This week’s meal plan honors one of the most popular recipes on my sites, Perfectly Roasted Pork. Instead though, we’re doing the more weeknight-feasible Instant Pot version for dinner one night, and then using the leftovers to make other recipes throughout the week, including Pork Fried Rice and Cuban Sandwiches. Scroll down for the meal plan, and to listen to this week’s episode of Jump to Recipe!

The links to the recipes in this week’s meal plan are below. To listen to me me walk you through this meal plan, listen to the end of Jump to Recipe: E102 – Toni Dash: From Locavore to Professional Nutritionist by clicking the play button below, or search for Jump to Recipe wherever you get your podcasts.
In this episode I go back to my blogging roots by talking with a food blogger who has been around just as long, Toni Dash! I’ve always loved Toni’s story about challenging herself to be a locavore for a full year in Colorado, and how that passion turned into an incredible career with her original site, Boulder Locavore, and now as a Certified Nutritionist and her newest site Make It Skinny Please.
