It is FALL y’all.
I was practically holding my breath through this last heat wave here in Michigan. Yesterday, I could finally open the windows in the morning and feel a cool breeze instead of a wall of humidity. My soul is restored.
While we’re not truly experiencing fall temperatures yet, I think it’s safe to say I can use the oven again. This simple fall meal plan is packed with super foods and tons of vegetables. We all need healthy bodies to learn, grow, and to be as strong as possible to fight illnesses if we do get sick this fall.
That said, I don’t have the time to write and shop for a fresh meal plan every week. Planning meals by the season removes so much stress and decision making. It ensures that even in the fullest of weeks, I can feed our family real food without loosing my mind.
But without further ado, here’s what we’re eating this fall.
Fall Dinners
Monday: Oven roasted salmon with brown rice and stirfried veggies
Tuesday: Chicken tacos with roasted sweet potatoes and avocado
Wednesday: Beef burrito bowls and stirfried veggies
Thursday: Slow cooked vegetable bean soup with homemade bread
Friday: Pasta and spinach salad
Saturday: Roasted root vegetable hash with fried eggs
Sunday: Pizza night
Fall Breakfasts
Oatmeal or Greek yogurt with granola
Fall Packed Lunches
Last year (before school shut down that is) packing school lunches was a huge source of stress for me. I was usually throwing something together in the morning. And the thing with my kids is, they have really fast metabolisms and if they don’t eat a good lunch, I’m dealing with after school monsters. This fall we are committed to packing lunches the night before and I am committed to the kids at least helping pack their own lunch.
They can choose a main course: a sandwich, soup, or rice and beans
Then they can choose 1 morning snack and 2 sides from this list: yogurt cup, fruit, fig bar, rice krispie, or veggie straws
Now, I know as long as I keep those things in the house, school lunches are a breeze.
