If you need some dinner ideas, here’s what I cooked this week! I made one of our favorite Sunday crockpot meals, a new high protein recipe, and a tried and true quick weeknight meal. 

Our weekly menu will give you some good dinner ideas! Here’s a quick review of what I cooked this week for our family dinners.

MONDAY: breakfast tacos. 

  • We love breakfast for dinner, and this was a super easy and yummy breakfast that wasn’t our normal pancakes or waffles.

TUESDAY: Steak fajitas. 

  • I’ve been making THESE Chicken Fajitas for years, but we decided to switch it up and make steak fajitas. Yummy and healthy!

WEDNESDAY: Cajun air fryer chicken with Caesar salad

  • I planned to make something else for Wednesday, but ended up not having the groceries I needed. So I pivoted it at the last minute and made some cajun air fryer chicken. Air fryers make everything cook super fast and still be yummy, tender on the inside, and crispy on the outside.

THURSDAY: Keto Chicken Parmesan Casserole

  • PW found this recipe last week and asked me to make it. He loves chicken parmesan, and this was a high protein, lower carb option, and it was good and super easy.

FRIDAY: pizza party

  • Friday was our last day of school for the year, so we threw a pool party with some friends!

SATURDAY: out to eat

SUNDAY: Green Chile Pork 

  • I’ve been making this recipe for years and it’s one of our very favorites. It’s a little bit labor intensive to get prepped, but the result is incredible. Highly recommend.

Weekly Menu, August 25-31

Weekly Menu (1)

This week I used ChatGPT to make a menu for me again, and it made making dinner easier than ever. I asked for Macro-Friendly dinners, and here’s what it picked for dinners this week. 

 

Last week, in an effort to save my sanity at 5pm everyday, I asked ChatGPT to make a menu for me.

Here’s the prompt I gave it:

“Create a 14 day macro friendly meal plan for a (*your weight*) lb woman that is intermittent fasting, so no breakfast, only lunch, snack, and dinner. Make the lunches easy to make ahead, and sometimes the same meal so it’s easy to batch cook once and have a few days of lunches.”

It gave me a big list of dinner ideas, and I used them as starting points to make dinners that I knew my family would eat and like.

 

MONDAY – Baked Cod with Wild Rice and Veggies

TUESDAY – Turkey Meatballs and Spaghetti Squash with Marinara Sauce

  • I did a combination of ground turkey and ground beef for a little more flavor. I used THIS RECIPE.

WEDNESDAY – Steak and Egg veggie bowl with salsa

  • We had leftover steak from Sunday dinner, so this meal was perfect. I did mushrooms, onions, and spinach in the eggs, and did half full eggs and half egg whites. I didn’t use a recipe, but it turned out great!

THURSDAY – Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl

  • I did rice, cucumber, edamame and avocado, basically using THIS RECIPE.

FRIDAY — pizza

  • Friday is our pizza and movie night. I use THIS RECIPE for our pizza dough.

SATURDAY — Date night

SUNDAY — Roast
