MEAL PLAN WITH RECIPE LINKS – 07/09 – 07/15/22

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 that this can help you with some ideas of what you might want to make this week.

• Saturday -07/09/22
  • Tonight we will be having Greek Chicken Gyros with Tzaziki. I am excited to be trying this new recipe.

• Sunday – 07/10/22
  • Today I will be making some quick and easy Baked Chicken Nuggets. For side dishes, I will be making Mexican Corn on The Cob in Air Fryer and Loaded Potato Salad.

• Monday – 07/11/22
  • Tonight will be hamburger night which I do every other Monday. For my daughter that doesn’t eat regular hamburgers, I will be making some Best-Ever Turkey Burgers. I will be serving this with a can of pork and beans and Oven Fresh Seasoned Potato Wedges.

• Tuesday – 07/12/22
  • Every Tuesday, we do some type of Mexican theme. For tonight, I will be making Chicken Chimichangas with Sour Cream Sauce. I have never actually made the sauce that goes along with this recipe, I just short-cut it and serve sour cream on the side. We will also put out some salsa and avocado.

• Wednesday – 07/13/22
  • Wednesdays are usually seafood nights. Tonight we will be having fried flounder. I don’t have a recipe for the flounder. To make it, I just dip the flounder in egg and breadcrumbs and then fry them up. For a side dish, I will be making Mushroom Rice and Crispy Air Fried Sweet Potato Wedges.

• Thursday – 07/14/22
  • We try to keep things really simple on Thursdays because this is the night that I go grocery shopping! Tonight we will be doing Instant Pot Chicken and Rice Soup.

• Friday – 07/15/22
  • Tonight we will be having French Dip Sandwiches. I don’t have a link for this recipe. However, all you have to do is put all of the following ingredients into your crockpot and cook on low all day: 3 pounds chuck roast, 1 envelope onion soup mix, 1 packet au jus gravy mix, and 1 14-ounce can of beef broth. When it’s done, serve with some rolls and swiss or provolone cheese!
