Hey there reader!
It's been a while since I sent a weekly meal plan. Over the last year, there has been a lot going on behind the scenes here at Organize Yourself Skinny, and I've spent a lot of time updating the blog and thinking hard about the best way to serve you.
Anyway, I discovered that you like these weekly meal plans, and to be honest; I miss sending them. It allows me to check in with you and write without worrying about the Google, Pinterest, or Facebook algorithm, and I can talk directly to you - my reader.
In this Sunday newsletter, you can expect to get a quick recap of my goals for the week, and I'll put together a curated list of recipes for you to try.
I'm not going to share my exact meal plan because I eat many of the same things every week with some new recipes. Instead, I'll comb through the OYS recipes and pull together some recipes I think you should try.
Let's get started!
Goals for this week.
- Drink a smoothie every day. Last week, I stuck to my daily smoothie and felt terrific.
- Eat a mason jar salad five days a week. This keeps the veggie train going.
- Add vegetables to dinner every night. Last week I made a bunch of roasted brussel sprouts and broccoli. I also purchase frozen organic broccoli. No matter what we ate, I also had 1-2 cups of veggies. I loved how my body felt getting in all those fruits and veggies every day.
- Exercise at least four days a week. This week I want to push myself with cardio and toning. Some mornings I feel lazy and do the bare minimum. I want to SWEAT and feel it this week.
What's New?
This month is Celiac Awareness Month. I was diagnosed with Celiac a year ago if you didn't know. As a food blogger, I'm sure you can imagine the challenges I dealt with. Anyway, all of the recipes on the Organize Yourself Skinny blog moving forward are gluten-free, but you can easily adapt for those who can eat gluten.
I ate relatively clean and gluten-free already, so I wasn't overly concerned about adjusting my diet. But, something I was worried about was giving up Italian food. I come from a big Italian American family, and I LOVE enjoying all kinds of Italian recipes on the weekends, especially Sunday dinners.
Over the last year, I learned a lot about gluten-free Italian cooking - and I've become quite good at it.
So much so that I started a brand new blog Gluten Free Italian Eats. All of the recipes on this site are gluten-free. If you are gluten-free and miss Italian food, join me there.
6 Recipes to Try This Week
Later this week is Cinco De Mayo, and Mother's day is on Sunday, so I pulled together some recipes to fit those holidays. Of course, I'm also adding some everyday healthy recipes to help you feel your best, along with a family Sunday dinner recipe

Taco Dip
This is a super easy taco dip to whip up if you're heading to a Cinco De Mayo party this week.
This is our favorite turkey taco recipe, and you make it in the crockpot! It's lean and flavorful, perfect for taco night. You can use this taco meat in tacos, burritos, nachos, enchiladas, and your favorite Mexican-inspired recipes.
These stuffed peppers are delicious and so easy to make. Seasoned ground turkey, black beans, salsa, and brown rice stuffed into a bell pepper for a perfectly portioned-out healthy dinner recipe. You can even use leftover taco meat, and this recipe is easy to make ahead of time.
If you're looking for a tasty baked chicken recipe, this is it. We love this with roasted or steamed broccoli and a side of brown rice, and you can even eat this with a side salad.
Turkey burgers are in regular rotation in my house. They are easy to make and delicious, and we love eating them with roasted ranch potatoes and veggies.
Vegetarian Breakfast Casserole
This egg bake is perfect for Mother's Day. You can assemble the ingredients ahead of time to have them ready to throw in the oven for brunch.
For Sunday Family Dinner
This bolognese takes time, so it's perfect for making on the weekend. It's so delicious and naturally gluten-free. If you want a lighter version, then check out my turkey bolognese. But if you want an authentic bolognese to serve for a weekend family dinner, you have to make it.
Organize Yourself Skinny Facebook Group
Head to the OYS Facebook group for recipe inspiration and meal prep motivation! If your goal is to eat cleaner foods and live a healthier lifestyle, you will find it there.
Also, I've been getting a lot of requests to bring back the live cooking demos. So, starting this week, my goal is to pop in every week or every other week with either a cooking demo or to do a live chat. This week I'm going to talk about and make turkey burgers. Make sure to join the Facebook group so you don't miss it.
