MEAL PLAN WITH RECIPE LINKS – 03/02 – 03/08/24

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 – 03/02/24
  • Today I will not be cooking because we have a family party!
• Sunday – 03/03/24
  • Tonight we will be having Creamy Italian Instant Pot Chicken Breast with Easy Rice Bake Casserole.

• Monday – 03/04/24
  • For tonight I will be making turkey meatloaf. The recipe I have been making since my kids were little is the JENNIE-Os Best Ever Meatloaf. For side dishes, I will be making some boxed shells and cheese and some Carrot Fries. I have a video on my YouTube Channel of me making the carrot fries. Click here to see it!

• Tuesday – 03/05/24
  • Tonight is our Mexican theme meal night! We will be having Homemade Nachos with Ground Beef.

• Wednesday – 03/06/24
  • We usually rotate some type of seafood on Wednesdays. Tonight we will be having Bacon Wrapped Barbeque Shrimp. I have mentioned previously that I do not actually wrap the shrimp when I make this recipe. Instead, I cut up the bacon into pieces and lay over the shrimp on the baking sheet. I will be serving this with Easy Fried Rice.

• Thursday – 03/07/24
  • Thursday we usually do some type of soup and grilled cheese, or breakfast for dinner. This is the night that I go food shopping, so I don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking. Tonight we will be doing Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole.
• Friday – 03/01/24
  • Tonight we will be having hamburgers with Oven Fresh Seasoned Potato Wedges and a can of pork and beans.
