Meals For The Week // April Week 1

Brighton Keller April week 1 meals

Hi friends! Another week, another recipe post. I’m really getting into this cooking thing. Most of the recipes this week are from two of my favorite authors – The Defined Dish and The Skinny Taste. Duncan and I are also SO excited to have breakfast for dinner!

I love sharing these recipes and I LOVE the community we have created here at BTD. I would love for you all to suggest some of of your favorite meals and/or recipes. Maybe I’ll do a poll on Instagram? Let me know what you think.

What I’m Cooking This Week:

Sunday – Maple Soy Glazed Salmon (Skinny Taste)

My roommate in Texas used to make this and I remember LOVING it. I usually don’t like salmon, but this marinade is AMAZING. I’ll let you know if it’s as good as I remember.

 

Monday – Hibachi Style Chicken with Magic Mustard Sauce (The Defined Dish)

This is the first of two recipes from the defined dish. All of her recipes are so great – both on her blog and in her book. I highly recommend checking her out. With that said, this chicken looks yummy AND healthy. Can’t wait to try!

Tuesday – Baked Mongolian Beef Meatballs (The Defined Dish)

These look so yummy (and they’re pretty healthy)! I think I’ll probably pair the meatballs with some cauliflower fried rice.

Wednesday – Crockpot BBQ Chicken (Family Fresh Meals)

This is a repeat recipe. Duncan loved this one so I thought I would make it again – plus it’s so simple to make. Just throw all the ingredients in the crockpot and in a few hours it’s ready to eat. Plus, I have most of the ingredients in my pantry already.

Thursday – Breakfast For Dinner

I might be most excited for this dinner. I don’t follow an exact recipe. I usually scramble the eggs. Then I spread some avocado on two pieces of toast. I sprinkle some everything but the bagel seasoning on the toast. And I cook bacon in the oven for about 15 minutes. Thats it! Enjoy!
