I've been sharing 5-day meal plans with my email subscribers for many years now, started sharing some of those on Instagram and I love the feedback I get from those who love the meal plans and use them regularly.
If you’re new to my meal plans, they normally include 5 dinner recipes and one or two desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth. I'm trying my best to be thoughtful and add a variety of recipes with plenty of wiggle room for you to add or subtract food and I always suggest you make a day per week for leftovers or use them for lunch the next day.
📅 Food Holidays
This week we are having some interesting and fun days to celebrate. These days are a good opportunity to raise awareness, shed some light, or inspire you to create more recipes in your kitchen. So let's check them out:
- August 3 is National Watermelon Day. Enjoy the fruit on its own or in a delicious watermelon salad but do not throw the peel away. Make this easy watermelon rind preserves instead.
- August 4 is National Chocolate chip cookie Day.
- August 5 is National Couscous Day. You might have tried couscous as a savory dish or a couscous salad but have you tried it as a dessert?

Thanks for the yummy recipes. I am part Syrian and Egyptian so these bring back memories of my aunts cooking. Sometimes I do make these dishes for myself.
