Easy Chana Masala: My Diary of Us

Healthy Eating Meal Plan Week 3

We are three weeks into January and the healthy meal planning is still going strong! I have absolutely loved seeing the recipes you all have been making and how much you have been enjoying these meal plans! We are going to close out the month strong with some more of my favorite recipes to get you through the end of the month! Because you all loved the make it once, eat it twice or three times approach last week, I am including several recipes for breakfast lunch that you can do just that! I aim to make your life easier in the kitchen and I hope this meal plan does just that!

Remember to follow me on Instagram and #mydiaryofus with any recipes that you are making so I can share your meal planning successes!

Now let’s get cooking!

Lunch- Roasted Sumac Chickpea Caesar Salads (simply deconstruct it for kiddos, I promise they will love it too!)

Lunch- Leftovers of choice from one of the dinners this week! There are bound to be a few leftovers lingering in the fridge, don’t let them go to waste!

Dinner- Homemade Meatballs in Marinara— Serve these meatballs over spaghetti or with a big salad and crusty bread for dipping! This is Friday night family dinner done right!

SNACKS:

Gluten Free Pistachio Cranberry Bars—These bars are so so yummy! Perfect for after school snacking and afternoon slumps!

Cherry Vanilla Yogurt Pops— Parks has been all about a popsicle lately, which reminded me of how easy it is to make your own! These pops are healthy enough to eat for breakfast but make a great treat during the day too!

P woke up this morning wanting to make me a Rosie cake (the girl train from Thomas) for my birthday. 🥰 So that’s what we did...even if Rosie is a little smudgey and P went a little heavy on the sprinkles, the excitement he had helping me make a birthday cake (for myself 🤣) made my birthday that much more special. 💖
_
Between the cake, the memories, and my surprise spa morning 🙌 (thanks to my wonderful hubby), I’d say 35 is off to a great start.  Thank you all for the birthday wishes!! It has truly made me feel so loved! And I love each and every one of you right back! 😘
_
P.S. Who needs a fork to eat cake when you can eat it with your hands...
