Bio and Chem Filled Weekend + Weekly Meal Plan
Hey and happy Monday!
I kind of feel like I dropped off the face of the planet this weekend, but I’m back!!
I wanted to work ahead in my Chemistry and my Biology classes so that I could finish before Brian and I go home for Christmas, so I really had to power through the work this weekend. I had some late nights and I didn’t move much BUT I got ahead by three weeks and I am feeling good 🙂
Here is what my weekend looked like…
HA! And of course some science experiments…
The highlights of my weekend?
Well…Brian and I got a new car!
And some celebratory ice cream from Liks.
And I officially started Thanksgiving recipe testing. Yesterday, I made this Coconut Garlic Butternut Squash Puree from Running to the Kitchen and WOW was it amazing 🙂
So here is a look at the rest of our meals for the week.
Breakfast:
- Soft Pumpkin Bread from Averie Cooks for Brian
- Maybe some breakfast burritos (we have all the necessary ingredients!)
- Oats
- Smoothies
Lunch:
- Chicken salad sandwiches(our latest fav combo is shredded chicken, dijon, avocado, salt and pepper to taste, apple, celery, onion<–so good!)
- Hardboiled eggs
- Salads
- Leftovers?
- Side options: Apple with nutbutter, veggies and hummus, whole grain pita chips
Dinner:
- White bean soup
- Sweet potato chipotle soup
- Cauliflower fritters with baked salmon
- Salmon with kale salad (a remake from last week because it was so good and I want to share the recipe with all of you!)
- Chicken Curry Stir Fry
Treats/Snacks:
- still munching on Pumpkin Raisin Bites and Healthy Bites 🙂
Your Turn!
- What’s on your menu?
- What did you do this weekend? Please tell me it was more fun than Chemistry and Biology 😉

Good job on getting your work done in advance. Heading to check out those couple pumpkin recipes. They sound delicious. Thanks for sharing, Tara!
Thanks, Jessie!!!! Glad to have you back!!!
Omigoodness so many yummy recipes. I am so excited for Thanksgiving, it’s my absolute favourite holiday! Unfortunately being a Canadian living in Australia means that no one else (aside from me) is making pumpkin-spiced anything and turkey is VERY hard to come by (they don’t do Thanksgiving over here).
yay new car!! you need it for that snow to come, right?! hehe
YES! Bring on the snow!!!
I don’t have anything planned for my meals this week because I’m going on vacation, but I wish I was as organized as you in that regard. Congrats on going back to school. If it makes you feel better, I did a lot of school work this weekend as well so you weren’t alone.
Glad to hear I wasn’t the only one studying!
