My son (aka Mr. Picky) has been away for 4 weeks and I am going to pick him up this week.  I cannot WAIT to see him!!  I miss him and all his pickiness so much.  I will not be following this dinner planner since I’ll be traveling, but I am starting to plan for the week I spend with my parents and my sisters and their families.  I am very glad that I started taking notes the last few visits so I can remind myself what meals were great and which ones don’t need to be repeated.  So excited!!  Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Meatless Monday: Charlie Bird’s Farro Salad

Tuesday: Chipotle Shrimp Tacos with Pineapple Slaw from my book

Wednesday:  Roasted Cauliflower and Almond Herb Sauce over pasta of choice, basic tomato salad

Thursday: Asian Turkey Lettuce Cups, (+ roasted sweet potato wedges if you need more)

Friday: California Greek Salad with served with grilled chicken, using this method (make extra for Saturday lunch)

Saturday Lunch:  Middle Eastern Rice Salad using leftover Grilled Chicken

Sunday: Roasted Salmon using this method with side of roasted broccoli and lemon using this method

 

Here’s what you can do ahead if you need to:
