Meal Plan 5: January 29 – February 4

Monday: Lasagna soup! Just like lasagna but way less time to make. I love the dollops of herby ricotta cheese.

Tuesday: Mujaddara. One of my go-to meals when I have no idea what to cook. Of course with a simple salad and pickles

Wednesday: Chicken shawarma bowls! This week’s newest recipe. So much flavor in each bite!

Thursday: Butternut squash mac and cheese! It’s still winter, peeps. Let’s use up some beautiful winter produce.

Friday: Lemon chicken orzo soup to cozy up to after a long week.

Saturday: Sayadieh, one of my favorite and simplest meals. So good with salata falahiyeh – Arab farmers salad!

Breakfast: Fuul mudammas. One of my all time favorite breakfasts! If you’ve never had it, it’s like hummus made with fava beans. Lately we’ve been making it without tahini, but I have a recipe up for both.

Dessert: Simple apple cake to enjoy throughout the week.
