The Dinner Daily Challenge

Lettuce Shoppe has made efforts with a company called The Dinner Daily (www.thedinnerdaily.com) to collaborate our two businesses. Their idea is for busy families to have accessible, healthy meals at their fingertips in roughly 30 minutes with a meal plan for each day of the week (Monday -Friday) and a grocery list to boot with sale items from grocery stores for a family of four for around $85 at your local grocery- no matter where you shop! They offer a crazy-low price for this service that offers flexibility like veterinarian meals, one for those who don't eat red meat and even one for families of two, which lowers the cost of your groceries buy up to 50%.

We, at Lettuce Shoppe (yours truly, Elizabeth McMullen and Renee Trainor) are featuring this weeks recipes from The Dinner Daily to show just how easy this can be. This list offers plenty of flexibility for substitutions. For example, Liz is not a fan of mushrooms or chunky tomatoes so she can substitute with other veggies. Renee, does gluten free meals so pastas and such are personally substituted with GF pastas or rice.

Follow us this week as we compare side by side our meals from the Dinner Daily highlighting what substitutions we made to suit our families personal preferences.

Monday night features a low carb and high protein Chicken Scramble with tomato and broccoli over a mashed cauliflower.

Renee chose to follow the recipe using ground turkey over chicken.

Tuesday night's dinner appealed to the more classic side of life with a delicious sockeye wild caught salmon (on sale!) topped with garlic and basil and served with roasted broccoli and brown rice. A healthful dinner for sure!
 A nice option with The Dinner Daily is that while they provide you with a complete shopping list, this doesn't have to stop you from adding your own flare to the menu. If it calls for steamed broccoli, certainly roasting it is not against the rules- since there are no rules in cooking. These are merely guidelines for enjoying the ease of not over thinking your weekday meals.
