The Picky Eater Meal Plan (Week 4)

For this week, here is our dinner plan: 

• Monday:Instant Pot vegetarian chili
• Tuesday: Use leftover chili as a topping for Loaded Veggie Nachos
• Wednesday: Healthy Asian Stir Fry with Tofu
• Thursday: Leftover stir fry
• Friday: Butternut Squash Soup –> I serve this with grilled cheese (2 slices sprouted wheat bread + 1 slice cheese, olive oil spray on the griddle to cook!)
• Saturday: Eat out
• Sunday: Healthy Baked Potatoes

Over the years I’ve gotten lots of questions from all of you about what I eat on a weekly basis, how I meal plan, etc. And so I thought the easiest thing to do would be to just share what we are actually eating on a weekly basis and how we balance things out!

If you’re looking for quick and easy meals you can make in under 30 minutes, check out my Last Minute Dinner Ideas!

Some of my general rules for weekly meal planning:

• Breakfasts for us are always some version of oatmeal – I just mix things up by changing toppings every so often. If you’re looking for a bit more variety, try one of these recipes here.
• Lunches are usually either leftovers, or one of these easy recipes here.
• For dinner: I alternate between super fast meals that are still healthy, and meals that might take a bit more time (no more than 45 min – 1 hour to make). I like variety but it’s hard to figure out variety 3 times a day every day, so I keep our breakfasts and lunches simple, and change things up each night for dinner! We also eat out once a week, and do leftovers once a week at least!

For those of you who are new to meal planning, you can do it! Just follow this plan, make a shopping list, go shopping and make it happen! Happy cooking everyone!
