This Week’s Meal Plan

I’m trying really hard to get in bed earlier. It’s been around 11 PM lately and then it’s 11:30 by the time I read to wind down and finally turn off the light. And to get in bed earlier, I need to eat dinner earlier. But since I’ve switched from morning workouts to evening workouts for various reasons (which I can go into if any of you are interested), it’s tough to eat dinner any earlier than 8 PM and sometimes it’s closer to 9 – ACK! So, what I’m doing to help alleviate the late-night dinner is prepping more on Sundays — chopping veggies, cooking meat — and making meals that are (a) simpler, (b) involve the crockpot, or (c) can cook while I shower after working out.

If you have any super quick dinner ideas, I’d love to hear them! Share links if you’ve got them. Here’s what I’m planning for the upcoming week!

Lunch – sticking with soup & salads!

• I’m going to make a big pot of Spinach & Broccoli Soup to eat during the week (I need to share this recipe! So easy & so good.)
• I’m also obsessed this salad combo lately: kale, shredded brussels sprouts, shredded cabbage, goat cheese, toasted sliced almonds + grilled chicken, topped with a mustard & balsamic dressing

Dinners

M – Dinner with friends at Krankies after CrossFit; my favorite coffee shop in town recently remodeled and added a kitchen so they can serve food. I haven’t tried it yet and can’t wait to!

T – One-pan honey mustard chicken with roasted veggies (Tommy’s mom made this when we were visiting her last week – SO good!)

W – Simple sauteed shrimp with Asian Broccoli Salad 

Th – Kale, Avocado & Cilantro Salad with Blackened Chicken

F – Bunless burgers with roasted brussels sprouts & baked sweet potato chips

S – likely eat out
