The meal plan for this week features five meals with amazing side dishes. The Italian Roasted Cauliflower is SO GOOD and the Scalloped Potatoes steal the show every time.
To hear me walk you through this meal plan, listen to the end of Time Management Insider: E13 – Focus On Side Dishes for Easy Meal Planning by clicking the orange and black play button below, or search for Time Management Insider wherever you get your podcasts. In this episode I also talk with Xylina Jimenez, a busy working mom who doesn’t love cooking but finds ways to do it anyways, both for her family and for a homeless shelter too.
