A Little More Protein

On my plate

I try my best to meal plan on Saturdays, but things don't always go to plan. This is what I'm actually cooking each week, leftovers included.

This week

Week of October 4, 2026

  1. Sun

    Chicken shawarma loaf

    First time with breasts instead of thighs. It overcooked a little, so next time I'm pulling it at 160°F. The tahini dressing was a hit.

  2. Mon

    Lemon garlic chicken thighs + roasted veggies

    Marinated the night before.

  3. Tue

    Shawarma loaf, round two

    The second loaf from Sunday, sliced and seared in a hot pan.

  4. Wed

    Burgers

    If you can, get butcher burgers so you know what's in them. A good substitute is the Blue Menu frozen Angus burgers from Loblaws.

  5. Thu

    Chicken stir-fry

    Trying udon this time. The soba went mushy.

  6. Fri

    Flank steak fajita bowls

    With homemade fajita spice and toasted rice.
