WHAT TO EAT THIS WEEK — WEEK 3
Simple, Flavorful Meals for Busy People
Welcome to Week 3 of What to Eat This Week – a cozy little meal plan built for flavor, flexibility, and ease.
If you’ve been following since Week 1, your pantry should already be stocked with a few key staples—meaning this week’s prep will feel even simpler. These recipes are designed to work with your schedule, not against it. Because let’s be honest: one of the hardest parts of adulting is figuring out what to eat every single day. Even if you like cooking, sometimes your brain is just not in the mood to plan.
I didn’t expect to love this week’s meals as much as I did, but you know when every dish just works? That’s exactly how it felt.
The dishes this week are bold and fresh, the flavors are full and comforting, but still easy enough to pull off on a busy day. I even caught myself looking forward to the leftovers- which says a lot. Honestly, this might be my favorite lineup since I started doing this. Each dish just feels special, like something I’ll want to make again and again.
ON THE MENU
Beef Garam Masala with Coconut rice
Ginger Chicken Salad & Garlic Naan Croutons
Jerk Chicken Rice Paper Rolls

HOW THIS PLAN WORKS (Because We’re Keeping It Simple)
You’ll find a full grocery list below with everything you need for this week’s meals.
The plan includes 4 dinners, designed to be easy, flavorful, and repeatable.
Each recipe serves 2 people — so if you’re cooking solo, you’ll get lunch or dinner for the next day too.
Groceries will run around $85 total, which breaks down to roughly $10–11 per person per meal (and less if your pantry’s already stocked).
This is a low-waste plan — ingredients are chosen to work across recipes, minimizing food waste and maximizing flavor.
We’re doing things a little different this week and I’m giving you each recipe at once, let me know if you like this format!
Scroll down for this week’s lineup and get ready to eat well—without overthinking it.
