Weekly Meal Plan: Week of May 31

​ ​ Hello and happy Saturday! This week's meal plan includes 4 dinner recipes, one lunch recipe and one breakfast recipe. Enjoy!! I'm hoping these meal plans will help provide some direction on what to cook for the week, or at the very least, some inspiration. Having a plan helps both in terms of not having to think, and ensuring you're getting in an adequate amount of protein and veggies. If you click the link below, you'll find a meal plan and a grocery list to go along with it. Below that, you'll find a clickable link that adds all of the groceries for the recipes to your Amazon/Whole Foods shopping cart, so you don't even have to do the shopping if you don't want to! We're all about working smarter, not harder. ​ ​WEEKLY MEAL PLAN: MAY 31​ Here's what's included: ​Baked Mediterranean Cod: If you love cod and Mediterranean flavors like tomato, olives, red onion, and lemon juice, this recipe is for you. It's light yet filling, and pairs well with your favorite roasted vegetables or even rice. ​Burger Bowl: I've shared this one before and I'll continue to do so because that's how much we love it! It's basically a deconstructed burger -- ground beef, tomatoes, lettuce, red onion -- drizzled with a quick + addicting special sauce. ​Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs: Yes, you can make CRISPY chicken thighs in the oven! The secret? Baking powder. Trust me on this one. ​Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs: Did I just share this recipe a couple of weeks ago? Yes. But here me out: this is THE recipe to make if you need something that's incredibly minimal effort that the whole family will eat. Serve it with a simple side salad and you're good to go! ​Cottage Cheese Chicken Salad: If you want a lighter, more protein-packed version of traditional chicken salad, look no further. This cottage cheese chicken salad uses cottage cheese and just a touch of mayo for a tasty lunch option that's easy to meal prep. ​Mango Chia Pudding: Three cheers for mango season. I didn't come to like mango until later in life, but now it's one of my favorite fruits. Incorporate it into chia pudding for a fiber and protein-filled breakfast (or snack) recipe! And guess what? Now you can add all of the ingredients for these recipes to your shopping cart. To do so, click here to shop.​ If you make any of these recipes, I'd love if you could take a minute out of your day and leave a review. Simply scroll to the bottom of the page, below the recipe card you'll see an area to leave a star rating and a comment. Review help recipe sites SO much, and your support is truly appreciated. Happy cooking! ​

[Day 2: Sourdough Starter Challenge] Stir Your Starter

Hello, Welcome to Day 2 of the Sourdough Starter from Scratch Challenge! Today your job is even simpler than yesterday's: You're simply going to give your starter a stir. Here's your daily video: ​ Don't forget to record your work! Yes, even if all you do is stir :) And remember to keep your starter cozy (see yesterday's email). Bonus: Science Lesson Now that we are a day into our starter building process, let's reflect: What are we actually doing here? When we mix flour and water, we are creating an environment for wild yeasts and bacteria to thrive. Wild yeasts and bacteria exist everywhere, namely in flour, but also in the air and on your hands. As the flour-water mixture sits, the wild yeasts begin searching for food, which they find by way of the starch in the flour, which they then convert to sugar. As the yeasts digest this sugar, they produce two things: carbon dioxide, which makes the starter rise, and alcohol, which the wild bacteria drink up and in turn produce various types of lactic and acetic acids — these acids are what give the bread the sour flavor. Cool, right? The wild yeasts and bacteria work symbiotically to both leaven and flavor our starter and ultimately our bread. As always, if you have any questions, please ask them here.

Happy Cooking,

Alexandra Stafford
