\"super<\/a><\/p>\n

Don’t you just love this\u00a0super cute menu planner my friend Rachel Mahan designed? It comes in a few colors and you can get one of your own at\u00a0her Etsy shop<\/a>! You can put it in a frame or laminate it and fill it in with a dry-erase marker. And this week only, Bet On Dinner readers can even get 10% off with the coupon code BET10. How fun is that?? Thanks, Rachel!<\/p>\n

I’m a big proponent of meal planning to alleviate dinnertime stress, so welcome to a new type of post – the Meal Plan of the Month! Like I mentioned in this post on meal planning<\/a>, I usually plan and shop for 5 meals per week so that if our plans change, I don’t end up with food going to waste. This week, we had dinner with friends one night and a leftovers night in addition to these meals.<\/p>\n

\"jalapeno<\/a><\/p>\n

#1 – Jalapeno-cheddar turkey burgers<\/a>, guacamole, coconut oil roasted sweet potato bites, steam-in-the-bag broccoli<\/p>\n

\"chicken<\/a><\/p>\n

#2 – Chicken vegetable soup (I made this soup<\/a>, minus noodles and roux, plus frozen peas and corn), whole wheat bread (we get\u00a0the honey whole wheat from Great Harvest Bread Company<\/a> and luuurrrve it)<\/p>\n

\"pork<\/a><\/p>\n

#3 – Pork tenderloin<\/a>, roasted potatoes and butternut squash<\/a> (recipe coming this week!)<\/del>, steamed & pureed cauliflower (no, that’s not two kinds of potatoes on my plate – I wish! – and it’s just seasoned with salt and pepper)<\/p>\n

\"beef<\/a><\/p>\n

#4 – beef and broccoli stir-fry (this was a new to me recipe, and it was good, but not make-it-again good), brown rice<\/a><\/p>\n

#5 – Chipotle. Ahh, Chipotle. Thanks for existing. See this post for my other favorite takeout spots<\/a>!<\/p>\n

It’s cracking\u00a0me up how much broccoli we ate this week – I think I meant to have green beans with our burgers but we didn’t have any.<\/p>\n

So what’s on your menu this week? I’m always on the lookout for dinner inspiration!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
