Bonjour from Paris (meal plan inside)

Published 11 months ago • 1 min read

Bonjour!

I'm currently writing from a cafe in Paris.

My husband works for a network news company covering the Olympic events in Paris. I could not let him experience a Parisian summer alone, so I tagged along. I've also included a few pictures from Paris and been sharing on Instagram, too.

I hope this week's meal plan finds you well and helps ease the week, particularly as many families prepare for the school year.

Meals made in the Instant Pot and prep-ahead breakfasts are great ways to ease the stress of this busy time of year.

This week's plan includes both.

THIS WEEK'S MEAL PLAN

Time-Saving Tips:

  • ​Chicken Teriyaki - Spoon leftover chicken teriyaki into containers with rice and broccoli for an easy lunch this week.
  • ​Rice - Prep a big batch of rice on Monday, then reheat the extras in a saucepan on Thursday with some water.
  • ​Egg Sandwich - Make the egg sandwiches on Sunday, wrap them in parchment, and store them in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds.
  • ​Baked Oatmeal - Prep the oatmeal over the weekend or after dinner one night.
