Hey there. Hope it’s been a good weekend. I’ll have the weekend recap for you tomorrow but I got it together enough today to put together a meal plan for the week and do all the shopping. I’m excited about 0ur week of meals so I wanted to share the plan with you along with last week’s workouts since I don’t do either often anymore.
I got motivated to meal plan this week because I just started receiving Cooking Light again. You’ll find two recipes from recent issues in my meal plan in addition to some recipes from Epicurious (you know it’s my fave source), Serious Eats and Pinch of Yum.
This Week’s Meal Plan
Sunday
Grilled butterflied whole chicken with lemony potato salad and grilled okra
Monday
Coconut-lemongrass chicken noodle bowls
Tuesday
Grilled burgers with leftover potato salad and tomato and cucumber salad with peach dressing
Wednesday
Grilled halibut, baby bok choy and eggpplant with Korean barbecue sauce (I may use another firm white fish because halibut is so expensive!)
Thursday
Out – social stuff
Friday
Spicy fish taco bowls with cilantro lime slaw (except I’m going to sub sauteed shrimp for the fish)
Saturday
TBD

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
