MEAL PLAN WITH RECIPE LINKS – 01/21 – 01/27/23
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 – 01/21/23
- Tonight we will be having a Juicy Roasted Chicken! We will be serving with Chef John’s Perfect Mashed Potatoes and frozen vegetables.
- Sunday – 01/22/23
- Today I decided I am going to make lasagna! The recipe I will be making is for the World’s Best Lasagna. We will be serving a bagged salad on the side.
- Monday – 01/23/23
- 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 it to your desired doneness. As a side dish, I will be making Easy Oven Roasted Potatoes and frozen vegetables..
- Tuesday – 01/24/23
- 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 – 01/25/23
- Wednesday is seafood night most weeks. This week we are having Shrimp Scampi Bake. When the shrimp is done, I toss it with some cooked spaghetti to make a nice shrimp pasta meal. The shrimp dish cooks really quickly, so I usually get the water going for the past before I put the shrimp in the oven.
- Thursday – 01/26/23
- 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 – 01/27/23
- Today I will be making some quick and easy Baked Chicken Nuggets. For a side dish, I will be making Peas & Pasta.
