Tips for this Week's Meal Plan

This week calls for a lot of kale. Feel free to use baby spinach in place of the kale. I use it for a large salad, in the enchiladas, and in the vegetable soup.
Use red or gold potatoes for the curry, soup, sheet pan dinner, and beef stew.
Use any leftover carrot, squash, or broccoli for sausage sheet pan meal.
Prepare a double batch of rice Monday night to serve with the curry and teriyaki chicken.
No Instant Pot? Follow these directions:
- Beef Stew: Season beef and sear in a large Dutch oven. Add in wine, stock, tomato sauce, horseradish, thyme, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Let simmer, covered for 1 ½ to 2 hours. Add in potatoes and carrots and simmer for an additional 30 minutes. Whisk together cornstarch and water whisk into the stew and let the stew thicken.
- Rice: Cook on the stove as the package directs.
- Vegetable Soup: Cook on low heat for 7-8 hours in a crockpot, or for on high 3-4 hours.
