We are having some unbelievably warm weather this week, feels like Spring so I am grilling some this week, Shawarma-Spiced Grilled Chicken with Garlic Yogurt and North African Spiced Shrimp and Chickpea Salad. Also on the menu is a comfort food staple in my home, Filipino Adobo Chicken which I am going to test out in my Instant Pot! And some more favorites, Cauliflower “Fried Rice” with shrimp to make it a meal, and Blackened Chicken Fiesta Salad which I will make for my husband and I, I’ll leave out the blackened spice for Madison.
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, 4-ingredent pancakes, 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

Your planner only specifies dinner. What do you do for lunch?
I made adobo chicken in the IP! I didn’t convert your recipe even tho it’s a favorite, but I used one that was designed for the IP. I will be curious to see how it goes for you, hopefully you can let us know how to make it work!
Can wait to see how your Instant Pot conversion goes. I just bought one, but have been to “chicken” to try it yet.. Love your recipes.
Obsessed with your cauliflower fried rice!
I have some boneless chicken breast and some leftover roasted cauliflower in the fridge. The Shawarma chicken sounds perfect. All I have to pick up is the yogurt.
Your recipes this week sound great and look really good but there are so many spices that I know will be expensive that I can not afford to try these.
Spices last a long time, you buy them once.
All these recipes sound so good! x
