Healthy Meal Plan {Week 137}

This week’s healthy meal plan includes Father’s Day menu items on the lighter side, plus a great mix of weekday meals.

School wrapped up for my two boys this week and I can officially say that we have a graduate in the house! Our older son is graduating from high school, with plans to head off to college in the fall (depending on current restrictions) and we couldn’t be prouder of all of the hard work he’s put in to reach this point. We’ll be watching a virtual graduation ceremony on Monday and cheering him on!

I haven’t posted a meal plan in a few weeks, but shared a few new or updated recipes since then. In case you missed them…

• Homemade Ice Pops
• Chicken Kimchi Stir Fry
• Strawberry Salad with Feta & Basil
• Caprese Chicken Foil Packets

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.
