Some of our favorites and the ones we frequent the most are: beef bulgogi bowls, macadamia crusted fish, the turkey meatballs with corn butter rice, the avo cucumber pepper salad with ginger sesame chicken, and spiced chicken
Some of my favs: pork adobo with Mexican cauli rice (it is SO easy & so good, kids also like it!), sheet pan sausage, brussels, shrooms, & last but surely not least jerk chicken thighs (we have a pellet smoker and I throw them on there at 225 for 20/30 min to get the Smokey flavor, and then up it 375 to then get some char on there) with coconut rice (this has become a side staple in my house, it is so damn good).
Sheetpan chicken cauliflower and butternut squash has been on repeat all winter! Good soup, lemony shrimp orzo and sheet pan steak fajitas are also favs. Thank you for taking the stress out of finding recipes each week, they are always a fav in our family!
Cheesy chipotle shrimp tacos-- on repeat in our house! We made them for our friends who moved here from LA and were homesick this winter. One of the kids said "mmmm beachy" after she took her first bite. Other faves: good soup, tempura crunch salmon , farro with sausage and asparagus
Thai chicken chopped salad (THE BEST - also my go-to for bringing meals to friends and always gets raves), roasted sweet potatoes and chickpeas with whipped feta, cauliflower and white bean bowls (you already have this one covered), jalapeno pork chops w/ watermelon salad, salmon crunch bowls!
We make the refried bean tacos almost weekly! Healthy-ish turkey bolognese is always a winner. Creamy creamless tomato soup is on rotation a lot in the winter months too.
Some of our favs here with the toddler are good soup, beef and broccoli, pasta sorta Norma, and tiny tomato pasta. And the pumpkin pasta, any meal that involves a meat ball or can be turned into a meatball and any of the sheet pan gnocchi situations. Basically everything, we haven’t been disappointed yet!
This just reminded me how much I love those chicken flautas! Definitely making them this week…other go-tos are the Greek turkey meatballs with cous cous and dill yogurt sauce, turkey meatballs with corn butter rice, Parmesan pot pie, and roasted asparagus farroto!

Lunch day 3 is a hit!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
--Turkey meatballs with corn rice (our picky 4 year old devours these!)
--one-pot cheesy cajun chicken and rice made & adobo pork & cauliflower rice taco bowls changed my view that cauli rice is sad diet food
--chicken parm burgers
--parmesan pot pie

Hi! New here. Is it possible to print from substack? I can’t operate off my phone when I’m cooking. I like paper!
Yes! Theres a PDF of every recipe, and the meal plan grocery lists.

Souvla salad, Good Soup, and Asparagus Farrotto are probably our top 3!

Hi! I’m new here. Love your work, Caro. Thanks for taking the stress out of meal planning.
Question- is the meal plan for 2 adults? Or 4 people? Or 2 adults and some kids (that may or may not eat depending on what way the wind is blowing)?
Thanks!
GREAT question! It's written for 4 normal to big appetites. So it feeds my family of 5 (3 big appetites, 2 small ones) perfectly.
And the grocery list already includes all of the "double the burgers for lunch the next day" type of notes in the meal plan.
Thank you! And thanks for replying so promptly.

healthy-ish bolognese, 3 bean chili, al pastor enchiladas, turkey cheddar meatloaf, and the greek turkey meatballs with couscous!
My WTC MVPs: spicy (or not) salmon tempura crunch bowls, sheet-pan roasted sweet potatoes and chickpeas, good soup, crispy bean burritos, and healthy-ish turkey bolognese
Green Tortilla Soup - my 3 year and husband love it! So easy and feeds a crowd, great for leftovers.
