Happy Tuesday Lovelies!
Is everyones week off to a wonderful start? I hope so!
The weather here in Minneapolis has been beautiful, makes me want to be outside 24/7!
I am in love with my morning/afternoon walking to and from work work, gives me a little extra time in the beautiful weather!
Since I am now living on my own I have to get back in the swing of cooking for one! This means smaller portions (making half a recipe), and eating leftovers! But don't worry I am still doing the pin challenge! I actually send my weekly meal plan to my parents and my sister, complete sometimes with the grocery list!
This week I am focusing on meals that will be easy to pack in my lunch box! I also realized that I picked a lot of meatless/veggie packed dishes! Most of the recipes I picked for the week you could add in your choice of protein if you want a little extra!
So lets kick it off with Zucchini Enchiladas from Skinny Taste!
I have been wanting to make these forever! They just sound deliciou, and spicy food is what I have been craving recently!
Salads are an easy lunch box staple for me! So this week I thought why not make a huge quinoa salad to have on hand!
Next up how about some spaghetti squash?
I love baking my spaghetti squash ahead of time!! This helps cut down cooking time, because the last thing I want to do after work is wait 45 min for my spaghetti squash to bake!
And last but not least how about some fresh fish!
I am thinking of serving the fish over a simple green salad or some brown rice! Either way I think this dish is going to be delicious!
Any recipes catching your eye this week?
How do you cook for one?
These zucchini enchiladas look soo good! It always takes a while for me to get into meal planning and packing my lunch after I start a new job. Glad you are enjoying it!

Do you have a basic recipe that you use for spaghetti squash? I'm making my first spaghetti squash recipe this week, and I'm really excited, but wondering about doing it as a make ahead and reheating it for when we plan to eat it...?
ReplyDeleteThose recipes look delicious!! I'd have to opt for the quinoa salad since I cut out bread for a while....I'm trying to find some healthy alternatives to the crap I usually eat haha
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your recipe challenge this week :)
