DINNER:

Sunday: Maple Soy Salmon with Perfect Brown Rice and Air Fryer Veggies. We get a fresh piece of salmon every week at the farmers market, and itโ€™s insanely delicious.

  1. Thank you for this! Itโ€™s Thursday, and my family of 5 has already had the salmon/salad/pasta puttanesca night, vegeterian chili/cornbread night, and turkey burger and fries night. Having leftovers has also been so helpful for quick lunch additions. All of these have been wonderful!

  2. Hi there, first time to your blog! Particularly love this meal planning post. Would love to see more like it!
