Weekly Meal Menu Plan - 7

Weekly Meal Menu Plan - 7

This is very exciting weekend! Isn't it?

All the festivity, special food-preparations, sweets, snacks and gifts. :) It is Diwali, festival of lights in India on Sunday and Monday is Halloween night in America. So sweets and holiday food is everywhere.

Honestly, I'll be so busy cooking and prepping Diwali food over the weekend.. so I have kept coming week's menu plan simple, quick and lite too. Simple and quick because I don't want to deal with cooking lot of food for weeknights and lite because I need some break after holiday's sweet indulgences.

Speaking of sweets, I shared a list of favorite Diwali Sweets yesterday. Here is the link if you wish to explore.

So, setting a lite ton for coming week's menu. Even planning to cook easy Lemon Chicken on Monday and use leftovers later in the week.

Without wasting any more time, let's get to the recipes!

Have a wonderful Happy Diwali and also Happy Halloween!
