A one-week meal plan v.2

your one-week meal plan for May is here

Hello and welcome to Weeknight Dinners! If you’re new here and aren’t yet subscribed, let me help you with that:

Hello, hello! Meal plan v.2 is here, and I'm super excited for you to try it. It's predominantly vegetarian with a quick tuna pasta on Thursday—pasta con tonno—a traditional Italian dish that relies heavily on pantry items and is delicious; keep it in your back pocket when you need a 10-minute meal. Sunday's batch cook / meal prep includes some quinoa, roasted spring vegetables, and marinated lentils, which can be made with store-bought pre-cooked lentils. 

This plan is a sample of my weekly meal plan program, Weeknight Dinners. Like all plans, it includes a seasonal menu, a shopping list, a Sunday batch cook / prep-ahead guide, and four recipes. I hope it helps you feel more confident and comfortable in the kitchen so you can stress less about “What's for dinner?” and focus on what's important to you.

If you're looking for another pescatarian-friendly menu, look at the April one-week plan here. It's perfect for spring and includes a Weeknight Dinners favorite—pasta al limone with asparagus and shrimp. So good!

Here’s this week’s menu …

Market salad with quinoa, marinated lentils, crispy vegetables, and feta cheese
