Skinnytaste Dinner Plan Week 34. Â I’m in Boston this weekend with some blogger friends, what a great city! Great people, great food and we are having perfect weather. Now it’s time to get ready for BBQ’s, beaches and fireworks!
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. If you would like to see some of the previous week’s dinner plans, click here
