Week 35 Meal Plan Summary

Important Notes for This Week’s Meal Prep
  • Day 1: For the Marinated Cucumber Salad, ensure you allow sufficient time for the salad to chill. This crucial step allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the cucumbers to achieve their crisp, refreshing texture. Aim for at least 30 minutes to an hour in the refrigerator.
  • Day 2 & 4: Plan ahead to let your meats marinate for optimal flavor and tenderness. The Basil Lime Chicken on Day 2 and the Beef Kabobs on Day 4 will benefit immensely from several hours, or ideally, an overnight soak in their respective marinades. This tenderizing process is key to achieving succulent results.
  • Day 5: For the delicious Burritos Mojados, remember to plan ahead to let the beans soak. Proper soaking reduces cooking time and aids in digestion, ensuring your burritos are as perfect as they can be.

  • Apple Cheddar Melts
  • Marinated Cucumber Salad
  • Potato Chips

Apple Cheddar Melt

Enjoy the taste of fall with these incredibly easy open-faced Apple Cheddar Melts. This delightful sandwich combines crisp apple slices, the satisfying crunch of sunflower seeds, and gooey, melted cheddar cheese atop a slice of bread. It’s a perfect fall lunch or a light, flavorful dinner that comes together in minutes. The balance of sweet apples and sharp cheddar is simply irresistible.

Complementing the melts is a vibrant Marinated Cucumber Salad. This salad is a burst of freshness, offering a cooling counterpoint to the warm sandwich. Its tangy dressing and crisp texture make it a refreshing side dish. Remember the note: allowing it time to chill is key for the flavors to fully develop and for the cucumbers to absorb the marinade, enhancing their refreshing quality. And for a simple, satisfying crunch, a side of Potato Chips rounds out this easygoing meal.

Day 2: Zesty Grills & Fresh Sides

Day 2 brings the vibrant flavors of the grill to your plate, featuring a chicken dish that’s perfect for both immediate enjoyment and future meal prep, accompanied by colorful and flavorful vegetable sides.

Remember, the secret to its deep flavor is allowing the chicken to marinate overnight, so be sure to plan this step ahead for maximum taste.

Accompanying the chicken are two fantastic vegetable dishes. Grilled Corn with Garlic Soy Butter offers a smoky sweetness with a savory, umami-rich twist. Grilling the corn brings out its natural sugars, and the garlic soy butter adds an irresistible depth of flavor that’s hard to beat.
