Hi again. I’m here and ready to show you another week of what we ate. I hope last week’s meal ideas and recipes helped all you busy mamas get a handle on the craziness that is dinner time.
If you missed last week, here is the post of what we ate for the week. I went into much more detail about how I meal plan, find recipes and grocery shop. Remember, this is what’s working for me but may not be the best for you and your family. I provide this to hopefully simplify your evenings and worry less about dinnertime.
Monday 4/25-
Paleo Taco Casserole– The Healthy Consultant
Modifications I made: I just swapped the ground beef for ground turkey
Tuesday 4/26-
Drunken Chicken Noodles– Slimming Eats
Modifications I made: I used chicken breasts instead of thighs. I swapped the snow peas for sugar snap peas because they are less stringy. I used 2 Tbsp of coconut aminos in place of soy sauce. I also skipped the Thai chilis and used a little cayenne pepper.
Wednesday 4/27-
Grilled Steak and Chicken Burritos Bowls– Oh Sweet Basil
Modifications I made: I made chicken for myself since I’m not a huge fan of beef. This was great because my husband made steak and egg burritos a few mornings since there was quite a bit of steak leftover. He even made several one morning and saved them for later in the week.
