sunday:
monday:
- leftover soup + bread from my mom
monday:
- I usually make a double/triple batch of this recipe and freeze the leftovers, as these freeze SO WELL and i love having frozen taco meat in my freezer for a quick dinner
- see my favorite freezer containers here, but I love to freeze my taco meat in these containers
- use ground beef and/or ground turkey
- I give the onion a few minutes head start before adding in meat, and I add in riced cauliflower when sauteeing onion
- puree spinach into tomato sauce (I don't measure how much spinach or cauliflower, sorry!)
- crunchy tacos + mashed avocado + pico + diced tomatoes + diced red onions + TJ's jalapeno sauce + shredded lettuce + quesadilla cheese + crema
- see instagram post here
- ALSO psa i love my avocado tool
weekly meal prep:
- visit my Pinterest boards to see where I save all food inspiration and ideas, like yogurt parfaits and snack boxes
- shop my favorite meal prep goodies here
- my version of Meal Prepping is asking myself, “What can I do now that will be helpful in the future?” AKA “What can I do now to make Thursday’s dinner easier?”
- I love this article for inspiration
- make a batch of this oatmeal
- store in small, individual glass containers like this for the week
- cook italian hot sausage for wednesday, cut up veggies for salads/dinners
- make a batch of soft scrambled eggs for the week
- make snack boxes in divided glass containers like this:
- pb&j's + apples + ?
- see my "snack box" highlight on my instagram for this better explained + past boxes
- see my Pinterest boards to see where I save all food inspiration for snack boxes/adult lunchables/bistro boxes/whatever you call them
- make smoothie cups and/or yogurt parfaits, if needed

wednesday:
instant pot creamy baked ziti (add italian sausage that I prepped on Sunday)
roasted broccoli or leftover salad?
leftovers
friday:
fajita friday or f it friday
- grab fajita family pack from chuy's
- orrrr eat leftovers, depending on fridge situation + our mood
- also, on fridays I menu plan + order groceries. I try to post my step-by-step each week in my instagram stories if you want to see how I menu plan, but I also wrote a blogpost about how I menu plan.
- see this quick instagram post on my friday routines here.
- see this blogpost for a list of all our routines, if you'd love some ideas.
saturday:
- snack dinner saturday
- see my "snack dinner" highlight on my Instagram for more
- finger foods, apps, cheese + crackers, various produce*, dips, anything goes
- I'm a relatively picky eater, so I use this time to try produce I haven't necessarily liked before + experiment with different ways to cook/eat said produce - serving a new food alongside, say, cheese and crackers makes it less threatening to me
- peek at my "snack dinner" pinterest board where I find inspiration
- aaaand this article in favor of snack dinner (+ ideas)
- my favorite place to learn cheese plates is this instagram account or her book
- if our budget allows, we love renewing our Cheese of the Month membership to celebrate our wedding anniversary - we discovered this cheese shop while dating in college, so it's one of our favorite nostalgic things. It’s pricey, but perfect for an at-home date, and perfect for our weekly snack dinner.
