Meal Plan Week Seven

It’s going to warm up this week! I’m so excited. Here’s the plan for this week. Simple enough to squeeze in all my Christmas decorating between kids activities and meal prep. BAM! Have such an awesome week!

MONDAY - Turkey and Quinoa Stuffed Peppers. Serve this with a salad. Make these extra special by making and stirring in refried beans made in the instant pot - Link to the recipe here.

TUESDAY - Green Thai Curry with Chicken & Pumpkin - I’m gonna be honest, this one is an experiment this week. But I hope it’s delicious! I was recently at a restaurant called “The Curry Bowl” in Fernie and I tried a similar dish to this and I was oddly hooked on the pumpkin in it so there’s the back story to wanting to try this! Also, whoever wrote this recipe wanted to sound really smart, but a “capsicum” is a pepper, a “courgette” is a zucchini.

WEDNESDAY - Garlic Beef and Veggie Ramen from Supper Studio. Link to order here.

THURSDAY - Taco Salad - Make it simple! In the grocery list I have prepared for nacho chips, taco beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, lettuce, salsa, sour cream, avocado, and green onion. Adjust and add whatever else your family likes!

FRIDAY - Fridge (our fancy word for leftovers).

SATURDAY - Supper Studio’s Curried Cauliflower Soup. Vegetarian and so, so delicious!

SUNDAY - Shepherd’s Pie. You are going to make two here and freeze one (or give one away to a friend who could use some help!)
