<\/noscript><\/p>\n7 Day Healthy Meal Plan<\/h2>\n October brings pumpkins, beautiful fall leaves and cool nights. On those nights, I love to be able to have a warm, comforting bowl of soup! If you are looking for one that will be ready when you get home- try my Slow Cooker Butternut Pear Soup. Want to prepare it after work? Try my Instant Pot Turkey Meatball and Ditalini Soup. Or check out one of my most popular soups- Beef, Tomato and Acini di Pepe Soup\u2013 with three cooking options! Round it all off with a salad or some garlic knots!<\/p>\nWith grocery prices soaring, many of us are having to adjust, scale back and\/or get more creative with our meals. One of the absolute BEST ways to stay within a budget and maintain healthy eating habits is to MEAL PLAN.

Ultimate Skinnytaste Meal Planner<\/h2>\n <\/noscript><\/h2>\nI\u2019m also excited to share the Skinnytaste Ultimate Meal Planner is now available! The 52 week spiral bound meal planner has weekly meal planning grids you can tear out and put on your fridge if you wish, a 12-week meal plan, 30 (15 new) recipes, and tear-out grocery lists. I love starting my week with gratitude, affirmations and intentions, so I included a space for that as well. I hope you will love this as much as I do!<\/p>\n

<\/noscript><\/p>\nBuy the meal planner here:<\/strong><\/p>\nA note about WW Personal Points:<\/h2>\n I no longer provide points since they vary on the new Weight Watchers plans but I do provide links to WW Personal points<\/strong> recipe builder for all recipes. Look for the orange button<\/strong> in the recipe card says my WW personal points. Click on that and it takes you to the Weight Watchers website where you can see the WW points and add it to your day (US only, you must be logged into your account). All cookbook recipes in the cookbook index are also updated!<\/p>\nAbout The Meal Plan<\/h2>\n If you\u2019re new to my meal plans, I\u2019ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room<\/strong> for you to add more food<\/strong>, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc. or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. Depending on your goals, you should aim for at least 1500 calories* per day. There\u2019s no one size fits all, this will range by your goals, your age, weight, etc.<\/p>\nThere\u2019s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You\u2019ll dine out less often, waste less food and you\u2019ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.<\/p>\n
