We are coming out of a full weekend working, so our plans involve some easier and pre-made options.

Breakfast – Costco muffins

Lunch – Costco chicken salad and croissants

Dinners:

  • Sunday: Costco Birria tacos – first time trying these and they were delicious!
  • Monday: Pasta with meat sauce + garlic bread
  • Tuesday: Loaded baked potatoes – cubed ham, broccoli, shredded cheese, top the tator, crispy onion strings.
  • Wednesday: Shawarma Bowls, (prepped day before)
  • Thursday: Potato Leek Soup + focaccia bread
  • Friday: Grab & go takeout (we have a swim meet to get to!)
  • Saturday: Turkey breast + stuffing

Kitchen Must Haves – Another week with a blended soup, so you know I used our immersion blender! My husband also prefers to make his own pasta sauce using a large can of San Marzano tomatoes and blending them with Italian seasoning.
