Sunday – Cashew Chicken
I love having an Asian dish each week – it makes me feel like I’m getting variety and not constantly in a rut! And this cashew chicken recipe hits the spot! Now, I don’t use chicken thighs, I just defrost the frozen breasts from Trader Joe’s and cut those into pieces.
Monday – Spaghetti Pie
This recipe is from Paleo OMG and it’s really good! I use pre-shredded spaghetti squash or butternut squash. It’s a hack that I do because I honestly have never ever felt like actually shredding the squash myself. It’s healthy and delicious!
Tuesday – White Chicken Chili
Oh, I love a good crockpot recipe! Score for set it and forget it! And this recipe is really just letting all the yumminess simmer for most of the day.
Wednesday – Garlic Butter Steak Bites With Lemon
My kids love steak – of course they do! But we don’t eat a lot of red meat in our house, so when we do I give-in to getting steak. I use flank steak for this recipe from Trader Joe’s. Nothing fancy.
Pro-Tip – cut that flank steak super slim and cook for 30 seconds on each side. I also don’t use zucchini noodles because I have NEVER been able to make them without them turning to complete mush. So I generally pair this dish with roasted cauliflower.
Thursday – Turkey Loaf + Sweet Potato Fries
I didn’t like Meatloaf until I made this version of it. It’s definitely not dry and it is SUPER easy to make. Even my kids will eat it and they’re my worst critics!
Friday – Homemade Pizza
Yes, we do this every week. And no it most likely won’t change. Here’s the dough we use from the Pioneer Woman. I use whatever tomato sauce we happen to have lying around, BUT if I’m being super gourmet I will buy the pizza sauce from Trader Joe’s AND their Pizza seasoned shredded cheese.
Saturday – Mini-Meatball Sammies
Oh these meatballs are heavenly! Truly! The Pioneer Woman does it again! My kids love it and so do I. AND it’s simple and fast. I use ground turkey and it’s still absolutely delicious.
Don’t love these? It’s okay, we’ve got last week’s menu right here!
