For Meatless Monday, I love a hearty cheesy cauliflower parmesan. It’s filling and cozy, and I usually serve it alongside parmesan-roasted broccoli—something I make nearly every week.

On Taco Tuesday, sheet pan shrimp nachos are always a hit. They’re simple, crowd-pleasing, and fun to share.

Midweek, my mom’s chicken marsala with almond green beans is a standout. It’s delicious on its own or paired with mashed potatoes or rice.

When the weather turns chilly, Irish stout beef stew with herbed dumplings is the perfect comforting dinner—rich, warming, and satisfying.

For a vegetarian main, butternut squash baked ziti makes a lovely, substantial meal. I recommend serving it with a crisp house salad for extra greens and balance.

To close the week, I like a light and bright fuji apple chicken salad—fresh, crunchy, and easy to throw together. If you bake extra apple chips, they make a great snack throughout the week.

For breakfasts this week I’ll have pumpkin protein pancakes—perfect for fall mornings. For lunches, I’ll prep a batch of grilled vegetable orzo, which reheats beautifully and keeps well for several days.
