Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 99). It’s finally getting cold here in New York, we basically skipped Fall! If you’re planning a Friendsgiving in the next week or two, I have lots of Thanksgiving recipes here. The Slow Cooker Turkey Breast with Gravy is perfect if you want to feed a smaller crowd and it’s very easy to make. Add some side dishes and you are set!
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, 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.
