charred cauliflower quesadillas
Last week* I mentioned that we’d been on a big breakfast-for-dinner spree this winter, less out of a noble desire for inexpensive, balanced, wholesome meals and more because scrambling eggs at the last minute allows us to go all the way to 15 minutes before dinner to come up with an idea for it, which is meal-planning equivalent of the heavens opening up and glorifying all of my late-afternoon lethargy at last.
The other kick we’ve been on since the beginning of the year is passing off anything we can put in, on, or near a tortilla as dinner, leading to a steady rotation our go-to fajitas, beef tacos, black bean tacos and, in a mash-up of both the breakfast and tortilla benders, scrambled egg tacos. Many of you asked “how” I got my son to eat such foods as scrambled eggs and tacos, and while I’m tempted to take credit for it (“it’s the rainbow of local organic produce and definitely not the daily succession of pb&j sandwiches I ate while he was in the womb!”) it would be dishonest when it’s been more due to random outside influences. The grandmother of one of my son’s classmates brought in warm — warm! freshly cooked! how I long to be a kindergartener most days! — quesadillas for snack a few weeks ago, and it’s all he’s talked about since.

“Eggplant slices are twice baked for this delicious offering. First with lots of salt and pepper until they are tender and golden, and then with a sprinkling of herbs, just before they ‘re slipped under the broiler for a few moments to sizzle and get even crispier.”

A Week of Healthy, Make-Ahead Meals from Joy Manning — Meal Plans from The Kitchn
When I get into healthy eating and weight-loss mode, I tend to rely heavily on routines and repetition to keep myself on track. I will often eat the same breakfast every day, and then make a giant pot of my chicken lentil soup to eat for dinners all week long. A few easy meals like nori rolls or open-faced chicken salad sandwiches fill in for lunches so the day has some variety!
Here’s how I bring it all together into a week-long meal plan. If you have more extensive plans for your dinners, though, substitute the word “lunches” for “meals” — this set of recipes also works beautifully as a plan for a week of make-ahead lunches.
