Friends, these Sheet Pan Beef Kebabs I made recently are kind of a big deal for me. My dad made kebabs seasoned just like this all the time growing up so I decided to set out to make a sheet pan version. Cumin, paprika, Aleppo pepper, ground beef pressed onto a pan and broiled until the edges caramelize, wrapped in lavash with a sumac salad and yogurt sauce. This one is definitely a winner and you need to try it if you haven’t yet.

The rest of the week is just as good. For lunch, we’ve got a Chicken Tikka Crispy Rice Salad—spiced chicken thighs, crispy rice tossed in garam masala and turmeric, and a creamy yogurt-mint dressing that holds up in the fridge for days.

The Marry Me Chickpeas are a 20-minute one-pot dinner that earns its name every single time (better get that ring ready!). And the Ground Beef Ramen Bowls are there for the night you need something fast and super satisfying without a lot of thought behind it. Just 15 minutes! Everyone’s got that right?!

There’s also a breakfast and a snack in here that are both easy to make — once you prep them on Sunday you never have to think about either one again for the rest of the week.

Below you’ll find everything you need—the recipes, the grocery list, and a few tips to make the week run smoother. This week’s plan includes:

  • 1 breakfast

  • 1 lunch

  • 3 dinners

  • 1 snack

Serves 12 muffins | Prep: 5 min | Cook: 20 minutes

Your favorite breakfast just got a fast and delicious bite-size upgrade. That’s right, my Healthy Tortilla Egg Cups are the ultimate prep-ahead breakfast for those days where you really just need something fast, easy, and nutritious. This recipe makes 12 “muffins”, is packed with protein, and is perfect for both kids and adults alike!

tips & swaps

  • Spray the muffin tin generously before adding the tortillas so they release cleanly

  • Check at 18 minutes if you like a jammy yolk — the whites should be just set

  • Keeps in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 1 month
