Say goodbye to mealtime stress and hello to delicious, worry-free meals the whole family will love. Whether you’re navigating food allergies or just looking for simple, wholesome recipes, this weekly meal plan has you covered. Let’s make mealtime your favorite part of the week—no compromises, just safe, great food!
Welcome to Allergy-Friendly Weekly Eats!
This series was born out of my own need to get more organized about dinner. As a food blogger, you might think I absolutely LOVE to cook—and you’re not wrong, I do! I adore creating recipes and baking up a storm, especially for special occasions. But let’s be real—when dinner becomes a daily 5:00 PM task, it can feel overwhelming, even for me. I created this plan to ease my own mealtime struggles, and I hope it helps you tackle yours, too.
Each week, you can expect a thoughtfully curated meal plan featuring:
1️⃣ A tried-and-true savory dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights.
2️⃣ Recipes that are all egg, nut, and peanut-free, with easy instructions to adapt for other allergies.
3️⃣ Helpful tips to make meal prep and cooking stress-free.
4️⃣ Family favorites—these are the dishes I cook for my own family, so you know they’re tested, loved, and delicious!
This plan is designed to bring ease and joy to your kitchen while ensuring every bite is safe and satisfying. Let’s get cooking!

Extra Tips for Meal Planning Success
- Plan Ahead for a Smooth Start: Make your grocery list on Saturday and schedule delivery or pick-up for Sunday morning. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!
- Double Up and Save Time: Whenever you can, double the batch and freeze one for later. Future-you will thank you!
- Rice is Life: I always cook 4 cups of rice on Mondays to have ready for the week. It’s the ultimate meal-saver for busy days.
- Dress to Impress (Your Salads): Prep a homemade salad dressing for the week—simple, fresh, and oh-so-good. I also love keeping ranch and tzatziki stocked in the fridge for quick dipping and drizzling.
- Veggies Done Right: Roast a big batch of mixed veggies all at once. You can switch things up and enjoy them in different ways throughout the week. Easy and delicious!
