7 Day Healthy Meal Planning
Sum-sum-summertime!!!!! It’s almost here!! It’s almost here! You don’t, not me! Let’s get outside and grill! Sides that can be prepared ahead of time are a must for me when we’re grilling outdoors on those cold evenings. Some of my go-to’s are Farro Salad With Feta, Cucumber and Sun Dried Tomatoes, Lemon-Parsley Potato Packets and my Perfectly Grilled Zucchini. You can also make it simple and serve it with my Basil Green Goddess Salad dressing.
With grocery prices on the rise, many people are forced to adjust, scale back, and/or be more creative with their meals.
