Hey foodies!! Happy early Valentine's Day (or Galentine's Day or Palentine's Day?)!
Whether or not you're cooking at home or going out for V-day, I know this can be an expensive week for those who are celebrating, so I really tried to fill the rest of the week with delicious meals that used inexpensive proteins (plus a meatless Monday!). Are you feelin' the love?!
Also, in lieu of a snack idea, I added several dessert options for you to choose from ♥

And you might be wondering…
What about the weekend?
During the week, I try to save some of my leftovers for the weekend so I’ve got some healthy deliciousness ready to heat and eat! (Sometimes I’ll even double one of my weekday dinners if I don’t think I’ll have leftovers otherwise).
