Weekly Meal Plan Week 28 – 10 great bloggers bringing you a full week of recipes including dinner, side dishes, and desserts!
We’re already nearing the end of January — the first month of the year has flown by. Life has been busy here: kids’ activities, teaching barre classes, speaking engagements, managing family life, homeschooling, finishing a cookbook and its photography, teaching two of my three kids to drive, recovering from a brief flu, and juggling the many everyday tasks that fill our days. Through it all, the quiet moments around the dinner table are the ones I cherish most.
This week’s Easy Meal Plan brings a delicious variety of dishes that make dinner something to look forward to. Highlights include One Pot Garden Alfredo, Lemon Chicken Fettuccine, Mega Taco Salad served in baked Cool Ranch tortilla bowls, Better Than Takeout Beef and Broccoli, Lemon Chicken Skillet with Artichokes and Olives, Baked Buttermilk Chicken, Easy Apple Sangria, Brussels Sprout Salad, Hot Cocoa Cake, and Snickers Cookie Bars. It’s a mix of comforting classics and fresh flavors — something for every night. Which recipe will you try first?
