Menu Plan Monday: Week of January 12, 2015
Menu Plan Monday is back and this week’s menu is filled with nutritious and delicious recipes from the Nutritioulicious archives and Pinterest pages!
We took a little hiatus over the holidays, but we have a menu that rocks this week and we can’t wait to see what you have on yours!
Before we get to what we’ll be eating this week, let me take a minute to direct you to my New Year 2015 post from last week, in which I talk about the primary health and wellness improvement I want to make in the year ahead. I also provide you with some tools from the Bell Institute Health and Nutrition to help you and those you love make healthier choices and eat better in the New Year (full disclosure, the post was sponsored). If you didn’t get to see it last week, take a look today and let me know what improvements you want to make in 2015!
Now, back to this week’s menu, which includes fan and family favorites from last year and a few recipes from fellow bloggers that I found through shared Pinterest boards and Recipe ReDux.

So many great ideas here! Makes me want to get cooking right now – Thanks for including my salad Jessica!
Thanks Anne! I’ve been looking for a good reason to buy the blood oranges!
This menu is making me hungry!! I love black bean and sweet potato combos… and salmon… and lentil soup! Looks amazing 🙂
Thanks Elizabeth!
The Coconut lime chicken sounds fab! So Do the other meals! Yum!
Thanks Rachel! It’s one of our favorites!
Friday’s plan looks….really GOOD!
Thank you Rebecca!
Looks like you’re in store for a delicious week! I’m cooking miso glazed salmon tonight. And later in the week I’ll be making quinoa fried “rice” for my next blog post.
Thanks Sonali! Can’t wait to see the quinoa fried “rice” recipe – I can already tell that’s something I’ll want to make!
Sounds like a delicious week! I made grilled chicken salads tonight and I’ve got tons of veggie that need to be roasted.
Thanks Melanie – that sounds great too!
All of these recipes sound amazing. I am finally getting back on track with more menu planning! One of my goals is to utilize my cookbooks more often. Have a great week!
Thanks Alanna! Good luck getting back on track – was definitely a challenge for me after the holidays, but feels so good to be back!
I need to get better at menu planning this year. Thanks so much for including my Greek lentll soup this week. Hope you like it!
You’re welcome Jeanette! Excited to try it!
You are so organized. I’m jealous. I typically fly by the seat of my pants, and somehow, I always pull off dinner! The salmon wraps from Danielle look amazing…can’t wait to hear how that turns out for you.
Thanks Liz! I don’t even want to think about what would happen if I didn’t plan our menu in advance! One of the few ways I maintain my sanity during the week, lol!
