From a weekend of celebrating Cinco de Mayo, perhaps Britain’s Coronation festivities, and looking toward Mother’s Day next weekend, it’s an eventful few days.
Let’s keep evening meals simple this week with healthy one pot dinners filled with seasonal ingredients.
May One Pot Dinners Menu
Monday’s dinner is a healthy meatless dinner filled with spinach, white beans, and roasted sweet potatoes.
Gastroenterologist Sarah Robbins, M.D. says, “Spinach is always my first choice as the best vegetable for gut health. Not only is it readily available in grocery stores, reasonably priced, versatile, and convenient, this leafy green is densely packed with fiber and other nutrients that support gut and overall health.”
Tuesday’s dinner is a multicooker Mexican favorite at our house. It’s a quick and easy one-pot dinner ready in minutes. Pack on healthy condiments like greens, tomatoes, and avocados!
Wednesday’s dinner is a take-out favorite made easily at home. With simple ingredients and prep, it’s perfect for midweek when craving your favorite Chinese restaurant food.
Thursday’s dinner is almost always seafood. Tonight’s dinner is about summer citrus flavors and quick sheet pan dinners. Packed with flavor, it’s a dinner to love!
Friday’s dinner is another sheet pan favorite and so versatile you can easily change it up and use vegetables you and your family are fond of. Serve with cooked couscous or quinoa to round out the meal.
Treats: It’s a one-pan week, and I couldn’t resist adding a muffin tin to the mix. I love this healthier treat, perhaps to have around when pesky sweet cravings crop up.
Have a beautiful week!

May One Pot Dinners Meal Plan (May 8)
It's a busy month and these May One Pot Dinners will make dinner preparation easy this week with simple, flavorful, healthy one pot recipes.
Monday: Spinach Salad with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, White Beans & Basil
"Roasted sweet potatoes are paired with spinach, cabbage and white beans and tossed together with a bright basil dressing in this healthy main dish salad."
Tuesday: Easy Instant Pot Turkey Burrito Bowls
Instant Pot Turkey Burrito Bowl is a favorite healthy and delicious weeknight dinner — or even lunch. Easy to meal prep, and a breeze to cook in under 20 minutes. Add topping to this flavorful burrito bowl filling and it’s a go-to recipe you’re going to love!
Wednesday: Cashew Chicken with Ginger
"There are lots of recipes for cashew chicken, but my family thinks this one stands alone. We love the flavor from the fresh ginger and the crunch of the cashews. Another plus is it's easy to prepare. "
Thursday: Sheet-Pan Chipotle-Lime Shrimp Bake
"I like to make this seafood dinner for company because it tastes amazing, but takes very little effort to throw together. Use asparagus, Broccolini or a mix of the two. It’s all about what's available for a decent price. "
Friday: Sheet Pan Honey Mustard Chicken
"We use chopped potatoes, carrots, and red onion in this recipe, but you could easily replace with baby new potatoes, baby carrots, and shallots or scallions to skip the knife work!" You can also serve over cooked couscous or quinoa.
Healthier Cinnamon Baked Doughnut Holes
If you’re craving something sweet, something baked, something like a doughnut… these Healthier Cinnamon Baked Doughnut Holes always satisfy. Dusted with a cinnamon-sugar coating, warm from the oven, they are simply heavenly. Portion controlled, baked instead of fried, they ease the conscience a bit. Perhaps a whole lot.
