I made you a meal plan!

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I'm not the best meal planner, to be honest 😉.

Dinner is often the recipe I tested that day or whatever I can scoop out of the fridge and toss with pasta.

But I know how satisfying it can be to have a plan. Being flexible is key, and using components from one meal in a second one is even better.

Let me know if this recipe plan is helpful, and I'll create more!

Day 1: If you’ve never attempted to roast a whole chicken, this one stuffed with garlic and herbs is a where to start. Use leftovers to make tomorrow's gnocchi soup.

Day 2: Made without cream, milk, or butter, this soup is a meal-in-a-bowl, full of tender chicken, chunky veggies, and potato gnocchi in a lemon-kissed chicken broth.

Day 3: My classic marinara sauce can be prepared with fresh tomatoes or canned tomatoes, along with seasonings, olive oil, and basil. This quick sauce is ready to serve in about 25 minutes over your fave pasta.

Day 4: A one-dish dinner that’s perfect for a busy weeknight. This dish combines cannellini beans, leafy greens, Italian sausage, and tomato marinara sauce from the day before, topped with cheese and toasted breadcrumbs.

Day 5: This delicious grain bowl/salad with sweet potatoes is a big hit with my readers — it’s hearty enough to serve as a meatless main dish for dinner and lunch the next day.

Hi Reader, If you're looking for a new way to cook salmon, check out these glazed salmon fillets that are pan-fried and finished in the oven. which helps keep them juicy. I top the fish with a savory maple and Dijon mustard glaze — you can taste all the flavor in every forkful. Quick and easy to cook: The 15-minute process involves a 5-minute pan-sear on top of the stove, then 5 more minutes in a hot oven to finish cooking. Balanced flavors: The glaze is pleasingly sweet and tangy, with a...

Hi Reader, This butternut squash pasta is a must-try: Along with Parmesan cheese, caramelized onion, and fresh sage, it is undeniably delicious. It has a lot to do with how I make this sauce.
