These lobster tacos are made with steamed chunks of lobster meat lightly seasoned with Old Bay, avocado and pico de gallo, topped with a spicy poblano crema. If you want to step up your fish taco game, you need these in your life!

Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 79)
Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 79). Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Here’s the new meal plan for the week, hard to believe this is the 79th one! Let me know if you find these meal plans helpful and if I should continue sharing each week. If you would like to see some of the previous week’s dinner plans, click here.
Pictured below is The Skinnytaste Meal Planner where I plan my dinners for the week (you can of course use any meal planner). Meal planning is a great way to get organized before heading to the supermarket to get ready for the week! My breakfast is usually something quick like eggs with fruit, a smoothie or avocado toast. We’re a family of four, so if a recipe serves more, it’s either packed up for everyone’s lunch or eaten the next day as leftovers.
Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 79)
Monday: Spicy Breakfast Fajitas with Eggs and Guacamole
Tuesday: One Pot Chicken Fajita Pasta
Wednesday: Chicken and Mushrooms in a Garlic White Wine Sauce with roasted asparagus
Thursday: Cajun Shrimp in Foil
Friday: Broiled Miso Salmon with sauteed snap peas
Saturday: Away
Sunday: Away

How To Make an Epic Charcuterie and Cheese Board
Meat and cheese boards are my go-to for super chill, no stress summer entertaining. You can load them up with all your favorite cheese, cured meats, fruit, nuts and spreads. Add some wine and baguettes and you have yourself a meal!

Chicken and Mushrooms in a Garlic White Wine Sauce
Chicken and Mushrooms in a Garlic White Wine Sauce is a great-tasting, 20-minute dish, perfect for busy weeknights! We like it served with brown rice, pasta, quinoa or farro on the side, or a serve it with roasted veggies and a salad.

Spicy Breakfast Fajitas with Eggs and Guacamole
I just love breakfast tacos with eggs, and these breakfast fajitas are no exception. Loaded with peppers, onions and guacamole and topped with a runny egg (you can prepare the eggs however you like).
Not just for breakfast, these fresh fajitas would also be great as a meatless main (plan on 2 per person) which you could serve with some Mexican Cauli Rice.

Taco Stuffed Zucchini Boats
For a low-carb, summer spin on taco night, you’ll love these Taco Stuffed Zucchini Boats filled with seasoned ground turkey and topped with a Mexican cheese blend.
This has become a favorite in my house. I originally got the inspiration for this dish from a comment I read on my sausage stuffed zucchini boats, I love it when you guys give me new ideas! They turned out so good, they are now a part of my summer rotation.
I made these for dinner last week and decided to give the photos a face lift, and revive this from the archives. Hope you enjoy!

Grilled Chicken Bruschetta
Grilled Chicken Bruschetta is a summer staple in my house! Made with juicy tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, red onion, garlic and balsamic, it turns plain grilled chicken into a delicious weeknight meal in minutes!
Make the tomatoes the night before or early in the morning and let all the flavors marinate, then when you are ready to eat grill some chicken and you have yourself a quick weeknight meal.
The tomatoes are the star of the show, to quote my husband “you could serve this over cardboard and it would be good!” Typically served over toasted bread as an appetizer, we love it over grilled chicken to make it a meal. Serve this with some crusty bread to soak up the juice if you wish, or just have this over a great big salad.
To make this Whole30 or Paleo, leave the cheese out, you won’t even miss it!

Turkey Enchilada Stuffed Poblanos Rellenos
These baked Turkey Enchilada Stuffed Poblanos Rellenos are stuffed with a flavorful ground turkey filling, topped with my homemade enchilada sauce and cheese. These are so much lighter than restaurant chile rellenos which are typically battered in egg and deep fried.
