MEAL PLAN WITH RECIPE LINKS – 05/20 – 05/26/23

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 – 05/20/23
  • Tonight we will be having Greek Chicken Gyros with Tzaziki. These come out so good!

• Sunday – 05/21/23
  • For tonight I will make a one-pan meal, one of my favorites. We will be having roasted Chicken, Sausage, Peppers, and Potatoes.

• Monday – 05/22/23
  • Tonight we will have hamburgers for dinner. I make these every other week. This is one of those that I don’t have an actual recipe to share with you. I just make them very simply by making patties with ground beef. Sometimes I’ll throw a little bit of McCormick hamburger seasoning on them. I will also make a can of pork and beans, and Oven Fresh Seasoned Potato Wedges.

• Tuesday – 05/23/23
  • Tonight is Chipotle night. This is one of the meals we rotate for our Mexican theme Tuesday night meals. We make homemade Chipotle-style bowls. Everyone makes their own how they like it! I take some chicken breast and slice it up into bite-size pieces. Then I toss it with a little olive oil, seasoned salt, and chili powder. I then broil the chicken for about 15 – 20 minutes to get it a little crispy. I serve the chicken with brown rice, shredded cheddar, black beans, salsa, avocado, sour cream, etc. To make it really quick, I use instant brown rice that I cook in the microwave while the chicken is cooking. Just put out whatever you might like to add to your bowl. It’s such a quick easy meal!

• Wednesday – 05/24/23
  • 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 – 05/25/23
  • 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 try to keep things simple. Tonight we will be having Easy Clam Chowder with some oyster crackers!

• Friday – 05/26/23
  • Tonight we will have some chicken breast on the grill. I slice the chicken thin, and marinade with olive oil, white wine vinegar, and McCormick Montreal Chicken seasoning. As a side, I will be making Baked Feta Pasta.
