7-Day Healthy Meal Plan

August is winding down, summer is on it’s way out, it is almost Labor Day and that means back to school—say it isn’t so!!! However, I am looking forward to spending the long weekend with family and friends and making some favorites like Grilled Crab Legs, Easy Inside Out Turkey Cheeseburgers or Grilled Hawaiian Teriyaki Burgers with some Perfectly Grilled Zucchini on the side. Don’t forget dessert- Red, White and Blue Fruit Skewers with Cheesecake Yogurt Dip, quick and easy!

Why Should Everyone Meal Plan?

Meal planning is a great way to organize your meals for the week ahead. You also save time and money in the supermarket! And of course, planning ahead helps you stick to your goals! Check out my new Skinnytaste Meal Planner which is now out for pre-order!

About The Meal Plan

If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve 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 for you to add more food, 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. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.

There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.

Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing! If you wish to get on the email list, you can subscribe here so you never miss a meal plan!

THE DETAILS:

Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated WW Blue SP for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!

The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.

And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!

I’m holding on to summer for as long I can! What are your favorite things to do or places to go in late summer? Favorite recipes?

7-Day Healthy Meal Plan

While I know it is still early for those of us up north, some kids are already back, or going back to school this week!!! Crazy! I am thankful that we still have another few weeks to enjoy lazy summer days before Madison has to go back. For those that are heading back and looking for an easy school lunch, try my BLT Roll Ups with Turkey and Avocado and for a quick after school snack try my Cheeseburger Crunch Wrap or these Veggie Shooters and sneak in some extra vegetables!

August Horoscopes: What This Month Has In Store For Every Zodiac Sign https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/august-horoscopes-what-this-month-has-in-store-for-every-zodiac-sign/ https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/august-horoscopes-what-this-month-has-in-store-for-every-zodiac-sign/#respond Tue, 03 Aug 2021 17:44:15 +0000 https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/august-horoscopes-what-this-month-has-in-store-for-every-zodiac-sign/

After your time in the spotlight, Cancer, the Sun in Leo now falls in your productive second house, according to the twins. It will feel nice and grounding for you, and you’ll be glad for a chance to ground down and enjoy the moment. Plus, with all five outer planets in retrograde, it’s a good time to slow down anyway!

“Less is more now, so prioritize quality over quantity,” the twins suggest, adding, “you may find that your industrious efforts are building an unexpected skill that will pay off later in unexpected ways.” When Virgo season arrives on August 22, and the Sun moves into your communicative third house, you’ll have a chance to connect, socialize, and have fun.

Love & Lemons Cooking Club – August! – Love and Lemons https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/love-lemons-cooking-club-august-love-and-lemons/ https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/love-lemons-cooking-club-august-love-and-lemons/#respond Tue, 03 Aug 2021 16:52:47 +0000 https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/love-lemons-cooking-club-august-love-and-lemons/

Join the Love & Lemons Cooking Club Challenge this month! It’s easy to enter, and one lucky winner will receive a prize. Find all the details below.





Last fall, I created the Love & Lemons Cooking Club to celebrate our wonderful community of readers. It’s super simple – each month, I choose a recipe. You make it, and you email me a photo. At the end of the month, I randomly select one winner to receive a prize.

I love the sense of community that comes from so many people cooking one recipe each month. We’re kicking off our August challenge today with my Peach Crisp Recipe, and I hope you’ll join in the fun! Here’s how it works:

The Prize: A $200 Williams Sonoma Gift Card!


Peach crisp


What better way to celebrate peach season than with a peach crisp? This vegan and gluten-free recipe is SO easy to throw together, and it’s absolutely delicious. A nutty, cinnamon-spiced topping covers a juicy, jammy layer of fresh peaches. Serve it with vanilla ice cream for knockout late summer treat.

P.S. Leftovers are great for breakfast the next day. 🙂

Enter the August Challenge!

