Healthy Meal Plan {Week 136}

This week's healthy meal plan features both comfort foods and grilled meals, both meat and meatless. A little something for everyone!

It's been quite the week around here. On the positive side, our youngest turned 16 - where does the time go?! He received video messages, telephone calls and cupcake deliveries from friend and families, making it a special celebration amidst uncertain times.

Our older son, on the other hand, spent the week in bed nursing a VERY sore throat while doing his best to study for and take AP tests online. After a lot of rest and homemade ice pops for a very sore throat, he's finally on the mend.

Like the rest of you, we're doing plenty of cooking, pulling out some of our old favorites, such as Braised Herb & Balsamic Chicken and Hoisin Chicken Quesadillas.

But the dinnertime hit of the week (besides the birthday risotto) was Thai Veggie Naan Bread Pizza Recipe. With store-bought naan bread and a quick homemade peanut sauce, this recipe stole my family's hearts!

Let's get started with the meal plan...

Each week’s meal plan mirrors the way we eat at home – 90% healthy, with the occasional decadent meal thrown in. There will be a mixture of meat and meatless meals, with everything from slow cooker soups and dinner salads to one-pot dinners and breakfast for dinner recipes. A little bit of everything, which is exactly how we eat at our house.

If you make any of these recipes, I'd love to see them on Instagram! Just use the hashtag #COOKINCANUCK and I'll be sure to find your photos.
