Your January Meal Plan Is Here!

It's giving cozy with a side of nourishing

Hello and welcome to the scariest Sunday of all, the one that comes right before the first day back to everything—to work, to school, to routine, to “real life,” whatever that means to you.

If you’re anything like me, you feel both very very ready and a smidge terrified. Do I even know how to chop a vegetable any more? What do you mean this family has to be dressed and out of the house before 9 AM?

This week’s meal plan is all about taking it slow, easing us back into routine with a few favorites that are still cozy, but also have some nutritional value. I’ve got two one pot meals, a 30 minute favorite, and one store bought rotisserie chicken that pulls double duty.

The symbols- OP-One Pot, 30- 30 minute meal, GF- Gluten Free, V- Vegetarian

Cheesy Broccoli Orzo + Rotisserie Chicken

This one pot orzo is creamy, cheesy, and full of broccoli, to help us all feel a little bit better about the Christmas cookies. Serve it on it’s own for a vegetarian dinner or pair it with a store bought rotisserie chicken.

Asian Sesame Chicken Salad

This is a copy cat of Panera’s Asian Sesame Salad. I usually marinate some chicken for the salad, but in the interest of saving our time and sanity, you can just easy easily use the leftover rotisserie chicken from the day before. Make it gluten free by omitting the wontons and using tamari instead of soy sauce.

Pasta and Peas

One of my favorite pastas! Frozen peas make the whole thing feel light and fresh, even in the dead of winter. Use pancetta or bacon, or omit them completely for a 30 minute vegetarian meal.

Texas Hash

An easy, cheesy ground beef and rice skillet that’s great on its own or served in tortillas. We like to pair this one with salsa and guacamole or just slices of avocado!

Puff Pastry Pigs in a Blanket

Is this perhaps a holdover of our longing for the appetizer filled days of the holidays? Maybe. But it’s also Friday, and we deserve this ridiculously easy dinner. Pair it with fresh chopped veggies and ranch and the kids will love you forever.
