friends, we made it to february. i genuinely think that there’s only 28 days in the month simply because january is 164 days long. we’re seeming to get more light into the evening with each day (thank goodness) but the cold and the snow and the wind are still here. i always figure if we have to deal with that outside, we can take care of ourselves inside. get some movement in, eat well, and get rest.

as with most week’s, this week’s menu was curated by a couple of the resources from gina at skinnytaste. i know i share her recipes each week, but i truly love what she develops. not only can you choose based on method of cooking (can you say “slow cooker?”) but you can also choose recipes based on any specific dietary needs you and your family have. for us, i’m always trying to go with the higher protein options for those two boys we have that are constantly moving! but what i really appreciate? the recipes are accessible and attainable and use real-life ingredients that i actually use (and can pronounce!) gina’s the bestest!

ready for what we have on the schedule for this week? (p.s. we have our sunday football game menu below too!)

monday, 2.2.26: air fryer meatball subs / salad / chips (totally going to admit, this was on the menu last week. we didn’t end up making it, so just moved it to this week!)

tuesday, 2.3.26: one pot fiesta chicken + rice (from the skinnytaste high protein cookbook)

wednesday, 2.4.26: slow cooker lasagna soup / salad / bread (from the skinnytaste fast + slow cookbook)
