I am bringing back a favorite series. In the Kitchen- A Weekly Plan is written to help limit the stress that comes with putting a healthy dinner on the table. With busy lives and kids’ practices and activities happening at all hours during the evening, dinner might be the only time we have to look each other in the eye and spend uninterrupted time together. This post provides six meal ideas for you. Pick and choose which recipes work for your family. My hope is that you get at least one meal to add to your menu this week! I have tried them all and provide notes and the link below.
A few things to know in case you are new:
1. I usually make my plan for the week on Saturday.
2. I do all the cooking in my family.
3. My #1 criteria for weeknight meals is quick and easy. No meal I post [unless a Sunday Dinner or a slow cooker meal] will take more than 45 minutes to prepare.
4. All meals are 100% gluten free and dairy free. [Because we are fun like that!]
5. My kids do not eat everything I serve. [And that, my friends, is an entirely different post.]
A Weekly Plan-
1// Chana Masala
This Indian dish was superb. Full of flavor and easy to make. It does call for many spices {some you may not have in your pantry}. Review and grab the spices you need so you are ready. I served with rice.
OMG! Seriously. These tostadas are a new favorite. I might make a variation every week! I used sweet potatoes instead of roasting a pumpkin. The spice was perfect. Crisping the corn tortillas in the oven for just 15 minutes created the perfect base to build upon! TRY THESE!
3// Sweet Potato Hash with Sausage
Breakfast for dinner. My husband loves hash, so this was a crowd pleaser. I added mushrooms for extra texture and flavor.
4// Spicy Sausage, Spinach, and Mushroom Gnocchi
This was my favorite meal! I am a pasta girl and this dish was perfect. So easy and simple, but I loved every bite. I used Capello’s Gluten Free Gnocchi. They are little pillows of potato goodness.
5// Spicy Fish and Potato Soup
This soup has been featured before. It is excellent on cold nights. Quick to make and the white fish provides a healthy protein alternative.
Comfort food at its best. Use a rotisserie deli chicken to make this meal even easier. Add the spices at step 3 instead.

YOU know you will be a huge hit with Mike with the In the Kitchen segment again.
Thanks for having the variety of items on the blog. 😉
Everything looks delish! I think the hash would be something we would add to our comfort food nights. Those tostadas seem like something we would eat all the time!
