Weekly Meal Plan: April 8-12

This new weekly meal plan series is proving helpful already, I sat down to write it and realized I hadn’t taken meat out of the freezer to defrost yet, so thanks for the reminder! We had our meat delivered from Butcherbox on Friday (it’s organic and grass-fed beef and chicken that comes once/ month) so I take it out of the freezer as needed. So convenient! You can check out the different subscriptions they offer and if you join using this link you’ll get 2lbs of free ground beef in every box for the life of your membership!

Alright, here’s our weekly meal plan:

I also have Simple Mill’s gluten-free chocolate chip cookies that I’ll snack on if I want dessert. I add chopped walnuts to the mix and they are SO stinkin’ good!
**I order pantry staples and snacks (like Simple Mills) from Thrive Market, where they’re cheaper than in-store! They have so many healthier items, I love browsing all of the options and knowing I’m saving money. Get 25% off your first order by using this link!
