Meal Plan #82: Lazy Mom's Meal Plan

The meal plan for this week features five meals that are easy and well-loved. We are cooking Chicken Cordon Bleu Stacks that we will use twice, as well as the easiest shrimp tacos ever.

An orange and beige graphic with the list of recipes for the week and small pictures of each one. The list of recipes with links is given fully in text below.

All of the links to the meal plan recipes are below. To hear me walk you through this meal plan, listen to the end of Jump to Recipe: E82 – Finding Joy in the Chore of Cooking by clicking the play button below, or search for Jump to Recipe wherever you get your podcasts. In this episode I also talk with Life Coach Tracy Pruzan-Roy about how to separate the chore from the joy in cooking so we can feel inspired to cook again.
