the ✨summer is here✨ meal plan

this week's meal plan with a PDF grocery list!

Happy Friday! First of all, if you’re new here, welcome! I’m so excited to have you and if you’re looking for something specific, you can always reference this post.

FINALLY we’ve had a run of beautiful weather here in Boston and I’m so happy about it—you might be able to tell from the meals I picked out for this week’s meal plan ☀️ I spent all winter telling Brian how we need to move somewhere warm when our lease is up next May, and have spent the last week telling him that I never want to leave Boston. All the outdoor nature walks, 8pm sunsets, farmers market trips, and Copley sun-spot sploots have made me forget all about how brutal Boston winters can be, and as I’m writing this, I can confidently say I won’t be thinking about that again until approximately December 1st.

Jokes aside, this week has been an exciting one since I shared the newest edition of my budget grocery series on Instagram, TikTok, and finally…YouTube! As much as I love IG and TikTok, there’s so much that happens in my kitchen that I can’t show in such a short format. And after years of making excuses to myself about why now wasn’t the right time to start a YouTube channel, I finally decided to take the leap and start showing you all more of how I make this series and my recipes come to life.

Thank you all for the support and engagement you’ve shown as I launch onto this new platform. Please don’t hesitate to give me feedback on these videos, because at the end of the day, you all are the reason I’m making them, and I want them to be what you want them to be!

I’ll be sending a full recap post out on Sunday so you can easily reference it, but now that all the grocery series craziness is behind us, I am back with another meal plan for this upcoming week!!

Keep scrolling for the full grocery list (including a PDF download) and the recipes for this week. If you want to meal prep breakfast as well, scroll a little further to see what I’m making for breakfast this week, and what you can add to your grocery list to do the same! Scroll even further than that to see my 2-2-2 update where I share 2 more ideas for recipes to make this week, 2 things I’m loving lately, and 2 ingredients I’m incorporating this week.
