MONDAY: Tortellini & Chickpea Italian Soup

The perfect meatless Monday meal to make because you can bring leftovers for lunch all week long! The flavors only get better as they marinate in the fridge. Make a batch over the weekend and you’ve got dinner Monday and lunch for the week!

• Serves: 4-6
• Done in: 25 minutes
• Tips: Serve with a nice hearty piece of crusty bread to mop up all that delicious broth after you’re done.

TUESDAY: Easy spiralized veggies & turkey marinara

This easy dish combined spiralized veggies, lean turkey breast and loads of flavor for a comforting dish perfect for cooler weather! Serve it up as is with a hearty roll, pair it with your favorite grain or throw it on top of a pizza crust!

• Serves: 3-4
• Done in: 25 minutes
• Tips: Serve it up as is with a hearty roll, pair it with your favorite grain or throw it on top of a pizza crust (or in a calzone!). And don’t worry if you don’t have a spiralizer, you can just dice the veggies!

WEDNESDAY: Whole wheat black bean, corn & sweet potato quesadillas

These vegetarian quesadillas are a total crowd-pleaser and they couldn’t be easier to pull together! Serve them up with some chips and guac for a Mexican-style meal everyone will love.

• Serves: 2 (can easily serve more)
• Done in: 30 minutes (10, if you’ve pre-roasted the sweet potatoes)
• Tips: Serve with all your favorite quesadilla dips (salsa, yogurt, guac) and you’ve got yourself a fully balanced meal!

THURSDAY: Caprese chicken with side salads

A super simple but delicious weeknight meal. Use store-bought breaded chicken breasts or make your own – either way this dish takes mere minutes to pull together and is full of flavor!

• Serves: 2
• Done in: 15 minutes
• Tips: Use store-bought breaded chicken breasts (I love Applegate Farms) or make your own. Serve it alongside a grain, with a side salad or some steamed veggies to keep it really easy!

FRIDAY: Weeknight Baked Gnocchi

This easy, cheesy baked gnocchi comes together in just about 30 minutes making it a perfect Friday night meal!

• Serves: 4-6
• Done in: 35 minutes
• Tips: You can serve this up as is or with side salads, crusty bread and wine to make it feel really special!
