💚 Meal Plan for Apr. 14-20, 2025 💚
|
Here are my dinner recommendations (and salads!) for the upcoming week (Apr. 14-20, 2025). DAY 1: Creamy Italian Sausage Gnocchi with Spinach and Tomato Sauce (30-Minute One-Pan Meal. Use store-bought marinara sauce, jarred canned tomato basil sauce, arrabiatta, etc)
DAY 2: Mexican Chicken Pasta with Bell Peppers and Green Chiles
DAY 3: Shrimp Tortellini with Spinach, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, and Creamy Mozzarella Cheese Sauce (So good with 3-cheese tortellini or store-bought ravioli of any kind)
DAY 4: Creamy Chicken Thighs with Tomato Basil Spinach Sauce and Parmesan (30-minute one-pan meal made with skinless boneless chicken thighs. You can use breasts, too.)
DAY 5: Asian Salmon & Noodles with Mushrooms and Snow Peas (with homemade honey-sesame Sriracha flavored sauce. You can use snap peas, asparagus, or green beans)
DAY 6: Basil Pesto Orzo with Cherry Tomatoes, Mozzarella Cheese, and Pine Nuts (meatless dinner that doubles as a side dish to serve with your favorite grilled meats, seafood, rotisserie chicken, etc.)
DAY 7: Steak Enchiladas with Beans, Green Chiles, Pepper Jack Cheese, and Pine Nuts (perfect for leftover grilled steak, grilled chicken, or rotisserie chicken. You can use corn, flour, almond, or cassava tortillas.)
SALAD 1: Strawberry Spinach Salad with Bacon and Toasted Almonds
SALAD 2: Beet & Spinach Salad with Mandarin Oranges, Pine Nuts, Feta, and Honey-Mustard Lemon Vinaigrette (great for cooked, boiled, roasted, marinated, or canned beets)
SALAD 3: Pear & Pomegranate Spinach Salad with Pecans, dried Cranberries, Feta, and Maple-Lemon Dijon Mustard Dressing
