This Week’s Tips for Success

Meal Prep Tips:

  • Salmon Patties: Make extra patties and serve them on buns for an easy lunch or dinner later in the week.
  • Grilled Chicken Marinade: Marinate chicken the night before to save time, and keep the leftovers for wraps, salads, or sandwiches the next day. This can be grilled in a skillet indoors.
  • Pesto Sauce: Toss this over your favorite pasta or use it in my slow cooker pesto chicken pasta. It’s perfect with pasta or as a topping for grilled veggies.
  • French Onion Pot Roast: Pot roast is great for leftovers—use the meat for sandwiches or tacos the next day!
  • Peach Upside Down Cake: Make this dessert ahead of time and store it in the fridge for an easy sweet treat whenever you need it.

Recipe Customizations:

  • Pesto Sauce: Not a fan of basil? Try using spinach or arugula for a different flavor in the pesto.
  • Hamburger Gravy: Add mushrooms or onions to the gravy for extra flavor and texture.
  • Peach Upside Down Cake: Try using nectarines or plums instead of peaches for a fun twist on this classic cake.

Each meal plan includes five dinner recipes the whole family will love, with a nice variety to keep things interesting. Add a side dish or salad, and you have a complete meal!
