Our First Meal Plan 💕

Am I *that* girl now?

It’s the beginning of the year, so my mind is on what I’m committed to being better at in 2025. Every year since becoming a mom, it’s meal planning. So we’re trying something new this week—I want to bring you into my process and share my meal plan with you.

We have an incredible library of delicious recipes that I make on repeat, making small tweaks as I go. Some of the recipes here may look familiar—it’s because I genuinely love them. We’re trying it this way today and want your feedback! Drop your thoughts in the comments below or in the chat.

One final note: I don’t eat breakfast, so this meal plan focuses on lunches and dinners (plus dessert, because I always need a bite of something sweet). It uses ingredients you have to shop your fridge, and as always, the PDF at the bottom includes a shopping list. I hope you love these meals as much as I do. 💕

Day 1

Lunch: Slaw in a Wrap

Fast, easy slaws make the perfect lunch. Biting into the refreshing veggies just makes you feel healthy, you know? This grater makes it so much faster for me, and I love to pair it with crispy tofu for protein. Save the leftover slaw for dinner.

Dinner: Sheet Pan Chicken Tacos

I came home from work last night and spatchcocked a chicken for dinner. We’re still recipe-testing the final version of that, so for this meal I’ve included my sheet pan chicken with extra pieces so you have leftovers.

When I cook for my family, I always build a veggie board to put in the middle of the table for people to grab from. For this meal, it included dill pickles, Castelvetrano olives, chopped dill and parsley, red bell pepper, carrots, leftover steamed broccoli, and 3 little tomatoes I found. My oldest ate all the pickles and olives, no one ate the carrots.

I served it with warmed small tortillas from Trader Joe’s—we always have some in the freezer—and the leftover slaw. Make a taco with shredded chicken, avocado, and slaw, or eat it however you’d like. There are no rules.

Dessert: Nut Butter Stuffed Dates

I can’t eat peanut butter anymore, but I love this nut butter made with cashews and almonds. The Cinnamon Snickerdoodle flavor is my favorite.

Day 2

Lunch: Chicken Salad on Sourdough
