April 4, 2020

This week, I’m planning to use a bunch of stuff we have in hopes that we won’t have to do an Instacart delivery. I’m trying to limit the amount of times we go to the store/have items delivered as much as possible. So, lots of sweet potatoes and frozen staples (thank goodness I stocked up […]

This week, I’m planning to use a bunch of stuff we have in hopes that we won’t have to do an Instacart delivery. I’m trying to limit the amount of times we go to the store/have items delivered as much as possible. So, lots of sweet potatoes and frozen staples (thank goodness I stocked up on a bunch of my favorite Trader Joe’s healthy frozen staples!)

I hope this helps give you some healthy dinner ideas!

Here’s what’s for dinner this week:

Monday

Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes from Food with Feeling. Sounds delicious and uses ingredients I have!

Tuesday

Cauliflower Fried Rice. This is one of my favorite quick dinners that is full of tons of veggies. The recipe is included in my freebie roundup of 7 healthy dinners (enter your email HERE and the recipes will be sent to your inbox! :))

Wednesday

Chicken Sausage Sweet Potato Bake from Peanut Butter Fingers blog. This is delicious and makes the house smell like Thanksgiving. 🙂

Thursday

Leftovers!

Friday

Pizza night! We’re using some of our favorite Trader Joe’s frozen pizzas.

Saturday

Takeout or TBD.

Sunday

Cauliflower Curry from A Pinch of Yum + brown jasmine rice (my favorite recipe from Dad Cooks Dinner). {I prep the rice beforehand since it’s also cooked in the Instant Pot.}

I hope you find these weekly healthy family dinner meal plans helpful for healthy dinner ideas. 🙂 You can check out past weekly dinner plans HERE.
