Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 9)
Happy Sunday! This is week nine of sharing my weekly dinner plan since launching The Skinnytaste Meal Planner. I like to plan my dinners for the week before I head to the supermarket to help keep me organized, which also saves a lot of time in the supermarket and it’s one less thing to think about during the week
You might notice I added a recipe for my new Instant Pot (pressure cooker, rice cooker, slow cooker in one) which I got last week, tried and loved! I will be sharing a recipe this week and using it a whole lot more in the future. If you don’t have one, most of the recipes will work in a slow cooker or stove top.
Breakfast I usually have something quick like eggs and fruit, smoothies or avocado toast. I
try to do my food shopping on Sundays, but you can do what works
best for you. We are a family of 4, so leftovers are often eaten the next day if the meal is
large or packed up for everyone’s lunch. If you would like to see some of the previous weeks, here they are:

Where do you get a smoked turkey drumstick?
They sell it in my supermarket. If you can't find in anything smoked would work, even some turkey Kielbasa would be great.
I want to make the instant pot recipe, but the link takes me to the swedish meatballs. Can you please fix the link? I want to make this stew! 🙂
Sorry just fixed!
I'm sure that this is not not the takeaway message from this post, but I am so excited that you got an Instant Pot! I love mine and hope this means that there will be more healthy pressure cooker recipes on the way.
yes! : )
