Healthy Weekly Meal Plan Week of 5.14.16

Happy weekend! I’m not sure I’ve ever been more happy that a week is over. This week was ROUGH. Lars was sick/teething and the weather was just crappy. On a positive note, my brother is in town visiting, so that’s been fun!

I think Lars is finally making a turn for the better, as his appetite is returning and he’s not a fuss bucket all day long, so I’m optimistic.

We are heading to Austin next week for a conference of mine, but we are staying a couple extra days to eat all the barbecue and Tex Mex possible. If anyone has some good restaurant recommendations, I’m all ears!

Now, for this week’s meal plan. We have a yummy mix of pasta and salads this week, all jam packed with veggies. That’s just what I need before I head to the land of slow cooked meats, donuts, and tacos! Have a great weekend!

Monday

Chicken and Spaghetti in a Creamy Avocado Sauce from Lauren Kelly Nutrition.

Prep Ahead: Chop vegetables ahead of time.

Tuesday

Grilled Salmon Nicoise Salad from Flavor the Moments.

Prep Ahead: Veggies may be prepped in advance, and the dressing may also be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
