Busy busy weeks call for easy recipes! After taking a wonderful trip to Mexico City last week and then being thrown back into busy life, I appreciate the habit of meal planning more than ever. This week I’ve got several easy and flavorful recipes to get us through most of the week ahead. I hope you try one of them and enjoy as much as we do!
Cheers,

Roasted Grass-fed Meatballs – a freezer staple for us. I am making a new batch and freezing half for another day. Serving these with sauce and a pile of steamed broccoli or roasted brussels sprouts is my favorite way to eat them. My kids enjoy tucking these into garlic bread and making a sandwich out of it. Broccoli on the side, of course.
BBQ Sweet Potato Chickpea Tacos – I absolutely love the flavor combo or smoky, spicy with a hint of sweetness. This is a trusted website I use frequently and I don’t have to look long before I find something new and interesting to make. I followed the directions as written (except for doubling the spices and sweet potatoes) and served the taco filling inside a blistered Siete Almond Flour tortilla. Delicious! My kids even enjoyed it. Sliced avocado would be a nice addition.
Noodle-Free Chicken Pad Thai- Inspired – Trying this new recipe! I love skillet meals and so does my family. They are easy to prepare ahead of time – makes it easy to all serve ourselves when we are hungry or scoop some and put it in a warm thermos for a healthy meal on the go. Serve plain, over steamed rice or on a pile of chopped greens.
Chicken Rice Immune Boosting Soup – This is my new favorite feel good soup. Based off a “flu bomb” drink recipe my friend gave me, I turned it into a delicious and nourishing bowl of soup. Made in an Instant Pot, it is a simple, quick, yet deeply flavored soup. I was extra hungry for dinner one night and accompanied the soup with a Spa Crunch Salad on the side. It was a great meal!
