It’s getting warmer here in Austin, and next week’s forecast is full of sunshine. I plan to take full advantage and get in long walks after work while enjoying the sunset. Still, having a nutritious and flavorful dinner on the table is a priority. So, this week’s dinner plan features meals that are on the table in 15 minutes or less. Plus, they’re packed with at least 15 grams of protein per serving. While it may be most well-known for maintaining muscle mass,protein is also a key nutrientin supporting your immune, bone and cognitive health, to name a few additional benefits. Plus, it helps slow down your digestion, helping you feel fuller for longer.Your Weekly PlanSunday:Salmon & Creamy Orzo with Spinach & MushroomsMonday:Peanutty Soba NoodlesTuesday:BBQ Chicken Tacos with Red Cabbage SlawWednesday:Teriyaki Chicken with BroccoliThursday:Steak Enchilada SkilletFriday:Salt & Pepper Shrimp with Snow PeasGet the Shopping List

Tuesday: BBQ Chicken Tacos with Red Cabbage SlawI think Taco Tuesday is a fun idea, but for us Mexicans, every day is taco day! This recipe uses store-bought barbecue sauce for an easy but flavorful seasoning for the chicken, and the cabbage slaw adds great texture and freshness. For something sweet, I’ll slice some fresh pineapple for dessert.Get the Recipe

Thursday: Steak Enchilada SkilletPhotographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Melissa Gray, Prop Stylist: Shell RoysterJust say the word enchilada, and my husband and I are in! This recipe is essentially enchiladas in the form of a skillet casserole, so it comes together pretty fast. Though my husband doesn’t have celiac disease, he has gluten sensitivity, so I’ll use corn tortillas instead of whole-wheat tortillas. Packed with 39 grams of protein per serving, I bet I won’t need an evening snack after this meal!Get the Recipe
