Happy February! Stay warm and cozy my Boston friends. Get some soup and hot chocolate going and have fun in the snow!
We are making some new dishes and bringing back old favorites this week. Now is a great time to write down some of your family’s favorite dinners so you have a quick cheat sheet for those week’s when you don’t have time to create a meal plan from scratch.
Dinner
- Turkey White Bean Chili from shutterbean (recipe). Great for a Sunday as it’s a stovetop chili, not a slow cooker recipe.
- 5 Ingredient Garlic Rosemary Roasted Chicken (recipe). This looks great for a weeknight and then use leftovers for salads or quesadillas.
- My favorite slow cooker recipe is this one. I’m so ready to make it next week as I see lots of cold weather on its way. Warning- it’s a little labor intensive at the beginning, but so worth it at the end.
- White bean and mushroom stew-another oldie but goodie. (even I go through my old meal plans to get ideas, this soup recipe is a love and great with a baguette on the side.)
Lunch
- I picked up two books from the library to have the kids look through this weekend and choose some new lunch ideas. One is Everyday Bento and the other is Best Lunch Box Ever. The kids are in anti-sandwich mode so I’m also referring back to this post I wrote about non-sandwich lunch ideas and the ebook.
Breakfast
- Blueberry Breakfast Quinoa (recipe). Isn’t the photo below amazing?!
Snacks
- Sunshine Smoothie from thefauxmartha. (recipe) This was so good!
- Pumpkin muffins…I’ve made these for years and I clearly need to retake some pictures for this recipe post!
p.s. don’t forget Valentine’s day is coming up! Make some plans now for next weekend. Enjoy.

Which reminds me – I’m yet to create our February meal plan which ought to be healthy as well.
