Remember, theme week style means you DON'T have to come up with new recipes for each day of the week! Much of it is duplicated from week to week, though the variety changes. For example, Thursday night is stirfry, but what you add to it and sauces you use can change to keep it fresh.
Every week, I add:
* 1 totally new recipe to use on a less hectic night of the week (we use Monday). This you make in double, and freeze half for a meal you can add to your freezer collection.
* 1 new crock pot meal - to make ahead
* weekend breakfast fun meals
* a soup and/or salad to make ahead and use for lunch all through the week
A Few Notes About This Week's Meals:
In the BBQ Chicken, you will see a conventionally sold bbq sauce. Please remember, I am trying to keep meals easy for you. According to your needs, please use the sauce right for you. I like to make all my sauces and dressings ahead of time so that I can avoid preservatives and extra sodium and salt. However, in the effort of ease for these theme plans, you may see some conventional convenience ingredients. I ALWAYS encourage you to make your own where you can and time allows.
Chicken Wild Rice Soup - I love love love this recipe. Note that for the reasons listed above, there is a block of conventional cream cheese used. If you have the time to plan ahead, the "cream cheese" I use is from Spero.co and is a sunflower oil cream cheese, thereby making it dairy free and much healthier! If you have the time, here's where you can find it. You will also find a lot of delicious dairy free options, recipes, and products on this site. Happy searching!

Our 2nd weekend breakfast, we take regular oatmeal and balance it into a delicious food function friendly meal.
This week's lunch salad isn't salad at all, but fresh raw veggie cuts with a delicious healthy dip to munch, guilt free!
If you like the thicker more filling satisfying soups, you'll love this one! In the recipe, you'll notice it calls for 1 can of gluten free cream of mushroom soup. Disclaimer, I do make my own, in fact I have a bunch of this made and ready to go in my freezer. In the effort of time for you, I substituted it with simply buying a can from the store. Just know that it is easy to make this and keep around for many uses.
The rest of the week, we use our theme planning guide as usual, Taco Tuesday, Wed crock pot meal, Thur stir fry and Fri family pizza. Wait until you try Wednesday's Coconut Quinoa Curry...so delicious!

This one features a couple favorites, especially for stressful times. With our adrenal balancing pancakes, and vegan crab cakes, both are plant based anti inflammatory rich foods to support adaptive stress processes. Not only are they comforting, but they are nourishing and excellent for reducing chronic inflammation!
On Friday pizza night...we always do Family Friday movie night. We all make homemade pizza together. I make a bunch of crusts ahead of time, bake them, stack them in a pizza box together and then pull out however many I need on pizza night. We top them how we like while we draw from a cup which family member's movie choice is going to get drawn!
This Friday, I included one of my favorite "elite" recipes...very luxury, decadent, surprising. If you want to shake it up, try this recipe and let me know what you think!

Here's another theme week meal plan!
Remember, the name of the game is ease by creating meals that go around the same theme night. This leaves very few new recipes needed, and eases up grocery shopping as a lot of the ingredients stay the same. Check out meal planners 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 for more theme week meal plans!

Monday is the new recipe night, where you make double so you can freeze half for a meal to pull out on a busy night
Tuesday is taco night
Wednesday has you putting a crock pot meal together in the morning, to and ready when you get home
Thursday is stir fry, a great way to use up veg and add meat/beans/tofu/lentils for a quick 15-20 min meal
Friday is homemade pizza and movie. Tip: once a month I make a bunch of gluten free pizza crusts, roll them out and store between parchment paper. The local pizza place let me have one of their boxes, so I just store them in there and take one out each week. There are also great options in the freezer sections now for ready made crusts, just load them up with healthy vegetables and olives and enjoy your family night making memories of Friday family movie night!

Family homemade pizza is Friday
Stirfry Thursday is simple: just pick a builder (meat, bean, lentil or chickpea), add veggies you have leftover in the fridge, and stirfry in 2 tbsp olive oil, adding seasonings like garlic, ginger, salt and pepper, and liquid amino acids(healthy soy sauce) for flavor.
The crock pot meal is a "set it and forget it" so that hot dinner is ready when you get home. This week is "Bourbon Chicken". This chicken can be added to This Week's Salad. The sauce also makes a tasty dressing for salads as well! Let us know how you use it in the comments below!

Happy cooking!
]]>This meal plan follows our "Theme Night" format, reducing time in the kitchen and making eating at home a snap. Two of the nights are according to a continuous theme. For example, Taco Tuesday and Friday Family movie night with homemade pizza.
* This reduces the search for new meals each week
* Family favorites can happen again and again
* you can serve "double duty". For example, many of the ingredients you cut up for Taco Tuesday are usable on Friday pizza, so you can cut once and save time
* any leftover vegetables you cut for tacos and pizza can no be used in Sunday's soup
The rest of the week follows an order as well:
* One night you pick 1 new meal to make for the week. Make double, and freeze half for convenient use later when you don't have time to cook
* One night is a fix and forget crockpot meal before you head off for your day
* One night is stir-fry night which doesn't need a recipe, simply toss choice of vegetables with choice of meat, saute in olive oil, and add any seasons, Bragg's liquid aminos (healthy soy sauce) or sauces.
* Saturday and Sunday allow for family breakfast brunches
* Sunday soup lets you enjoy your day by cooking the meal in the crockpot, eating as you like, and reserving for lunches for the week by separating it out into single serve containers.
