MEAL PLAN WITH RECIPE LINKS – 05/18 – 05/24/24

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 – 05/18/24
  • Tonight I will be making one of my favorite pork chop recipes which is Oven “Fried” Breaded Pork Chops. The pork chops are breaded with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and crushed corn flakes. I really like that combo for the breading on these. For sides dish, I will be making Crispy Air Fried Potato Wedges and Cheesy Instant Pot Rice and Vegetables.
• Sunday – 05/19/24
  • Tonight we will be having Sausage and Vegetable Sheet Pan Dinner. It’s a great simple meal!

• Monday – 05/20/24
  • 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 PA Dutch Corn Pie.

• Tuesday – 05/21/24
  • Every Tuesday, we do some type of Mexican theme meal. Tonight we are going to do Taco Tuesday! I don’t have a recipe to 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 – 05/22/24
  • On Wednesdays we usually do seafood. Tonight we will be having salmon, which has become a regular in our rotation now that I found this really easy way to cook it that comes out delicious! I use individually frozen pieces of salmon from BJs. Then I brush them with olive oil and sprinkle some McCormick Smokehouse Maple seasoning on them. Then bake at 450 for 10 to 12 minutes. I will be serving some egg noodles tossed with butter and olive oil. We will also have some frozen vegetables with this meal.

• Thursday – 05/23/24
  • Tonight we will have breakfast for dinner with some Baked Oatmeal with a side of breakfast sausage.
• Friday – 05/24/24
  • Hot dogs are on the menu tonight! I serve these with some diced potatoes, peppers, and onions tossed in some olive oil and cooked up in the air fryer. We will also have them with a can of chili.
