A free 7-day flexible weight loss meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and Weight Watchers SmartPoints®.
Have a great 4th of July weekend!
If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.
There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.
Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing! If you wish to get on the email list, you can subscribe here so you never miss a meal plan!
Also, if you don’t have the Skinnytaste Meal Planner, now would be a great time to get one to get organized for 2019! There was a print error last year, but it’s perfect now! You can order it here!
Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated Weight Watcher Freestyle Points for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!
The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.
And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!

Pollo Asado Chicken Tostadas are a great way to change things up for Taco Tuesday. The easy recipe features authentic flavors from marinated chicken thighs and colorful vegetables with a sprinkle of queso fresco. You won’t be able to stop eating these crispy bad boys!
Disclosure: This post has been sponsored by Sprouts! As always, all opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting the brands that support Cake ‘n Knife!
First off, thank you all for the love and support you have been sending my way the last couple of weeks. I’ve been a bit quiet after losing Kya and, as I shared on my Instagram stories, the miscarriage had me laid up in a puddle of pain and grief for several days.
I’m starting to get my legs back under me so the recipes will be coming at their normal rate again soon, but it’s been a rough go.
It’s times like these that I cook for comfort. Whether it’s a comforting soup, a grilled cheese, or a layered tostada, I just go back to the types of recipes that make me as happy as I can be at this point in time.
Note: I will be writing more on everything that has happened in the past two weeks soon, like I’ve said before. In the meantime, I’ll be sharing some comfort food like this recipe.

Red White And Blue Brunch Punch is a new patriotic cocktail favorite for you and the gang. Who says July 4th celebrations can’t start in the morning, am I right? Bubbly prosecco and vodka are combined with fresh fruit juices and berries, making this cocktail recipe an easy punch recipe for Independence Day!
I honestly feel kind of weird posting right now… A little while ago, I made this killer recipe, before I left for Chicago last week. And I really want to share it with you all.
On the other hand, if you happened to catch on Instagram, I am currently struggling with the loss of my (fur) baby girl Kya.
There’s a lot of things going on behind the scenes over here and all I can say is that… I am struggling. Big time.
I have found that I need to be in my own little hole this week, but I am trying to do little things here and there that bring me joy. (more…)
