MONDAY Quick homemade fish sticks (gluten-free!) with yogurt-caper sauce and coleslaw. I make the yogurt sauce with non-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced capers, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Weekly Meal Plan // Week 18
We are entering our last couple weeks of school and my crew is crawling to the finish line. They’re tired, burned out and a tiny bit grumpy. Summer can’t get here fast enough. These next couple weeks a meal plan will help us stay in our routine until the school year is over. It will…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 14
SUNDAY Skinnytaste Sloppy Joe’s. This is my favorite homemade sloppy joe recipe, and it’s relatively fast. Perfect for a cold and cozy Sunday.

Weekly Meal Plan // Week 13
A Super Easy (and mostly healthy) Weekly Meal Plan We’re rolling into April and that time of year that always feels the most frenetic to me.

Use Napa Cabbage sliced thin for this vegetarian sauté; shiitake mushrooms are delicious here, but if you can’t find them, cremini mushrooms also work. Adapted from Lexi’s Clean Kitchen, who adapted her recipe from Skinnytaste, their versions use 7 ounces ground pork, which is a tasty addition.

Weekly Meal Plan // Week 10
SUNDAY It’s the Oscars and we’re hosting an exclusive party for five (plus one dog).

The mashed potatoes are insane…

Whole 30 Meal Plan // Week 5
SUNDAY Instant Pot Korean Short Ribs from Nom Nom Paleo look insanely delicious. Pair them with steamed broccoli or bok choy and tangy slaw.

Whole 30 Meal Plan // Week 4
