A great mix of healthy weekday meals, and holiday brunch and dinner ideas in this week’s meal plan! Nutritional information and Weight Watchers SmartPoints included.
It’s a big week for our family! To kick off the week, my husband is running his 8th Boston Marathon and we couldn’t be prouder of his perseverance through a knee injury and broken wrist during this training cycle. And then we’ll all meet up in New York to hear my younger son’s high school jazz band play at Carnegie Hall and take a few days to explore the city my husband and I lived in when we were dating.
To say we’re excited for the week would be an understatement! If you’d like to follow along with our New York adventures, be sure to follow my Instagram stories.

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.

Apr 13, 2019 at 5:27 amIsn’t 76 calories too less for a meal? I mean 76 calories can be burned just in a single jog.

Apr 13, 2019 at 11:19 amHi Gabs – You’re absolutely right that 76 calories is not enough for a meal, which is why I mentioned that it just refers to 1 crepe. I assume people will eat more than one and that they will fill or top the crepe with some of the items I suggested, which will also increase the calorie count. It’s simply a starting point to plan your meal around. 🙂
