Who’s got their meal plan ready for the coming week??
Unfortunately, I have nothing planned yet, so I’m hoping to hit up Pinterest and my recipe binder for some inspiration this morning. I always feel so much better when I have a plan (or at least, somewhat of a plan!). As always, here’s a look at our meals from last week…we had some delicious ones, too!
Sunday: BLAT’s with sweet potato fries
Monday: Lemon and Black Pepper Shrimp with Fresh Linguine di Cavolo & Fava Leaves (recipe HERE)
This was our first Blue Apron meal of the week (I mentioned this previously, but while I am working with Blue Apron this year, Jay and I purchased this week of meals on our own!) and it certainly did not disappoint. The lemon pepper seasoning was light and flavorful, and I loved the way it all tied in with the shrimp and kale.
Four thumbs up over here on this meal.
Tuesday: Pan-Seared Steaks with Green Peppercorn Sauce & Roasted Fingerling Potatoes (recipe HERE)
You guys already know how I felt about this meal. Oh. My. Goodness.
Wednesday: Creamy Herb and Garlic Pasta with peas, carrots, and chicken sausage
You can see more details on this meal from this post earlier in the week!
Thursday: Spiced Turkey Meatball Pitas with Sugar Snap Pea & Bibb Lettuce Salad (recipe HERE)
This was our last Blue Apron meal of the week and I was in such a rush to sit down and eat this meal (hello, starving) that I really wasn’t too concerned about how it looked. The flavors in everything – the salad, the meatballs, and even the yogurt sauce – all tied in so well together. I felt like maybe the pitas were a little big for the meatballs, but other than that I loved it, and I definitely think it’s something we could easily recreate at home again.
Friday: Pizza with peppers and onions (x2) plus a blueberry beer at my parents’ house.
Jay needed a haircut that evening, so we all headed over after work to hang out for a bit and have some pizza for dinner. It was deeeee-lish.
Saturday: Out to dinner!
If you have any recommendations, as always, feel free to share ‘em! Happy Sunday, everyone <3
it is my mission today to find that creamy herb and garlic pasta. I have wanted to make that dinner since you posted the picture earlier last week!
Everything looks great and the pitas look incredible!
It all looks fantastic! I really need to get a jumpstart on meal planning…grad school makes it weird since my schedule is so up and down, but it’ll be so helpful in a few months.
This Korean Beef recipe is my new, “What the heck am I going to fix tonight???” recipe for dinner. It’s SOOO easy and yummy. My kids love it. Two things: I would double the sauce, and it really is best to use sesame oil (I tried just olive oil one time and missed that nutty flavor). I don’t know how to link well so here is the entire web address :)

p.s. I love your blog and look forward to it each day. :)
All of your blue apron meals always look so good. I know you are loving the collaboration with them this year. My go to meal when I can’t figure out what to cook is Chili. I always seem to have all the ingredients on hand.
This looks like a great week! I tried Blue Apron for the second time earlier this year and all the meals were misses, but I was also in my first trimester of pregnancy so I need to try again!
Here are my meals for the week!

Almond Chicken Fingers https://healthyfrenchliving.wordpress.com/2015/04/15/clean-eating-chicken-fingers/
BLAT’s are the best! I could never turn one down! I am not usually a steak person, but that sounds so good right now! Is that spinach creamed?
