Monday: Tomato and White Bean Stew on Toast
Homemade beans are delicious—but canned beans are a total lifesaver when you’re short on time. Pair with a small green salad and voilà.
Tuesday: One-Pot Chicken Alfredo
If you want to lighten up this delightfully decadent meal just a tad (fiiine), use skim milk in place of heavy cream.
Wednesday: Cauliflower Chili
Cauliflower and sweet potato stand in for meat, while black beans, corn, cheddar cheese and sour cream simply gild the lily.
Thursday: Buddha Bowl with Kale, Avocado, Orange and Wild Rice
Egg, pepitas, pomegranate, oh my! This grain bowl (and um, every grain bowl) is all about the toppings.
Friday: Easy One-Pot Lentil Kielbasa Soup
Psst: The longer the soup gets to sit before it’s served, the more flavorful it’ll be. So, feel free to make it a few days ahead.
Saturday: Keto Instant Pot Greek Cauliflower Rice
Cauliflower rice comes in clutch if you’re on a low-carb diet like keto. But even if you’re not, this take with cucumber, olives and feta is still well worth a try.
Sunday: Jalapeño-Avocado Mac and Cheese
The cheese sauce is partially made in the blender or food processor, resulting in a silky, uber-smooth final product.
