MEAL PLAN WITH RECIPE LINKS – 03/30 – 04/05/24

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 – 03/30/24
  • Tonight we will be having Creamy Italian Instant Pot Chicken Breast with Easy Rice Bake Casserole.
• Sunday – 03/31/24
  • This Sunday is Easter. So far, this is what we have on the menu:
  • Always Juicy Baked Ham
  • Special Italian Easter Pizza
  • Creamy Cheesy Spinach – in crockpot place 2 pks frozen chopped spinach, 16 ounces small curd cottage cheese, 1/4 cup sliced butter, 1/2 pound American cheese, 3 eggs beaten, 1/4 cup flour, 1/8 tsp salt. Cook on low 4 to 5 hours.
  • Corn Casserole III
  • Chef John’s Mashed Potatoes

• Monday – 04/01/24
  • 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 a box of flavored rice and some frozen vegetables.

• Tuesday – 04/02/24
  • Every Tuesday, we do some type of Mexican theme meal. Tonight we are going to do a Southwest Skillet!

• Wednesday – 04/03/24
  • 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 – 04/04/24
  • Tonight I will be making a really easy crockpot meal! We will be having Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff. I will also make some white rice to go on the side.
• Friday – 04/05/24
  • Tonight we will be having hamburgers with Oven Fresh Seasoned Potato Wedges and a can of pork and beans.
