We're halfway through September already. Where does the time go? Vacations are winding down, the kids are back in school (how many PB+Js are you making per week?). The crisp air smells like sleepily waiting for the school bus, and dewy grass- I wish I could bottle this essence into a perfume.

I'm very proud of this week's Meal Plan. I'm always trying to achieve a menu that saves time and money with recipes you and your family will enjoy. This week is packed with flavor with a gentle ode to the changing seasons. I've added a few hearty (but not too heavy!) recipes from our lovely community members and Editorial Team.


This week's menu includes: Cheesy Polenta Bowls, Chicken Saltimbocca with a White Bean Salad, Salmon Rice Bowls, Chicken Tenders with Sweet Potato Wedges, and @Lisathompson's *all-star* Peach Phyllo Roses - all of these knock-out recipes are down below. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead, eat deliciously!


If you make any of these recipes, snap a photo and tag us #feedfeed @thefeedfeed on Instagram or TikTok for a chance to be featured. Happy cooking!

Tuesday Chicken Saltimbocca with Prosciutto and Sage
By @Tastefully_Grace

Saltimbocca is an Italian dish traditionally made with veal, but this version is a bit on the lighter side - using thinly sliced chicken breasts marinated in wine, olive oil, and saltwater. The chicken then gets wrapped with prosciutto and sage before baking. Once ready for serving, it gets topped off with a fresh chopped tomato sauce.
