Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 102). Hope everyone had a great week! We decorated the house for Christmas this weekend which really put us in the Spirit! I also kick started the Holidays with my first giveaway, giving away this DeLallo Italian Antipasto Entertaining Collection and the Skinnytaste Fast and Slow Cookbook! This one ends Monday night so be sure to enter for a chance to win!

Pictured above is The Skinnytaste Meal Planner (affiliate link) where I plan my dinners for the week (you can of course use any meal planner). 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.
