Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 70)

Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 70)

Happy Spring my friends! It’s been a crazy busy week, I was at the Indulge Conference in Austin, TX  and stayed at the Four Seasons. We ate breakfast there every morning, I had my first sweet, juicy Texas grapefruit!

When I wasn’t at the conference, the only thing on the agenda was to eat in as many great restaurants as we could in the short trip there. The first place on the list, of course was Torchy’s Tacos – a must for tacos and they have the BEST queso! I need to go back to try everything on the menu. A few other great restaurants that are a must if you visit: La Condesa and Elizabeth Street Cafe. Such a great city, and so many more places I want to try.

Back to meal planning. Meal planning is a great way to get organized before heading to the supermarket to get ready for the week! My breakfast is usually something quick like eggs with fruit, a smoothie or avocado toast. We’re a family of four, so if a recipe serves more, it’s either packed up for everyone’s lunch or eaten the next day as leftovers. If you would like to see some of the previous week’s dinner plans, click here. Have a great week!

Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 70)

Monday:  Cream of Asparagus Soup with grilled cheese.
Tuesday: Blackened Fish Tacos with Cabbage Mango Slaw
Wednesday: Oven “Fried” Breaded Pork Chops with Broccoli and Orzo
Thursday: Braised Cubed Steak with Peppers and Olives (Instant Pot, Slow Cooker and Stove-Top) with brown rice
Friday: Spicy California Shrimp Stack
Saturday: Dinner Out
Sunday: Roasted Boneless Leg of Lamb with roasted asparagus

Go Behind the Scenes and Get Inspired With the Biggest Names in CrossFit

Whether or not you do CrossFit, you have to admit that the CrossFit Games — and the athletes who compete in them — are an incredible thing to behold. Beyond just wondering how the heck people can push themselves that hard and be that strong and have that many abs (it’s insane; it’s like they actually have extra ab muscles), it’s just hella inspiring. And fascinating. How do these people get there? How do they train? Do they have special genes that give them those extra abs? If you’ve ever wondered that and more — or even if you haven’t and …

A Genius Way to Keep Sweat Off Your Car Seat Post Workout

True (gross) story: For weeks my car smelled bad. Like, bad enough that I didn’t want anyone else in it because it smelled like something died in it. Like a pair of gym socks from 1994. It was disgusting. My husband and I searched high and low for the culprit, expecting to find a moldy french fry or aforementioned pair of gym socks from 1994. But, no dice. After a few months of avoiding driving, we realized that it flared up when we left the gym. Especially when it was hot out. Duh. It was our sweat. Our days-old sweat …
