Hey Reader,

Before we get into this week's meal plan, I wanted to share the link to pre-order my friend CJ Eat's new cookbook coming out later this month: Cook Asian: 100+ Flavor-Packed, Foolproof Recipes from My Asian American Kitchen. I was on a food bloggers' retreat with CJ last week and can't sing enough praises about him and his dishes!

Ok, now for the meal plan. This one is for the tough critics in the house. You know the ones.

I dug through the comment sections to find recipes that impressed even the toughest critics in your houses and they said things like:

• "This was a wonderful one pan meal- so flavorful, smelled amazing, and my husband who’s a tough critic went out of his way to say it was great. The kids also ate it well. Saved it to my favorites!" - Rachel
• "We had this on Monday and my husband and teenagers asked for them again by Thursday." - Ange

About this week's recipes: All of these recipes have had comments left by readers about how the toughest critics in their houses have loved them and requested them again. Bonus: They're all naturally dairy-free.
