Hey,

Now that school is back in session for many of us, I want to share not only this week's delicious meal plan but also a few of my go-to weekend recipes.

Here are 3 recipes that require a bit more time but make the best leftovers during the week (cook once, eat twice):

• ​Instant Pot Beef Roast & Veggies - Enjoy the leftovers for a couple of days.
• ​Spatchcock Whole Chicken - Cut large carrots in half, and roast the carrots on the perimeter of the sheet pan, tossed with oil and salt, along with the chicken. I also make mashed potatoes in the Instant Pot for a side dish.
• Pancakes - Einkorn pancakes, almond-oat pancakes, and sheet pan einkorn pancakes are on rotation each weekend.

Time-Saving Tips:

• ​Almond-Oat Blender Pancakes - Make a double batch on Sunday and enjoy all week for breakfast. I also love to turn the pancakes into pb&j sandwiches for school lunch.
• ​Instant Pot Rice - Make a double batch on Monday night, using some rice for stir-fry and storing extra in the fridge for Tuesday's stuffed peppers.
• ​Yogurt Bowls - Make a yogurt bowl in the morning, adding your favorite fruit and granola. Or, make a few mason jars in advance, filled with yogurt and your favorite fruit, then top with granola before enjoying. I use Greek yogurt for the protein content.
