Happy New Year! I hope your first week of 2025 has been off to a good start. Personally, I have really enjoyed the mid-week start to the new year because it allows us to ease into things after time off during the holidays. Instead of new year’s resolutions this year, I have a few focuses that I want to prioritize: striving for living in balance, continuing to improve upon grace & greens and support you all in eating healthier, and digging deeper in studying the Word (starting off with this book).
What are you focused on this year?
Speaking of how I can support you better with grace & greens, you can expect Grace’s Grocery Guide to hit your inbox each week, more healthy & easy recipes, and resources to learn more about how you can support your health. I am excited for you in this new year, nourishing your whole self so that you can continue to flourish!
And now, let’s hop into this week’s delicious menu. You can look forward to flavors spanning across the Mediterranean and Asia. There is also a special new breakfast recipe that you can prep ahead, so you can save time in the mornings.
Menu
Let’s make it easier for you to eat healthy, nourishing meals every day this week!
Here’s a peak at what you’ll be making this week:
To Note:
Dietary restrictions? All of these meals are gluten-free & dairy-free and packed with veggies. For a more plant-forward option, swap the protein for beans. Many of these dishes can also be made Whole 30 compliant with a few swaps.
Each recipe yields 4 servings—2 for dinner the night you cook and 2 for lunch the next day.
Cooking solo? You can freeze two servings for later or share meals with a friend.
For families, simply double the recipes to get two full meals on different days.
This meal plan starts Sunday night and ends Friday night. The weekends are for you to choose, or reuse something from the week.
As always, if you have questions feel free to comment or message me.
