Why, hello there sweet friend!

Two posts in one week!? What!

This morning I’m sharing a list for my April dinner menu. If you’re curious to see my process on how I come up with meal plans, how I choose my recipes or just want to watch me have a coffee and discuss eating, then check out this post. 

April Meal Planning: 21 Meals 

Vegetarian (4)

• Sweet potato healing bowl with broccoli or zucchini (Note: I just take out the rice and quinoa since we eat Paleo. Instead I add the zucchini or broccoli to round it out!) 

• Green curry with spring veggies

• Veggie stir fry over cauliflower rice (Note: i just do a super simple veggie stir fry with broccoli, sliced green and red pepper, sugar peas, sliced carrots and maybe some peas.)

• Large mixed dinner salad (loaded) (Note: I basically just take as much veggies as I can and throw them in a salad with spinach. I ususally just drizzle with olive oil, or make a super simple vinaigrette with lemon!) 

Chicken (5)

• Slow cooker butter chicken over cauliflower rice and steamed broccoli 

• Slow cooker basic chicken with mashed sweet potato and carrots (This is a great recipe that I haven't tried out yet, but looks very similar to the method I use to make my basic chicken. To make my chicken take a package of chicken thighs and place in slow cooker. Chop 1/2 white or yellow onion and throw in, along with about a cup of water. Add salt and pepper to taste and cook on low for 6 hours!) 

• Lemon chicken with asparagus and mushrooms

• Slow cooker BBQ Chicken with mixed veggies

• Chicken, strawberry and bacon dinner salad

Pork (4)

• Egg roll in a bowl

• Bacon wrapped pork tenderloin with sweet potato and asparagus

• Rosemary pork chops with roasted sweet potato and asparagus

• Sweet and savoury pork chops with glazed carrots and sweet peas

Beef (4)

• BBQ - Hamburgers

• Steak with sweet potato fries and mushrooms or asparagus

• Beef and broccoli stir fry

• Kielbasa skillet with sweet potato and green pepper (we use sweet potato instead of normal potato!) 

Fish (4)

• Butter garlic salmon in foil over asparagus and tomatoes

• Fish taco bowls with honey mustard sauce (*new)

• Scallops with asparagus ($$)

• Spicy salmon poke bowls ($$)

Note - I use dollar signs when a recipe may be more expensive then I’m using to spending on groceries!
