Hi Reader,

We've reached "scream in your car each time you get inside" levels of cold here in the Midwest. 🥶

With that in mind, I've put together another cozy week of comforting meals with just enough freshness peppered in to keep dinnertime balanced.

Here's what's on tap:

🍽 Weekly Meal Plan

1️⃣ Cheesy Chicken Burrito Skillet​

2️⃣ Gluten Free Lasagna Soup​

3️⃣ Chicken Fajita Cheeseburgers​

4️⃣ Mini BBQ Cheddar Meatloaves

5️⃣ Chicken Caesar Salad Pasta​

📆 Let's Break it Down

#1 Cheesy Chicken Burrito Skillet

My kids love places like Pancheros and Chipotle — but my gosh, the cost! 💸 Get all the goodness of a giant stuffed burrito for way less using this satisfying, one-skillet meal. No extra sides needed.

#2 Gluten Free Lasagna Soup

This brand new recipe tastes like a cheesy square of lasagna in soup form. 🤤 A dead ringer for the real thing, and ready in just 30 minutes. Serve with Air Fryer Green Beans, steamed broccoli, or wam Focaccia.

#3 Chicken Fajita Cheeseburgers

I like Canyon Bakehouse GF buns here, and Trader Joe's GF English Muffins work well too. Whatever you use, toast it for the best texture. I often eat these bunless. (This feels like a Haiku. 😆) Either way, these burgers are cheesy, loaded, and lick-your-plate delicious, Serve with tortilla chips and Restaurant-Style Salsa.

#4 Mini BBQ Cheddar Meatloaves

The original mini meatloaf! These are perfect to make a few days ahead, then pop into the oven at dinnertime. Serve with sweet potato fries, roasted veggies, or Air Fried Asparagus, and/or Pasta Salad for a family-pleasing meal.

#5 Chicken Caesar Salad Pasta

Why choose between pasta or salad when you can have both? Sometimes I toss the chicken in buffalo sauce before adding it for a little kick. Highly recommend!

crock pot sausage and peppers

Hi Reader, Now that we know which teams are playing in the Super Bowl (RIP Broncos 😭), it’s officially time to plan your game-day menu. Game-day food = FUN in my brain. Unlike the holidays, where we stick to the same classics year after year, the Super Bowl is your excuse to go a little wild. Make the decadent dip. Bake the irresistible cookies. Load up on apps (one...or ten)! No matter who you're rooting for, everyone will cheer for a big spread of fun and delicious gluten free food!...
