Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 97)

Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 97)

Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 97). Hoping it’s cooler next week because I’m craving comfort food as you can see!

Pictured below is The Skinnytaste Meal Planner where I plan my dinners for the week (you can of course use any meal planner). Meal planning is a great way to get organized before heading to the supermarket to get ready for the week! My breakfast is usually something quick like eggs with fruit, a smoothie or avocado toast. We’re a family of four, so if a recipe serves more, it’s either packed up for everyone’s lunch or eaten the next day as leftovers. If you would like to see some of the previous week’s dinner plans, click here.

A few weeks ago I share this Instant Pot version of a One-Pot Spaghetti and Meat Sauce using jarred marinara sauce and turkey instead of beef. Tons of questions if it could be made on the stove, so of course to answer those questions I had to test it on the stove for the timing of the pasta. I wanted to make the meat sauce in this version from scratch and was craving beef in my sauce, but of course you can make this with turkey and jarred sauce if you wish!

BTW, I swear by Tuttorosso crushed tomatoes (green label) when I make my sauce from scratch! You can’t make a bad sauce with them unlike other brands that tend to be acidic and need lots of doctoring. Bonus, they are also non-gmo and use a non-bpa liner in the cans.

One-Pot Spaghetti and Meat Sauce (Stove-Top recipe)

This EASY Spaghetti and Meat Sauce is cooked all in one pot! The meat sauce is made from scratch on the stove and cooked with the spaghetti all at the same time. No extra pots to wash, fast and delicious!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb 90% ground beef
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes, I love Tuttorosso
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups water
  • 8 ounces wheat or gluten-free spaghetti, broken in half (I love Delallo)
  • Grated parmesan cheese, optional for serving

Directions:

  1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over high heat.
  2. When hot add the beef and salt and cook, breaking up about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the onions, and garlic and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add the crushed tomatoes, black pepper, water and basil and stir, add the spaghetti, making sure the liquid covers everything without stirring.
  5. Cover and cook medium-low heat until the water is absorbed and the pasta is cooked, about 17 minutes.
  6. Serve topped with grated cheese if desired!

What happens when you stuff an acorn squash with turkey chili? You have an edible bowl that's not just good for you, it tastes great too!

These turned out better than I could have expected! The turkey chili is mild and savory, which is the perfect balance to the slightly sweet acorn squash (would be great with delicata too!). If you want to make this dairy-free and Whole30 friendly, simply omit the cheese.

I had this for dinner last night and I loved every bite of this. It was filling and so good I am excited to have leftovers for lunch today. This reheats well, if you want to save half for another night, leave the cheese off until you’re ready to reheat.

Turkey Chili Stuffed Acorn Squash

What happens when you stuff an acorn squash with turkey chili? You have an edible bowl that's not just good for you, it tastes great too!

Ingredients:

  • 2 acorn squash, halved, seeded

  • fresh cilantro, for garnish

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  2. Place squash halves on the baking sheet, cut sides down. Bake until soft, 30 to 35 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, brown turkey over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks into smaller pieces and season with salt and cumin.
  4. When meat is browned and cooked through add onion and garlic; cook 3 minutes over medium heat.
  5. Add the can of Rotel tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and bay leaf.
  6. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat about 25 minutes stirring occasionally.
  7. Remove bay leaf, flip the squash over and fill each half with 3/4 cup chili.
  8. Top with cheese and bake until melted, about 5 minutes. Top with cilantro.
To reheat, bake in a 350F oven 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through.
