a dozen of your recipes and loved them all. Thanks to your recipes I am back in the kitchen cooking good stuff AND losing weight. Bought the cookbook – what a gorgeous book (and I have many). Even though I had sworn I would never buy another cookbook I was so thrilled to have found your site I felt that I wanted to do something to support what you are doing. I will buy the next one too. Keep up the good work, Gina!
Thank you Donna!! 🙂
The new site design looks great! Very clean and crisp. Thanks for continuing to post your weekly dinner plans. I really look forward to them every week as they provide good inspiration!

I love the new website – great look and easy to navigate! And your recipes are consistently delicious. When my husband and I are planning meals for the week he will now ask, “What’s new on Skinnytaste?” We’re hooked!
Love the new look of the website! I must make at least 2 recipes from this blog a week.
