In case you missed it- Stacy did a live Facebook event last week, talking about how she puts together a meal plan! Lots of tips for saving time and how to make a meal plan adaptable for picky eaters or changes in the schedule.
This week’s meal plan features all recipes that can be found on the internet- no cook books needed to follow along with this one! For even more meal planning inspiration, check out our meal plan archives —> HERE!

Here’s what we ate for dinner this week:
Monday: Less Lasagna and Side Salad
—> Less Lasagna recipe from our blog made with our Fauxmato Sauce
—> Veggie Salad is usually lettuce, carrots, cucumber… but you can find more inspiration here
We all looove Lasagna night! We always make this with our tomato-less marinara sauce, and this week Matt made an extra large batch of it so that we’d have some to use with Thursday’s meatballs. A good example of one of the ways meal planning saves us time!
Tuesday: The Bacon Chicken with Cabbage
—> The Bacon Chicken with Cabbage recipe from our blog
One of household-favorite meals, especially when you slather the chicken with Tessemae’s Honey Mustard! The chicken is wrapped in bacon and cooked over a bed of cabbage- turning the cabbage into something magical that even the pickiest of eaters will enjoy!
Wednesday: Leftovers
We almost always build a leftovers night into our week! Everyone looks forward to leftovers for dinner because they can pick and choose what sounds the best. Plus, things like slow-cooked meats and casseroles like Lasagna are often better second day anyways.
Thursday: Spaghetti Squash with Meatballs and Side Salad
—> Spaghetti Squash baked in the oven until tender
—> Meatballs from The Organic Butcher of Mclean but here is our favorite homemade meatball recipe
—> Side Salad is usually lettuce, carrots, cucumber… but you can find more inspiration here
We took some help from our favorite local butcher this week with these pre-made gluten-free meatballs we picked up. All we had to do was prep a spaghetti squash, bake the meatballs, and add the marinara we made earlier this week for a super quick and easy dinner.
Friday: Out
On Friday night, Matt and Stacy went out to the big city to celebrate Brent from That Paleo Couple‘s Birthday!
Sunday Morning:
—> Gluten-Free Raisin Challah Bread from Rise Bakery
We brought home this delicious challah bread from a DC-based bakery to share with the kids!
