MEAL PLAN WITH RECIPE LINKS – 12/30 – 01/05/24

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 – 12/30/23
  • Tonight we will be having Mushroom Pork Chops. This is a simple stove top dish that cooks up quickly in a frying pan. For a side dish I will be making Vegetarian Tater Tot Casserole.
• Sunday – 12/31/23
  • For New Year’s Eve I will be making a few different appetizer type foods for dinner:
    • Beth’s Melt in Your Mouth Barbeque Ribs
    • Cheddar-Beer Fondue
    • Skinny Crescent Jalepeno Poppers

• Monday – 01/01/24
  • Tonight we will be going to a family get-together for our dinner!

• Tuesday – 01/02/24
  • Every Tuesday, we do some type of Mexican theme meal. Tonight we are going to do Taco Tuesday! I don’t have a recipe to share for the tacos, but I can tell you how I serve them. For the meat, I cook up some ground turkey and season it with seasoned salt and chili powder. Then I serve with hard taco shells, soft taco shells, shredded cheddar, avocados, sour cream, and taco sauce.

• Wednesday – 01/03/24
  • We usually rotate some type of seafood on Wednesdays. Tonight we will be having Creamy Tuscan Salmon Shrimp Pasta! If you would like to see my YouTube video of this recipe, click here!

• Thursday – 01/04/24
  • Thursday we usually do some type of soup and grilled cheese, or breakfast for dinner. Tonight we will be having some Zuppa Tuscana – Italian Sausage Potato Soup!
• Friday – 01/05/24
  • Hot dogs are on the menu tonight! I serve these with some diced potatoes, peppers and onions tossed in some olive oil and cooked up in the air fryer. We will also have them with a can of chili.
