Here at the CIA, food is fun. But that doesn’t mean we’re immune to the meal-plan struggle. Super-foodies still have long days at work, manage food budgets, and yes, even hate going to the grocery store sometimes!

And while we can’t solve all your problems (we’re working on it!), our weekly menu planner might make a dent in one of them—the need to get something delicious on the table for dinner. Every week, you’ll find:

  • A dinner menu for Monday through Friday (weekends are for pizza!), including a variety of cuisines, styles, and cooking methods.
  • Detailed, tested recipes that are simple enough for a busy weeknight, but never boring.
  • Variations and suggestions for accommodating special diets and picky eaters.
  • Advice for meal prep, so you can take advantage of time-saving, make-ahead opportunities.
  • A comprehensive shopping list with everything you’ll need to prepare that week’s menu. We’ll even remind you to pick up pantry staples like salt and olive oil!

We’re All In This Together, So Let’s Get Cooking!
