You can hear the audio version of this meal plan on my podcast at Lola’s Frugal Life Podcast, on Apple Podcast, and on many other platforms!

Welcome to my weekly meal plan! Each week I like to share the meal plan that I will be using for my family for the upcoming week. I do this because I think that having a meal plan is really important for many reasons. Some of those reasons include saving money, wasting less food, and having less stress when it comes time to figure out “what’s for dinner?”! I try to stick with a meal plan that is simple to make things a little easier during our busy weeks. I hope this can help you with some ideas of what you might want to make this week.

Saturday – 08/12/23
- Tonight we will be making Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops. I will be serving these with some Bacon and Spinach Pasta with Parmesan.
Sunday – 08/13/23
- Tonight we will have grilled chicken breast. I just brush with olive oil, and season with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper. Sometimes I will marinate with McCormick chicken seasoning with some olive oil and white wine vinegar. For sides we will have Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Broccoli and Mexican Corn on the Cob.

Monday – 08/14/23
- Tonight we will be making Baked Chicken Nuggets. For sides, we will have Chickpea Salad and Crispy Air Fried Sweet Potato Wedges.

Tuesday – 08/08/23
- Tonight is Chipotle night. This is one of the meals we rotate for our Mexican theme Tuesday night meals. We make homemade Chipotle-style bowls. Everyone makes their own how they like it! I take some chicken breast and slice it up into bite-size pieces. Then I toss it with a little olive oil, seasoned salt, and chili powder. I then broil the chicken for about 15 – 20 minutes to get it a little crispy. I serve the chicken with brown rice, shredded cheddar, black beans, salsa, avocado, sour cream, etc. To make it really quick, I use instant brown rice that I cook in the microwave while the chicken is cooking. Just put out whatever you might like to add to your bowl. It’s such a quick easy meal!

Wednesday – 08/16/23
- We usually rotate some type of seafood on Wednesdays. Tonight we will be having Creamy Tuscan Salmon Shrimp Pasta!

Thursday – 08/17/23
- Thursday we usually do some type of soup and grilled cheese, or breakfast for dinner. Tonight we will be having Instant Pot Broccoli Cheddar Soup.

Friday – 08/18/23
- Tonight we will be having hamburgers for dinner. I make these every other week. This is one of those that I don’t have a real recipe to share with you. I just make them very simply by making patties with ground beef. Sometimes I’ll throw a little bit of McCormick hamburger seasoning on them. I will also be making a can of pork and beans and Oven Fresh Seasoned Potato Wedges.
