Meals at a glance...

I'm planning a little ahead this week because I have a barefoot training workshop all weekend.  Really excited about meeting Stacey Lei Krauss, the founder of the willPower & grace method.  Perfect opportunity for me to refine my skills and learn from the best!

Fridge is stocked with meals while I'm away.  I froze some lasagna that I had made a few weeks ago for one night and some salad & chicken for Scott to grill the other night.  Now on to the following week...

I'm loving the cooler weather because of all the nice fall dishes we can choose from and create.   Fall vegetables are some of my favorites and my families too.  I love all the different squashes, especially butternut, acorn and pumpkin.  We will incorporate many different kinds of fall vegetables in our meals.  I love to roast them with chicken or separately and use them in soups.

Fall sports are in full spring as is my after school youth fitness classes, so the more I can plan ahead the better.  This week's meals are conducive to the busy schedules and I can prep and make ahead of time which is great.  Some feel good dinners are on the menu for this week...

Monday:  Baked Potato/Sweet potato bar.  A great way to present lots of different vegetables in your meal.   Some of the ones we use are avocados, scallions, broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, spaghetti squash and peppers.

Tuesday:  3-Ingredient Turkey Meatloaf with mashed cauliflower. So easy to make and healthy for you too!

Wednesday:  Vegetarian Chili and homemade cornbread

Thursday:  Roasted chicken with roasted fall vegetables

Friday: homemade pizzas, another great way to introduce a variety of vegetables

Saturday:  sesame spinach salad, our imitation of seaweed salad, and soba noodles, vegetable & shrimp stir fry

Sunday:  spaghetti & meatballs, perfect after spending the day on different fields watching soccer!

As always, please share what's on your table!  If you'd like a recipe from this week's meal selections please do not hesitate to be in touch with me.

Enjoy!
