This is such an exciting week for our little family because we are taking our oldest two to their first concert, Taylor Swift! So, we will only be in town for a couple of days this week, so as to not leave you hanging I rounded up some tasty meals for you to try!

Cilantro Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa

I will be making this one before we leave, except minus the cilantro because my husband is not a fan at all. Otherwise, looks delicious!

Below are also this week’s Lunch Love Puzzles. Any guesses?! To see them all, follow me HERE and see them every weekday on my Instagram stories.

Mmmm this is a good one! I usually use 2 lbs of turkey sausage for this one.

It’s My Side of Life

Slow Cooker Jalapeno Popper Chicken Taquitos 

I lighten this one up by using reduced-fat or Greek cream cheese, mozzarella cheese and wheat tortillas, and I keep all heat out for the kiddos.

Welcome to another Menu Planning Monday! Here I try to plan out healthy, EASY meals that will get me in and out of that kitchen as quickly as possible while still keeping our palettes satisfied.

This week I get to go be with my family and home-town friends! I am beyond excited about this. So, I won’t be cooking much this week, but thought I would leave you with a few tried-and-true recipes to get you by!

Slow Cooker Jalapeno Popper Chicken Taquitos 

These are really good! I use light cream cheese or the Greek cream cheese, mozzarella, wheat tortillas, and I keep anything hot out of it.

Creme De La Crumb

Million Dollar Spaghetti

I made this a long time ago and we all loved it! I completely forgot about it, but want to make it very soon! I do remember I used nonfat cottage cheese, reduced fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.

TGIF

Kielbasa, Pepper, Onion, and Potato Hash 

This is one of my favorites! I use sweet potatoes and roast them in the oven and then add them in the end.

I am really looking forward to this week’s lineup, and I am actually going to plan what sides we will have with these meals as if I don’t, I am usually scrambling last minute. And that just defeats the purpose of meal planning.

Monday

Baked Spaghetti and Meatballs,

(With baked broccoli (seasoned with coconut oil, salt and pepper) and a bagged green salad)

I made this a few weeks ago with spaghetti squash and it was delicious! I think I will try it with wheat pasta this week.

Tuesday

Turkey Pot Pie Soup

I attempted this a bit ago and it was smelling DIVINE, until I added the coconut cream. For me, it was just too overpowering. I will be making it with regular cream this time and really have high hopes for it.

(Served with wheat Hawaiian rolls)

My family loves honey, so this looks right up our alley.

(Served over cauliflower rice and with asparagus)

This is our LAST full week of summer vacation… SAD! I always start the summer with so many things I want to do, and we only got to about half of them. But, we’ve also spent a good amount of time just being at home, and it has done us all well.
