Tuesday is already decided
Do not know where to start? Cook this day. Pasta, oats, and chicken are allowed. Wednesday is here too. Thursday lives in the planner.
Two days, already decided
Tuesday
Breakfast
Overnight Oats
Stir it tonight. Eat it in the morning. No cooking before school.
Lunch
Horiatiki Salad
Tomato, cucumber, feta, olives. The Greek salad that is actually a meal.
Dinner
Greek Chicken Bowls
Herb chicken, rice, tzatziki. Leftovers become Wednesday lunch if you want.
Wednesday
Breakfast
Breakfast Egg Bites
Bake a batch. Reheat in 30 seconds. Protein without a morning decision.
Lunch
Avgolemono Soup
Lemon chicken soup. Light enough for lunch, filling enough to skip the snack drawer.
Dinner
Chicken Souvlaki
Lemon-oregano skewers. Skillet or grill. Same grocery-store chicken as Tuesday.

Frequently asked questions
What should I cook if I do not know where to start?+
Cook one finished day — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — instead of hunting a single recipe. Tuesday below is the start. Use the dinner helper when you need the next day.
Do I have to cook all three meals?+
No. Dinner is the one that usually breaks the night. Keep lunch as leftovers from last night if that is easier.
Is this a diet plan?+
No. Spoon Simple is a family cooking site. The menu is real food you can shop at a normal grocery store — not a 30-day weight-loss challenge.
How do I get the rest of the week?+
Add these recipes to a grocery list, then use the free dinner helper or the iPhone app to pick Thursday through Sunday.
