Adi has been out of town for a week and a half, and I don’t know how single parents do it. Easy dinners have become essential. All my friends have been telling me to just order in or defrost chicken nuggets, but I can’t do that—I want a delicious meal for myself, too.
To get my kids’ buy-in, my oldest scrolled through years of my TikToks to find recipes she wanted to eat. I also made another spatchcock chicken—a lunch lifesaver. The leftovers are so easy to add to a bowl. Here’s what’s on this week’s meal plan:
Ahi Tuna Snack
ACME’s ahi tuna is so good that my dad and I ate an entire pack as a snack on top of rice cakes. Make sure to get at least two packages when you spot them. The full recipe for our snack is in the PDF!
Ahi Tuna Salad
This salad is absolutely delicious. I really made it for me and my neighbors because I knew my kids wouldn’t eat it. It’s packed with veggies and topped with the same sesame-crusted ahi tuna we had for a snack. The quality is amazing, and the tuna is lightly smoked for extra flavor. (For a vegetarian option, the salad is great on its own, and the soba noodles make it filling.)
