This week is sure to be busy, whether you’rehosting Thanksgivingor Friendsgiving or traveling to see family and friends. I’m hosting this year, so most of my energy will be spent prepping for the big meal. But we still have to eat the rest of the week, so I came up with a dinner plan featuring three-ingredient, throw-together dishes. This way we can still eat something nourishing without spending too much time or energy on making dinner (or adding too many items to my already-lengthy shopping list). As a bonus, these recipes are made without any added sugars. Since consuming too muchadded sugarcan contribute to various health conditions like heart disease, diabetes and more, I’d rather enjoy it in a holiday dessert than in my dinner. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!Your Weekly PlanSunday:Sweet Potato & Brussels Sprouts Hash with Chicken SausageMonday:Goat Cheese Pasta with BroccoliTuesday:Farro Bowl with Rotisserie ChickenWednesday:Chickpeas with Kale & Sun-Dried TomatoesThursday:Thanksgiving!

It makes a sauce when combined with a little of the pasta cooking water. Usingchickpea pastainstead of regular pasta means it’s higher in protein and fiber and sure to keep you satisfied longer. Thebroccoli floretscontribute even more fiber. Serve with whole-wheat baguette.View Recipe
