Meal Plan Monday: Cooking light 2016 Annual Recipes

I am so excited to be cooking from Cooking Light: Annual Recipes 2016.

I cooked from this cookbook once before already, details here, and enjoyed everything. The cookbook is broken down by month so this time I'm cooking from the March section. We will not officially be in March until tomorrow but I'm out of town all week, for work, so I picked this cookbook because of the labels at the top of each recipe which outlines if a dish is Make-Ahead friendly. So important for me this week.

Here is the plan for the week (Monday - Friday are all dishes that I have already made in advance!)

SUNDAY: 

• Beef Chorizo Tacos with Cabbage Slaw (p.56) and Guacamole 

MONDAY: 

• Quick Chicken Curry (p.63) over Brown Rice

TUESDAY:

• One Pot Pasta with Spinach and Tomatoes (p.54)

WEDNESDAY:

• Shrimp and Chicken Gumbo (p.61)

THURSDAY:

• Leftovers

FRIDAY:

• Chicken, Broccoli and Brown Rice Casserole (p.58)

SATURDAY: 

• Moroccan-Spiced Pork Chops with Smashed Sweet Potatoes (p.69) 
• Lemony Green Beans (p.69) 

Meal Plan Monday: Skinny Taste Cookbook AGAIN!

I've been cooking from The Skinny Taste Cookbook! for about three weeks now and I'm still loving it... Guess it might actually be time for me to buy my own copy of the cookbook and return Virginia's! In fact Virginia and Tim were over at my house for dinner last night and I had to practically beg them to let me borrow it for one more week!

Okay so here is the plan for the week:

SATURDAY:

• Slow-cooker Jerk Chicken Tacos (p.155)

SUNDAY:

• Skinny Shrimp, Chicken, and Sausage gumbo (p.234)

MONDAY:

• BREAKFAST: Corny Banana-Blueberry Pancakes (p.48)
• Buttermilk Oven "Fried" Chicken (p.151)
• Sweet Potato Wedges (p.277) 

TUESDAY:

•  Quinoa-stuffed peppers w/ sausage (p.242) 

WEDNESDAY:

• Naked Persian Turkey Burgers (p.156) 

THURSDAY:

• Matt and the kiddos will eat at his Aunt's for Thanksgiving 

FRIDAY

• Leftovers

SATURDAY:

• Butternut squash Lasagna Rolls (p.248) PRE-Made as I will be out of town
  

I love love love this cookbook and really recommend it for everyone!

Cannot wait to share all of the yumminess with you on Sunday and share how I did cooking from this cookbook all week.

Tomorrow I will be back with some additional details on the Gumbo that I made yesterday!
