I totally slacked last month and didn’t meal plan for our family, so obviously didn’t have one to share! The spring is just insane here and I didn’t want to feel like I had to stick to a plan. The same thing is happening this month, but I didn’t want to be as unprepared as I was in April. We had too many days of eating out and not eating the healthiest. For my May meal plan, I’m following my own December no-plan meal plan. I’m going to have some go-tos ready to make, as well as trying some new Pinterest finds.
Go-to quick meals:
Spaghetti Squash Taco Boats – I will serve the kids in shells or wraps
Burger Night: We mix diced jalapeños and sometimes blue cheese into the meat before grilling, then eat it on a lettuce bun with home made fries.
Sheetpan Honey Dijon Chicken – The recipe uses pork loin, but I use chicken breasts and skip the brining. It’s so good and perfect for company.
Sheetpan Sausage and Veggies – You can’t mess this up, using whatever veggies/potatoes you want. I use chicken sausage from Aidells (at Costco and BJs) or Trader Joes. It’s also delicious for breakfast the next day with a sunny side up egg on it!
Fajita Bowls – Bake the chicken and veggies on a sheetpan to make it an easier cleanup and less work!
Buffalo Chicken Casserole: The Hubs and I love this one. I keep some bacon separate and bake some of the sweet potatoes and diced chicken without sauce in a smaller dish for the boys.
Lemon Thyme Crockpot Chicken – I make this literally once a week. It’s so easy and my whole family loves it. Even if it isn’t the prettiest dish!
Pinterest dishes to try:
Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Balsamic Glazed Steak Rolls – These look so perfect for summer!
Vegetarian Power Bowls – We’ll see if I can get The Hubs on board with no meat!
Honey Mustard Chicken with Bacon – will use coconut milk instead of regular
The Hubs is traveling a bit, my mom is coming for a week, my whole family is coming for Memorial Day and we’re going back to Atlanta for the Mets makeup game. Both boys have several baseball games, practices and I have my half marathon this weekend. I don’t have time to be in the kitchen a lot, so I hope having a few good options for a May meal plan will keep it simple, but also healthy during such a busy time!
Have you tried any great recipes that I should try? I’d love to hear them!
Hi,
Will you link to the actual recipes you use? When I click on links, Pinterest options come up so I’m not sure which recipe you’re using for the Honey Dijon Chicken for example. Thanks!
If you click on the image when it goes to Pinterest, it takes you right there! I link to Pinterest because people love to save them to their own boards!
