MEAL PLAN WITH RECIPE LINKS – 05/28 – 06/03/22

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 that this can help you with some ideas of what you might want to make this week.

• Saturday -05/28/22
  • Today I will be making some Baked Teriyaki Chicken. This recipe does have a longer cooking time. So, just make sure you have some time to spare. For sides I will be making some cauliflower rice and some Roasted Rainbow Vegetables in the Air Fryer.

• Sunday – 05/29/22
  • Tonight we will be cooking out on the grill! I will be making chicken sausages and Grilled Chicken Breastwhich I like to marinate in some olive oil and white vinegar with Montreal Chicken Season. Then i just throw it on the grill! As a side, I will be serving Classic Macaroni Salad, and a Mexican Bean Salad.

• Monday – 05/30/22
  • 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 to your desired doneness. For side dishes, we will be having Vegetarian Tater Tot Casserole II and a bagged salad.

• Tuesday – 05/31/22
  • 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 some 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 – 06/01/22
  • 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 in pieces and lay over the shrimp on the baking sheet. I will be serving with Mexican White Rice and Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts.

• Thursday – 06/02/22
  • 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 breakfast for dinner. I will be making some Turkey Bacon in the Oven. Ever since I discovered making bacon in the oven, I don’t know if I will ever fry it again. It’s so much easier, and tastes great! I will also be making some scrambled eggs and home fries in the air fryer. For the home fries, I just dice up potatoes, peppers, and onions. Then, I toss them with some olive oil, salt, and pepper and just throw them in the air fryer. They could be roasted in the oven also!

• Friday – 06/02/22
  • Tonight we will be having Broccoli Chicken Divan with some white rice on the side.
