What’s for Dinner? Lemon & Herbs
Meal planning isn’t always the most enjoyable task of your week. So, each week I do my meal planning and share it with you. Now you don’t have to wonder – What’s for Dinner? I also share my shopping list for all of these healthy dinners to save you even more time each week.
What’s for Dinner Recipes this week include: a Pasta, Pork, Veggie, Chicken and some Keto friendly dishes too.
Dinner 1 – Keto Friendly – Since we’re celebrating Chinese New Year, I thought I’d include this Chinese dinner. I’ve been wanting to make this egg roll in a bowl for a while – it looks really simple & yummy! It’s also Keto friendly for our low carb friends.

Dinner 2 – A simple pasta recipe is a great thing to have on hand for busy school nights. Carbonara is a delicious dish and it comes together in moments with just a few ingredients. You can also omit the bacon and make this a meat-free dish.

Dinner 5 – I’m not sure that I’ve ever met anyone that doesn’t like a pulled pork sandwich. I love that you can put it in the slow cooker in the morning and come home at the end of the day to a delicious meal. I just serve this with pickles, cole slaw and potato chips. This is a great way to keep meal time simple when your day is packed with activities.
