A delicious mix of healthy entrees, snacks and sides make up this Healthy Weekly Meal Plan #48 for an easy week of nutritious meals your family will love!

You guys, I am LOVING my reduced summer hours again this year. I work three 10 hour days a week and it is simply glorious having four whole days to myself each week. I am truly living the good life. Thursday on one of my days off, I woke up for an early photo shoot, then I lounged around working on some blog business and took a mid-afternoon nap. Later in the day I headed to the golf course and ran into some ladies I used to work with. I joined them for a round of golf and caught up with an old friend. I swung by my parent’s house to say hi and then on my way home I grabbed one of these Whole Chickens and a couple sweet potatoes at my local grocery store for an easy dinner. I finished off my day catching up on a few TV shows and that was a wrap.

The combination of being outdoors, getting some physical activity and having ‘me time’ is really unbeatable. If only I could work three days a week throughout the whole year! 🙂 I know, I know, now I am just getting greedy. I will say though, it is somewhat of a difficult transition in August when I have to go back to five day weeks. When you are spoiled for ten glorious weeks, no one would want to go back to full-time!

Be sure to stop back every Saturday for your weekly fix of daily entrees as well as a breakfast, lunch, snack and dessert! Just click on the photo or link to see the recipe. If you are looking for a great tool to organize your weekly meal plans, check out this meal planner!