Want to enter? Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Make my Peach Crisp sometime during the month of August.
  2. Send a picture of it to LoveAndLemonsCookingClub@gmail.com by August 31.

  4. Sign up for our email list to find out about next month’s recipe!

I’ll randomly select a winner and share all your photos in early September.

Last Month’s Challenge

July’s recipe was my Easy Gazpacho. Jack and I have had it on heavy rotation for the last couple of weeks because it’s been hot and humid here in Chicago. Many of you reported that it gave you some reprieve from the heat too – I’m so glad! I hope you continue to enjoy it throughout the summer.

Here are all your photos:

August Is Full Of Mind-Bending Retrogrades: What Astrologers Want You To Know https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/august-is-full-of-mind-bending-retrogrades-what-astrologers-want-you-to-know/ https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/august-is-full-of-mind-bending-retrogrades-what-astrologers-want-you-to-know/#respond Tue, 03 Aug 2021 01:31:25 +0000 https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/august-is-full-of-mind-bending-retrogrades-what-astrologers-want-you-to-know/

Here we sit, facing a scene that looks somewhat like the start of 2021: Both expansive Jupiter and restrictive Saturn are in Aquarius, the air sign that rules science, society, public policy, and groups. 

This summer also features two Aquarius full moons, one on July 23 and a second one arriving on August 22. And this month, Uranus, the ruling planet of Aquarius, will slip into a five-month retrograde.

It was right when Saturn first entered Aquarius in March 2020 that the United States went into lockdown. Then, the December 2020 Great Conjunction of hopeful Jupiter and tough Saturn in Aquarius coincided with the Moderna vaccine release. Their joint powers are needed more than ever now, as we sift through disinformation and search for science in a polarized world. Aquarius is jointly ruled by innovator Uranus and timekeeper Saturn (aka Chronos). Indeed the delta variant and new mutations have set the clock ticking. Is there time to save the planet from another sweep of mass devastation?

When Jupiter entered Pisces back in May 2021, we predicted a couple of months of blissful denial, long-awaited hugs, and packed beaches—the kaleidoscopic revelry that Pisces specializes in. We also pointed out that Pisces rules hospitals and contagious diseases, and amplified by supersized Jupiter, we foresaw the dire challenges to medical establishments in areas with unvaccinated populations.

The Piscean duality brought both the emotional highs of vaccinated “freedom” and the crashing admission, as the delta variant spread, that this wasn’t the end of the pandemic. Amplified by Jupiter in Pisces from May 13 to July 28, it’s been a summer of extremes.

Skinnytaste Meal Plan (August 2-8) https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/skinnytaste-meal-plan-august-2-8/ https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/skinnytaste-meal-plan-august-2-8/#respond Fri, 30 Jul 2021 14:18:51 +0000 https://lessmeatmoreveg.com/skinnytaste-meal-plan-august-2-8/

posted July 30, 2021 by Gina

A free 7-day, flexible weight loss meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. Recipes include macros and WW Points.

7-Day Healthy Meal Plan

One of my favorite things about this time of summer is being able to just walk outside and pick my own veggies! Here are a few of my favorite summer veggie recipes- Corn, Tomato, Avocado Salad, is def at the top of the list, as is this simple Summer Tomato Salad and don’t forget Sauteed Zucchini with Plum Tomatoes! Fresh and easy!

Why Should Everyone Meal Plan?

Meal planning is a great way to organize your meals for the week ahead. You also save time and money in the supermarket! And of course, planning ahead helps you stick to your goals!

About The Meal Plan

If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve 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 for you to add more food, 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. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.

There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.

Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing! If you wish to get on the email list, you can subscribe here so you never miss a meal plan!

Also, if you don’t have the Skinnytaste Meal Planner, now would be a great time to get one to get organized for 2020! There was a print error last year, but it’s perfect now! You can order it here!

THE DETAILS:

Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated WW Blue SP for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!

The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.

And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!
