✅ Meal Plan for 2/16/26 - 2/22/26 ✅


Happy Valentine’s Day! 💘 It’s time for another weekly meal plan. Here are my dinner (and salad) picks for Feb. 16–Feb. 22, 2026.

Also—can we talk about the Winter Olympics for a second? I’ve been completely glued to it. These athletes are unreal. The skill, the grit, the tiny details they’ve trained for years to nail in one moment… It’s so inspiring (and wildly entertaining). If you’ve been watching too, I hope you’re loving it as much as I am. ❤️❤️ Julia.
