Well, I think calling this past week’s meal plan a “meal plan” may be a bit of a stretch, since we only really cooked three dinners and wound up eating out a little bit more. But hey, sometimes that happens, right?
Either way, here’s a look at our dinners from this past week, plus some breakfast/lunch ideas AND two giveaway winners (so keep scrolling!).
Sunday: Spring Gemelli Pasta with Garlic Sugar Snap Peas, Crispy Capers & Soft-Boiled Eggs
This was a really delicious Blue Apron meal from our delivery last week and I thought it was so unique to put the hardboiled egg on top. It was definitely better than I expected!
Monday: Out to dinner with Heather – a grilled chicken wrap
Tuesday: Roasted Chicken & Mixed Mushrooms with Crispy Rosemary-Orange Salad & Chipotle Pan Sauce from Blue Apron
This wasn’t our favorite Blue Apron recipe, but it wasn’t bad.
Wednesday: A totally amazing chicken burger + side salads, which I am SUPER excited to share with you guys this week (so stay tuned!)
In the meantime, be sure to check out my other favorite chicken burger recipes!

Friday: Takeout subs – Jay and I shared a pulled pork sub and a chicken salad sub, and they were both SO good!
Saturday: Out to dinner with family – we got salad and a couple of pizzas to share (Jay and I shared a buffalo chicken and a chicken fajita, both of which were DELISH, even though they weren’t very photogenic).

*This is a section I’m planning on working on more, but you guys have asked for it, so here’s what I’m planning out for the week ahead:
Creamy Crockpot Steel Cut Oatmeal – this will get me enough for four breakfasts, and then I’ll likely make something else on the fifth day. I just cook it up on Sunday, divide into containers, then add a little extra almond milk and stir before re-heating each batch.
I’ve been loving salads and sandwiches lately, so I’ll probably make about 3 salad bases ahead of time, and will do a mix of salads and sandwiches for during the week.
For my salad bases, I almost always add:
- mixed greens
- cucumbers
- shredded carrots
- grape tomatoes
- dried cranberries
- feta cheese
- diced onions (sometimes)
- any extra veggies we have lying around
On the day I’m ready, I’ll typically add in things like avocado, a protein (usually grilled chicken up or I make some of my Easy Crockpot Whole Chicken), and then dressing and croutons (if we have them) on the side.
***Giveaway Winners***
Last but not least, I’ve got two winners from my Blue Apron giveaway to announce! Congrats to…

Hi courtney! I like that you still post your meals a lot, unlike some healthy living bloggers that dont anymore, but used to.
Courtney says
Thanks so much, Elena! I know a lot has changed with blogging, but I still enjoy trying to maintain some of the original elements I started with :)
Jennifer says
Thanks for the breakfast and lunch additions! I agree with the above comment- many of the bloggers gave up posting menu plans and I’m so glad that you still do! It’s really helpful!
