What's Cookin' Wednesday! Meal planning is my secret. Its no new thing, its just what gets us fed, fueled, and staying halfway sane in the week! Recently I began eating gluten and dairy free, so now planning ahead is even more helpful to me! I am already doing the planning, so I thought sharing with you could help you out too! We gotta stick together, friends.
 

A Few Tips:
I plan out our meals based on days of the weeks just because my brain works that way. Some nights are busier than others, so i can plan around that. But 9 times out of 10 I switch things around last minute. Don't be tied to the day of the week! Just map out how many meals you need, get the groceries, and give yourself flexibility

// Most meals I have recipe links for, but some are just basics. Like spaghetti, make noodles - I do spaghetti squash for me, brown meat, dump on sauce (Rao's from Costco is our fave!) Tacos is always some type of taco meat, and then we will make a chipotle bar out of it!

// Have some faves. I literally make a batch of Buffalo Chicken every week. We store it in the fridge and use it for lunches. Its got 3 ingredients and is stupid easy!

// I do plan our lunches too. I find if I don't, I make unhealthy choices which doesn't serve me well!

Ok, without further ado...

This chicken salad is SO good! We actually ran out of our fave crackers so I ate it with blue tortilla chips, but its even good plain!

The veggie bowls is an old fave of mine I concocted based on some other recipes. I will type it out soon! Its saved in my "EAT" highlight if we're insta friends!

Thursday:  Buffalo Chicken Salad  | Pizza Night

More buffalo chicken! Sorry not sorry! I do a premade gluten free crust for myself, but this other crust recipe is my family's fave!
