It’s a new year, and I’m so relieved to welcome 2021.
This week’s menu is fantastic: nourishing, delicious, and simple to prepare.
What To Eat This Week:
Start Monday with kung pao cauliflower served over jasmine rice. Make extra sauce if you like things saucier — it pairs perfectly with rice and adds bold flavor.
For a cozy dinner, tomato soup with grilled cheese sticks is unbeatable. The tomato soup is rich and comforting, and you can use your favorite cheese for the grilled sticks.
Cheesy chicken baked avocados are a warm, satisfying option later in the week. They’re gooey, flavorful, and simple to bake.
I’m bringing back my fall kale salad with Honeycrisp apples one more time this season — crisp, slightly sweet, and perfect alongside many mains.
A cashew shrimp and mango stir-fry makes for an easy, bright meal that reheats well for lunch the next day. The combination of sweet mango and savory cashews keeps it interesting.
Sausage, kale, and gnocchi cooked together in one skillet is a fast, family-friendly dinner. I like smoked turkey sausage, but use any precooked sausage you prefer.
For lunches, I plan to prepare a classic egg salad and a cauliflower-farro salad for variety. Breakfasts will be layered immunity-boosting smoothies or pistachio coconut oatmeal to start the day with flavor and nutrition.
