Happy Sunday, meal preppers! It’s been a weirdly warm and humid (?!?) last couple of days here in Maryland, but it’s cooling back down and still totally appropriate to eat soup. This week’s prep has a couple pretty new recipes as well as a couple favorites from last year. Enjoy!
If you’ve never been here before, welcome! My meal prep posts go a little something like this: 1) meal plan (use any or all of it!), 2) snack ideas, and 3) links to the containers you see here. You can also download a free, printer-friendly version of the meal plan along with all of the recipes, nutrition info, and scannable My Fitness Pal barcodes. These printer friendly meal plans are exclusive content for email subscribers, but once you sign up, you’ll be able to access all my weekly meal plans that are available in printer-friendly format! I’m still working to update old meal plans with this new feature, but all future ones will have this available. And bonus – you can also access these plans early, sometimes up to a week ahead of non-subscribers!

The Meal Plan
You may notice that my weekly meal plans only account for 6 out of the 7 days of the week. Don’t worry, that’s intentional and there are a few reasons for it. First, food freshness is quickly fading by day 6 and I don’t like to push beyond that limit. Second, I like to leave a little room for spontaneity, so I give myself some space in my meal plan for one or two meals of takeout or dining out (usually on the weekend). You can adjust this meal plan to meet your needs, but I always share what I’m actually prepping and eating so you can decide if it will work for you too.
Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner | |
---|---|---|---|
Day 1 | Strawberry Cheesecake Baked Oatmeal | Air Fryer Sesame Orange Salmon with Broccoli and Rice | Easy Greek Chicken Salad |
Day 2 | Strawberry Cheesecake Baked Oatmeal | Air Fryer Sesame Orange Salmon with Broccoli and Rice | Ham & Corn Chowder |
Day 3 | Strawberry Cheesecake Baked Oatmeal | Air Fryer Sesame Orange Salmon with Broccoli and Rice | Easy Greek Chicken Salad |
Day 4 | Strawberry Cheesecake Baked Oatmeal | Air Fryer Sesame Orange Salmon with Broccoli and Rice | Ham & Corn Chowder |
Day 5 | Strawberry Cheesecake Baked Oatmeal | Easy Greek Chicken Salad | Ham & Corn Chowder |
Day 6 | Strawberry Cheesecake Baked Oatmeal | Easy Greek Chicken Salad | Ham & Corn Chowder |

Snack Ideas
My weekly meal plans don’t include snacks, but don’t let that fool you – I eat plenty of snacks to round out my nutritional and hunger needs! Here are some ideas to help you meet yours:
- Trail mix
- Cottage cheese with jam
- Apple with peanut butter
- Blueberries and strawberries
- Protein shake
- Hard boiled eggs

The Recipes
Lunch/Dinner
Air Fryer Sesame Orange Salmon
This recipe features a super easy glaze made from sweet and tangy orange marmalade along with the deep umami flavor of sesame oil. I love how the air fryer caramelizes the sugars in the glaze, adding a bit of crispiness while cooking the salmon through to flakey perfection.
