Here's Your Weekly Meal Plan 🍽️


Hi Reader,

This week I'm including a few of my favorite recipes. You'll also notice that the meatless recipe lists bacon in the ingredients, but you can easily leave that out!

Weekly Meal Plan 🍽️

Here's our suggestions for delicious meals, sides to go with them, and a breakfast and dessert idea as well! [See previous meal plans ​here​].


A pile of mashed potatoes is a must.

Serve with potato chips or french fries

Make it meatless by leaving out the bacon!

A heaping helping of Salsa Fresca is perfect on top

A mound of Spanish Rice goes great on the side.


Our favorite skillet

You've probably seen it in our step photos on the blog. This Carote skillet has proven to be a valuable addition to our kitchen! Plenty big for larger meals and perfect heat distribution. Love it!


Breakfast and Dessert

Egg Salad

Classic ingredients make up this salad and I love it piled up on toast!

Homemade Samoas

Make your own Girl Scout Cookies, but always buy a box too! 😉
