Jump to the recipes:




Busy nights? We’ve got your back.


This 3-day meal plan uses our pasture-raised chicken, forest-raised pork, and grass-fed beef to keep dinners simple, healthy, and kid-friendly.


Plus, there’s a plan for the leftovers—because we know lunch needs to be easy too.




Day 1: Crispy Chicken Thighs with Roasted Veggies and Rice


Ingredients:


  • 4 pasture-raised chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • 1 lb mixed veggies (carrots, broccoli, green beans)

  • 3 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)


Instructions:


  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  2. Pat chicken thighs dry and rub with 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. Toss veggies with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet.

  4. Place chicken on a separate baking sheet (skin side up for crispiness). Roast both for about 30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

  5. Serve chicken with veggies and rice.


Leftover Tip: Pack leftover chicken, veggies, and rice in containers. Add a squeeze of lemon or a dollop of your favorite sauce for a tasty rice bowl lunch.




Day 2: Pork Sausage and Veggie Skillet


Ingredients:


  • 1 lb forest-raised pork sausage (any flavor, but it's best with Italian or Bratwurst)

  • 2 bell peppers, sliced

  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons

  • 1 medium onion, sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, diced and roasted


Instructions:


  1. Roast sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss diced sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes.

  2. While sweet potatoes roast, cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned (about 8-10 minutes).

  3. Add veggies to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  4. Serve sausage and veggies over roasted sweet potatoes.


Leftover Tip: Turn it into a breakfast hash! Reheat sausage and veggies in a skillet, crack an egg on top, and cook until set.




Day 3: Beef Tacos with All the Fixings


Ingredients:


  • 1 lb grass-fed ground beef

  • 2 tbsp

  • Taco'Bout Tasty Taco Spice Blend

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 8 small tortillas (or use lettuce wraps for low-carb) 

  • 1 cup shredded cheese

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

  • 1 tomato, diced

  • 1/4 cup sour cream

  • 1/4 cup salsa

  • Optional sides: tortilla chips, guacamole, or fresh fruit


Instructions:


  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef. Drain excess grease if necessary.

  2. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the beef is coated and flavorful.

  3. Set up a taco bar with warmed tortillas and all your favorite toppings. Let the family build their own tacos.

  4. Serve with chips, guac, or fruit for a fun side.


Leftover Tip: Toss leftover taco meat and toppings over a bed of greens for a quick taco salad. Squeeze lime juice on top for a fresh kick.
