🥄 What We Eat in a Week!

👋 Hey BNDK Fam,

We know how chaotic life gets—between work, kids, and just trying to make it through the week, meal planning can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’re sharing a real, honest look at what our family actually eats—7 days of no-stress, meals that our kids actually love and FREE from Gluten, Dairy, Soy, Peanuts, and Refined Sugar.

Whether you’re here for allergy-safe inspiration or just want new ideas to switch up your routine, here’s what filled our plates this week 👇

🥘 This Week’s Meals

  • Chicken Fried Rice – A quick, veggie-packed dinner with protein and grains in one bowl.

  • Grass-Fed Beef Burgers + Dairy-Free Mac n Cheese – A comfort classic reimagined without the dairy.

  • Steak + Sweet Potatoes + Salad – Whole food simplicity meets weekend vibes.

  • Stir Fry Glass Noodles – Gluten-free noodles tossed with colorful veggies and sesame oil, coconut aminos, and some protein

  • Banana Bread (Dairy-Free) – Perfect for breakfast, lunchboxes, or snacks on the go.

  • Sandwiches – Easy to assemble, even easier to eat. We keep these stocked for busy days.

  • Wild-Caught Salmon + Rice – Omega-3 rich and super satisfying.

  • Immunity-Boosting Veggie Soup – Nourishment in a bowl, great for gut health and picky eaters.

  • Rice + Sausage Skillet – A one-pan wonder that everyone asks for seconds of!

  • 1 - 2 new recipes each week that we have not tried before or rotation of several entrees that are our favorite!

Why This Works for Us

  • It’s dairy-free and family-approved.

  • We cook once and repurpose leftovers (banana bread for breakfast, soup for lunch).

  • It keeps our grocery list simple and intentional.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK: BANANA BREAD MUFFINS

  • 3 to 4 bananas (ripe bananas - if you have them in the freezer, just allow to thaw)

  • 1/3 cup melted oil

  • 1 egg

  • ¾ cup monk fruit

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon of salt

📌 Tips to Try This Week

  • Let your kids help with prep—sandwich assembly, banana bread mixing, or choosing veggies for fried rice.

  • Prep once, eat twice. Batch cook rice and use it for multiple meals.

  • Plan a flexible rotation—you don’t have to follow it perfectly.

  • “Out of eggs? Try chia gel or banana in baked goods.”
