Healthy Dinner Meal Plan for March 23-29

March 21, 2020

Things are getting interesting with the Coronavirus, but I’m hoping to still get groceries delivered thanks to Instacart. I’m planning to use more fresh stuff this week and save the canned and non-perishable ingredients in case we really need them. Here’s what’s for dinner this week, if all goes as planned with groceries available: Monday […]

Things are getting interesting with the Coronavirus, but I’m hoping to still get groceries delivered thanks to Instacart. I’m planning to use more fresh stuff this week and save the canned and non-perishable ingredients in case we really need them.

Here’s what’s for dinner this week, if all goes as planned with groceries available:

Monday

Kale Quinoa Salad + Rosemary Maple Salmon. There’s a local restaurant that has a delicious quinoa salad with pecans, kale and a lemon dill dressing that I’m going to try to replicate. If it’s delicious, I’ll share the recipe. 🙂

Tuesday

Chicken Tacos with avocado, Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of cheese, lettuce and tomatoes.

Wednesday

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.}

Thursday

Leftovers. I’m planning to have a couple nights where we have leftovers for dinner. Using up some of our fresh produce, leftover dinners, whatever we’re all in the mood for.

Friday

South of the Border Pizza from the Cooking with Trader Joe’s Vegetarian cookbook + Orange Beet Avocado Salad. This pizza is different but so good: salsa, pinto beans, cheese and topped with guacamole and cilantro. The girls LOVE this pizza. And I love the colors and flavors in this salad, so it’s a perfect Friday night dinner. 🙂

Saturday

Chicken Curry Salad. I love making this with apples, celery, dried cranberries and cashews. It’s delicious.

Sunday

Leftovers. I’m planning to have a couple nights where we have leftovers for dinner. Using up some of our fresh produce, leftover dinners, whatever we’re all in the mood for.

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