Hello and happy Sunday!
This week's meal plan includes: chicken parm meatballs, fish taco bowls with cilantro lime rice, slow cooker balsamic chicken and Caesar salad, cabbage and potsticker stir fry, my grandma's meatloaf and mashed potatoes, and irresistible tiramisu.
The Main Dish:
• Monday Main: Chicken Parmesan Meatballs - All the flavor of your favorite chicken Parmesan, but there’s no breading or browning involved — just roll and bake the meatballs in marinara sauce and serve over pasta for a fast dinner on a busy Monday!
• Tuesday Main: Fish Taco Bowl - Everything you love about fish tacos, but make it a bowl with cilantro lime rice fully loaded with taco-seasoned flaky fish, cabbage slaw, and creamy avocado!
• Wednesday Main: Slow Cooker Balsamic Chicken - Juicy chicken thighs swimming in a smooth balsamic sauce are perfect for an easy midweek meal thanks to everyone’s favorite set-it-and-forget-it kitchen appliance.
• Thursday Main: Cabbage and Potsticker Stir-Fry - This easy recipe starts with frozen dumplings, then add cabbage and stir fry veggies, and everything gets coated in a salty, tangy sauce that's better, and better-for-you, than take-out!
• Friday Main: Grandma's Meatloaf - This is my grandma's sweet and tangy meatloaf recipe, and it is like getting a big ol' hug from the inside.
• ☕ Weekend Treat: Tiramisu - An impressive and fun way to elevate any occasion, this easy to make tiramisu is rich and decadent while being light and airy at the same time.
Mix & Match Sides:
• Side 1: Roasted Asparagus - Drizzled with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice, roasted asparagus cooked in a hot oven becomes tender, sweet, and full of flavor.
• Side 2: Cilantro Lime Rice - This copycat Chipotle cilantro lime rice pairs amazing with the potsticker stir fry and fish taco bowls!
• Side 3: Caesar Salad - Coupled with crunchy romaine, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and the easiest homemade garlicky croutons, this Caesar salad is simplicity at its finest.
• Side 4: Mashed Potatoes - These easy mashed potatoes turn out irresistibly fluffy, buttery, rich, and creamy every time. Serve with meatloaf and balsamic chicken!
