Yes, love this, Lindsay! I love meals that don’t have a ton of ingredients because 1) it’s less stuff for me to buy and 2) they generally take less time to prepare and make. Thanks for rounding up all these great recipes (and for making a beautiful collage so I can pin this post :D)!
Everything looks amazing! I’m hungry now lol. Definitely will be trying the panini and sweet potato chili.

Love this post! That avocado tuna melt is first on my list. 🙂
This is brilliant!! I always struggle to put together a comprehensive meal plan like this!
Yay for 5 ingredient meals! And woa – what a mouthwatering selection this is – I dunno where to start – maybe with that sweet & spicy bacon chicken…
Thanks! Great inspiration as always, and I love your meal prep tips!
AWESOME! This made me so happy…and so hungry! I’ve been needing some fresh ideas.
I am definitely a fan of small recipes. That breakfast sweet potato looks pretty unique so I think I’ll try that one first. Thanks for the suggestions!
