Cook With Me | This Week's Meal Plan

Low Country No Boil
I really wanted the Low Country Boil meal without the actual pot of boiling liquid. Instead, I sautéed some shrimp, griddled some corn, and cooked up a Aidell's chicken maple sausage. Not pictured are the roasting potatoes that took significantly longer to cook than the rest of the meal. This was very simple, and we just seasoned everything with Old Bay. 


Stovetop Chili
Having this cook on the stovetop all day was almost torture! It smelled so good. I've been making this chili for years and don't really have a recipe to share. I did use ground turkey this time. Normally, I use light and dark kidney beans, pinto beans, ground beef or turkey, diced onion, diced green bell pepper, and then diced tomato and tomato sauce. For seasonings I use chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper, and then usually a dash of cinnamon. 

Our Place Perfect Pot

Breakfast For Dinner
Do you guys ever do breakfast for dinner? I love breakfast foods, so this is always a favorite. Plus, it's a good way to use up stuff. I had extra potatoes and extra sausages from previous meals I wanted to use. I roasted the potatoes for about 20 minutes, scrambled up some eggs and cooked the chicken apple sausages. We started buying those Aidell sausages when we did Whole30 last year and we still love them. 


Cobb Salads with Grilled Chicken
We grilled steaks with my parents over the weekend, and I asked my dad if he would grill up some chicken for me to have for the week ahead. We make this cobb salad recipe all the time, but this time we used that grilled chicken and a Primal Kitchen dressing we had on hand. Just delicious! 


Santa Fe Salads
We've been making this Defined Dish recipe for ages - at least in some variation. This time we used the last of our leftover grilled chicken. The dressing is just awesome!


Hopefully this gave you a few meal ideas for your week! At the very least, my future self will appreciate this post when I get into an inevitable rut. One tool I love to use when meal planning is Plan to Eat! It's an awesome way to store your recipes, curate your meal plan, and even generate grocery lists. It is a paid app, but I have a referral link for you to use for a free trial! It's a great time to start the trial because they always do an awesome sale for Black Friday. (That's when I renew!)
