Weekly Meal Plan 5/16/22 – 5/22/22

Summer basically arrived overnight with 90 degree temps in Wisconsin.  As we inch closer to Memorial Day and the warm weather has definitely arrived, we’re sneaking in more grilling recipes and a few refreshing favorites into our meal plan this week.

Notes from this week’s meal plan:

5 Ingredient Banana Pistachio Coconut Smoothie

• If using fresh banana add in 1/2 cup of ice.  If you want the smoothie super smooth, you could blend the pistachios and coconut flakes on high, creating almost a powder, before adding the other ingredients and blending again.

Balsamic Grilled Vegetables Recipe

• These balsamic veggies can be cooked via stovetop, grill or oven.
• Use this grill basket/pan for great results – you’ll use it all summer long!
• Customize this recipe to whatever vegetables you have on hand

Tres Leches Banana Pancakes

• No additional sweetener is added to this recipe because it uses ripe bananas and tres leches sauce – both of which add a touch of sweetness already.

• I love using this panini press to make this sandwich!

Quick and Easy Chicken Tacos with Pineapple Salsa

• You could grill the chicken for these tacos and if grilling the chicken, I would recommend leaving the chicken breasts whole and not slicing the chicken into small pieces.

Egg Cups

• You can use any vegetables you have on hand
• These are great to prepare ahead of time, freeze and defrost whenever you’re ready to eat them

Easy Cucumber Salad

• You can use red wine vinegar in place of the rice wine vinegar, it’s really whatever you have on hand.
• The only things I don’t count as “ingredients” are salt, pepper, and water because chances are, you have those somewhere in your house. I consider those “free” ingredients.

5 Ingredient Overnight Vanilla Oats

• This is a great no-cook breakfast!  The oats simple absorb the liquid and that’s it!
• Top with brown sugar and walnuts (you could maple syrup instead of brown sugar as a sweetener and pecans or almonds instead of walnuts).
• Customize this grab and go breakfast for everyone in the house
