Description: Hi there, my name is Natasha, and in this video I share my weekly family meal plan. I have previously shared HOW I meal plan in more detail, along with some tips for saving money, and more meal ideas in my meal planning video, which you can watch here: youtu.be/IG1oGTlsm6U As I shared in that video, I normally just plan out our dinners for the week and always cook extra in order to have lunch for the next day. The reason why I don’t meal plan breakfast or lunch is because we always eat the same staple foods and quiet honestly, I don’t have loads of time to cook during the daytime (I work from home and home school). **PLEASE NOTE** THIS VIDEO WAS PREVIOUSLY FILMED. I filmed this 2 months ago, but haven’t uploaded due to recent events. Here’s the MEAL PLAN or MENU I shared in the video: MONDAY - BBQ Tofu, Brussels Sprouts, and Brown Rice (opt: Baked Beans) TUESDAY - 3 Bean Chili (side options: Chips, brown rice, or cornbread) WEDNESDAY - LEFTOVERS or NOURISH BOWLS THURSDAY - Tofu Lettuce Wraps with Spicy Peanut Sauce FRIDAY - LEFT OVERS or COOK one of the SAT/SUN meals SATURDAY - Southwest Burrito Bowls/ Salad w/ “Sofritas” SUNDAY - Lentil Balls, Salad, + Dijon Dressing (optional: eat with pasta or on top of mashed potatoes + gravy) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Check out some of my other content here : VEGAN KETO PLAYLIST : bit.ly/2Hr1J0m Twin Post Partum Fitness Journey : bit.ly/2OJidzJ My Vegan Twin Pregnancy Playlist: bit.ly/2rVcTiT MEAL PREP videos: bit.ly/2BrJ38L - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📸 Follow me on Instagram : @tashas.mom.life 💌 Email me: thatveganmom1@gmail.com Thank you ! :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Here are the ingredients I used for each recipe, feel free to adjust portioning to your family’s needs.
