MEAL PLAN WITH RECIPE LINKS – 09/24 – 09/30/22

meal plan with recipes

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 -09/24/22
    • Tonight we will be having fried chicken cutlets. I just slice the chicken thin, dip in egg and breadcrumb, and fry it up in a frying pan. As a side, I will be making Baked Feta Pasta.
  • Monday – 09/26/22
    • Tonight we will be doing Rib Eye steak for dinner. I just marinate the steak with some McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning, oil, and wine vinegar. Then throw it on the grill, or broil to your desired doneness. As a side dish, I will be making Broccoli-Pasta Side Dish.
  • Tuesday – 09/27/22
    • Every Tuesday, we do some type of Mexican theme meal. Tonight we are going to do Taco Tuesday! I don’t have a recipe the 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 – 09/28/22
    • Wednesdays are usually seafood nights. Tonight we will have 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 side dishes, we will be having Cauliflower au Gratin and Crispy Air Fried Sweet Potato Wedges.
  • Thursday – 09/29/22
    • We try to keep things really simple on Thursdays because this is the night that I go grocery shopping! Tonight we will be doing Stuffed Pepper Soup. We will be serving this with grilled cheese sandwiches.
  • Friday – 09/30/22
    • Tonight I will be making a simple dish of Beef with Peas. I will be cooking up some white rice to serve it over.
