Weekly Meal Plan #7 September 12, 2024
Balsamic Pot Roast + Cashew Chicken Stir Fry + Barbacoa Spiced Pot Roast Bowls + Grilled Chicken Fajita Tacos
Hi friends.
I hope you’re having a fabulous week! Your overwhelming response about soup last week means you will start seeing them soon.
Trying Something New
I had a request from the thread over on the Chat from a long time subscriber. She asked if we could incorporate a roast or chops as an alternative to using only ground meat and chicken breasts.
I’ve used only those two meats because they are quick cooking and budget friendly, however, I’m always open to shifting to make this valuable for all of you.
So this week we are doing a pot roast for one meal then turning the leftovers into Barbacoa Spiced Pot Roast Bowls.
It will require a little planning since pot roasts take anywhere from two hours for Instant Pot to 9 hours for slow cooker from start to finish. Let me know what you think.
