Healthy Meal Plan
Phew! We are back from a whirlwind week in Florida! We crammed in sooo much Disney in three days, had a family wedding weekend and promptly ended up in a FL urgent care with a double ear infection diagnosis for my son on the last day! Needless to say we are all still in major exhaustion mode. But oh what fun!
Soooo for this week we have a crazy easy meal plan for you because, well, Halloween on a Monday. I have a feeling we will be dragging for quite a while!
For Halloween, we love doing a big pot of soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. If you end up ordering pizza, though, there is plenty of yellow and blue on this plan to accommodate that. Do what makes sense for your family – it is only one day! Need something for your sweet tooth? Try my BRAND NEW Pumpkin Cheesecake Cups or some Homemade Reeses’s Peanut Butter Cups!
If you need a lunch idea – I am thinking of leftover tomato soup on some days and making a batch of Instant Pot Lentil Sloppy Joes for the other days.
ICYMI, we love to use the meal plans leading up to Thanksgiving as a way to preview side dishes that you might want to include in your Turkey Day menu. This week is the reader favorite, Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese! Have you tried it yet? It is crazy easy and SUCH a crowd pleaser!

The Instant Pot Tomato Soup makes 6 servings, so a great option for lunch leftovers.
Also, I have been craving Lentil Sloppy Joes and since my kids do not appreciate this, it sounds like a great lunch idea!
When I meal plan I always start by planning my dinners. Then breakfast, then lunch. And finally, I fill in my snacks for the day with my remaining macros, points, or containers.

It’s still important to follow the 21 Day Fix plan on Saturdays and Sundays for optimal results, but you will likely have leftover meals and ingredients after following this healthy weekly meal plan. And, so, to eliminate food waste, take inventory of your fridge and pantry at the end of the week and create a plan for the weekend. Many people like to get some healthy takeout one night – think yummy salads with grilled protein or a slice of veggie pizza – and we have this helpful Healthy Weekend Meals post to help you even more!
