LSL Weekly Meal Plan #8

Happy Memorial Day weekend! Feels weird this year, huh? It feels extra strange for Adam and I because this was supposed to be our wedding weekend… a weekend we were looking forward to for nearly a year and a half.  I actually feel pretty okay about everything as of today – I’ve definitely spent some time mourning our original date already. That being said, I’m pretty sure Sunday is going to require some time in the sun, delicious food, and MULTIPLE cocktails 😉

Speaking of food… have you purchased my meal planning downloads yet? They’re only $2.99, guys – what are you waiting for?! You get a Meal Plan Template (so you can mix and match recipes from this post vs. family favorites), a categorized Grocery List Template, and a Meal Builder – aka my secret weapon when putting meals together based on what I have on hand. That’s right – 3 buckaroos will get you organized and in charge of your kitchen. I don’t know about you, but I’d call that a STEAL.

*click here to purchase all of them for just $2.99!*

You can also read more about why I made these and download the meal plan template on its own for free, too. A little gift for ya – although, I totally recommend getting all of them, duh ?

lsl weekly meal plan #8

night 1 – Grilled Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos

Even if we can’t celebrate with a big party this year, these tacos are the perfect dinner to grill up on Sunday or Monday when the weather is nice! They’re super easy to make, and they have a ton of great summer flavors. We made them again last night actually!

night 2 – Chicken Sausage Skewers and a big salad

These Chicken Sausage Skewers are another one of my favorite simple grilling recipes – except this one is even easier than the last one! Since you can buy chicken sausage pre-cooked, all you have to do is put them on skewers with peppers and onions and get a nice char on them. Serve them with a big salad for a light but satisfying meal!

night 3 – Grilled Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos leftovers

I think the key to these leftovers is to heat the chicken up in a pan with fresh lime juice. Adding lime juice instead of just oil keeps the chicken moist and flavorful even as leftovers. So good!

night 4 – Crispy Lemon Feta with Chickpeas and Basil Orzo

Half Baked Harvest does it again… how good does this vegetarian orzo dish look?! Crispy feta? Spiced chickpeas? Fresh zucchini? Basil orzo? Yes, yes, yes, and YES!

Night 5 – Salmon and Asiago Asparagus

Okay, I know this isn’t the prettiest food photo I’ve ever shared – but this dinner was so easy with barely any ingredients, so I had to share it here! Here’s how you make it:

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
2. Cut a bunch of asparagus into bite sized pieces.
3. Place 2 salmon filets on a lined baking sheet, and put the asparagus on the sides and around the edges.
4. Spray with avocado oil spray and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle shredded asiago cheese over the asparagus. (Parmeasn would work, too!)
5. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and sprinkle that over both the salmon and asparagus.
6. Roast for 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.

night 6 – Crispy Lemon Feta with Chickpeas and Basil Orzo leftovers

I think it would probably be best to store the feta separately from the orzo – that way you can crisp up the feta on it’s own after you heat up the orzo and veggies.

night 7 – Order in!

breakfast ideas

Instead of baked oatmeal or chia pudding, I’ve been making this Purely Elizabeth oatmeal. Just add a dollop of nut butter and some fresh strawberries!

lunch ideas

I got the kale salad from Real Good when I ordered their Farm Box, and I’ve been eating that with leftovers for lunches. I’ve also made pan con tomate more than a few times… the sourdough and tomatoes in that box were too good to resist! Just toast sourdough bread, rub fresh garlic on the hot toast, then rub a cut tomato on it. I then slice the rest of the tomato to put on top, followed by flaky sea salt. So. Damn. Good.
