The Dietitian’s Meal Plan for the Week of September 13, 2021

Meal One

Blackened Tilapia Baja Tacos, Broccoli

Omit or decrease the ground red pepper for a less spicy version. Add shredded cabbage for a little more crunch.

Meal Two

Oven Fried Chicken Tenders, Baked Sweet Potatoes, Green Beans

One of my daughter’s favorite meals! For a slightly healthier version, substitute olive oil for half the butter. Cook the sweet potatoes in the microwave for a fast meal.

Meal Three

Slow Cooker Vegetarian Pasta Fagioli Soup, Salad

This vegan chili is loaded with flavor and vitamins, and everyone in the family will ask for a second bowl. It’s easy to prepare, takes just over a half hour to get on the table, and the best part? There’s only one pot to clean! Rinse the quinoa well before cooking it.

Slow Cooker Vegetarian Pasta Fagioli Soup, Salad

Pasta, beans, and hearty veggies mingle with a tasty Italian-seasoned broth for a simple and happy-making soup. Add cooked ground beef for the carnivores and they’re extra happy!

Meal Five

Spaghetti Squash with Turkey Meatballs, Salad

Cooking the squash first in the microwave and then in a skillet to cook off the extra moisture, gives the squash a more spaghetti-like texture.
