Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • For Monday's meal, toss chicken, potatoes, and carrots with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  • For Tuesday's meal, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon fillets and asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh dill. Top salmon with lemon slices. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and asparagus is tender-crisp.
  • For Wednesday's meal, cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta cooks, sauté chicken pieces in olive oil in a large skillet until browned. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach. Bring to a simmer and cook until spinach wilts and sauce thickens slightly. Stir in cooked pasta and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For Thursday's meal, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, mash black beans with breadcrumbs, red onion, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Form into patties. For sweet potato fries, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake fries for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. Cook burgers in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until heated through. Serve burgers on buns with your favorite toppings.
  • For Friday's meal, preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Stretch pizza dough into desired shape. Spread with pizza sauce, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and add your favorite toppings. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
  • For Saturday's meal, in a slow cooker, combine beef cubes, beef broth, diced tomatoes, carrots, celery, and onion. Stir in flour, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until beef is tender.
  • For Sunday's meal, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Season pork loin roast. Place broccoli florets on a baking sheet, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast pork for about 20-25 minutes per pound, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Roast broccoli for 15-20 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
