Inside My Dinner Plan (which functions like an app), you can select how many servings of each recipe you want to make, and the ingredients are updated so you can add them in the perfect quantities to your smart grocery list.
Want to batch prep your meals to save time later? I got you covered with the steps laid out. Want to cook as you go? Go right ahead! You can save your favorite recipes, make your own plans or use mine – and the plan includes 24 weeks worth!
Want to see it in action? Here’s a look behind the scenes at how the plans work, how the app functions, and how incredibly flexible it is to use!
- DAY 1: Sheet-Pan Chicken or Tempeh with Potatoes and Green Beans
- DAY 2: Lemon Herb Fish or Tofu with Green Salad and Wild Rice
- DAY 3: Turkey Meatballs or Plant Based Meatballs with Red Sauce and Soba Noodles
- DAY 4: Sheet-Pan Chicken or Tempeh with Potatoes and Green Beans
- DAY 5: Lemon Herb Fish or Tofu with Green Salad and Wild Rice
- DAY 6: Turkey Meatballs or Plant Based Meatballs with Red Sauce and Soba Noodles
- DAY 7 (BONUS): Sheet Pan Chicken or Tempeh with Tri-color Quinoa and Green Salad* or meal out
This is just 1 of 24 different weeks of menus and recipes that you’ll have access to inside My Dinner Plan. I wanted to give you enough variety to keep things interesting, but not so many recipes you’re buying tons of different things every week. These recipes have complimentary ingredients too, and if you use the actual plan, your grocery list gets built for you. Check out the demo video above to see how it works!
*Day 7 is a “bonus meal” because not everyone eats in all 7 days a week. If you want to make a 4th entree, I’ve used a protein you’re already using for something else but with a different set up to keep it interesting and cost effective. In the prep steps, I’ve made it easy to incorporate or leave out the prep for it.
