Hello and happy Sunday!
This week's meal plan includes: creamy bacon mushroom pasta and sautéed spinach, shredded pork tacos with quinoa salad, classic niçoise salad with garlic bread, salmon stir fry and smashed cucumber salad over perfectly cooked rice, BLT burgers with confetti corn salad, and baked sticky chicken wings for game day!
The Main Dish:
• Monday Main: Creamy Bacon Mushroom Pasta - It’s rich, creamy, garlicky, and chock-a-block with tender cremini mushrooms and bits of crispy bacon.
• Tuesday Main: Shredded Pork Tacos - Juicy, fall-apart shredded pork drenched in salsa verde is braised low and slow on the stovetop and then finished in the oven to crisp it up carnitas-style.
• Wednesday Main: Niçoise Salad - This classic salad is light, fresh, and colorful, and the perfect dish to make for an easy midweek dinner!
• Thursday Main: Caramelized Salmon Stir Fry - Chunks of sweetly caramelized salmon are cooked in the oven or air fryer then added to a quick veggie stir fry on the stove.
• Friday Main: BLT Burgers - Incorporating finely chopped bacon into the patties means every bite is infused with tons of smoky bacon flavor that won’t slide off the patty as you eat.
• Game Day Snack: Baked Sticky Chicken Wings - If you're enjoying a game this week, these sweet, spicy, and oh so sticky, wings call for just 6 ingredients and are a breeze to prep for game days.
Mix & Match Sides:
• Side 1: Sautéed Garlicky Spinach - Easy sautéed spinach with sweet slivers of garlic takes just 10 minutes to cook for a healthy side dish.
• Side 2: Garlic Bread - Serve with pasta and/or salad. There’s no better way to sop up that last lick of pasta sauce from the bowl than a slice of crisp, buttery, garlic bread!
• Side 3: Healthy Quinoa Salad - Protein-packed quinoa is loaded with fresh ingredients like avocado, mango, red bell peppers, and herbs, then stacked with organic beans for added protein.
• Side 4: Smashed Cucumber Salad - This smashed cucumber salad is quick and easy to make and is the perfect fresh side to your salmon stir-fry!
• Side 5: Confetti Corn Salad - Finely chopped cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion mingle with sweet corn kernels in this visually stunning salad tossed in a tangy ginger-lime vinaigrette.
