Hey Reader,

I always treat the week before Easter as a bit of a “keep it simple” week, knowing that between family dinners, treats, and a different routine, things are about to get a little off track.

So this meal plan is here to make your week easier with simple, balanced dinners you don’t have to overthink.

A quick heads up that the protein powder company I love (Equip Protein) is on their final hours of a mega sale since they launched a new flavor (Mocha!!!!).

If you've ever wanted to try beef protein powder (no bloating, literally the BEST), you can save 20% off with code mamabear until this afternoon! This protein has literally been a game-changer for me (read more on why).

  • Salmon Poke Bowl: Make sure to flip the salmon in the air fryer halfway through cooking so that it cooks evenly on all sides. You want it to have an almost blackened look to it.
  • Cranberry Chicken Thighs: Don’t overlook scraping off a bit of marinade and re-brushing with oil. It gives the skin the BEST golden, crunchy top.
  • Turkey pasta: Fresh spinach works best, and we prefer baby spinach. If you’re using frozen spinach, it will need to be thawed and drained/squeezed first so as not to add extra water to the dish.
  • Mini meatloaves: If you want a stickier glaze on top, broil everything for 1-2 minutes but keep a close eye on the meatloaf and veggies so that they don’t burn.
  • Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas: To thaw quickly: use the cold water method. Place frozen shrimp into a zippable bag, then submerge them in a large bowl of cold water for 10-20 minutes, until thawed.

​FYI the meatloaf saved my night! I made them Sunday and was SO thankful they were done because we ended up with 4 activities that night (I have three kids, you do the math lol)
