Meal Plan 38 - A Cozy Autumn Week
The grocery list is back! This time it's easier to use and printable as well. It is color coordinated by meal so you can easily pick and choose which meals you would like to make. Either print and use the grocery list as is and make all the meals I have planned, or cross off the meals you would rather not make. Hopefully this is useful and helpful to you!

Day 1: Italian Sausage Soup
As the temperatures begin to drop, this is a great and quick recipe for warming up and using up fall produce.
Day 2: Bombay Sloppy Joes with Spicy Sweet Potato Wedges
I so love Aarti Sequeira from the blog Aarti Paarti and was thrilled to see her win Next Food Network Star. I of course had to try her recipe that got over 500 comments and 5 stars on the foodnetwork site. This is a great recipe for using up ground turkey.
Day 3: BBQ Ranch Chicken Tostadas with Avocado Corn Salsa
I made these for the second time recently and my husband declared them one of his favorites. We could both eat an entire bowl of the avocado corn salsa on it's own
Day 4: Coconut-Crusted Chicken Fingers with Curried Quinoa Salad with Black Beans and Peaches
This is my adaptation of coconut shrimp which I ate in a restaurant a long time ago and loved. No time to fuss with deep frying, these babies are baked. I'm serving it with this quinoa salad and using Kitchen Kathy's idea for swapping out the mango for peaches and the honey for maple syrup.
Day 5: Pork Loin with Yogurt and Chickpeas and Pan-Roasted Veg
Oh lovely fall roasted root vegetables. The warm smokey cumin combined with the butternut squash and carrots makes this lovely autumn combo and the minty yogurt sauce perks it right up. Great for serving on the weekend and eating with friends.
