You can hear the audio version of this meal plan on my podcast at Lola’s Frugal Life Podcast, on Apple Podcast, and on many other platforms!

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 – 07/13/24
- 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 a side dish, I will be making some frozen chicken fried rice from Costco.
Sunday – 07/14/24
- Tonight we will be cooking on the grill. I will be making boneless grilled chicken breast using a great marinade and some brats in the air fryer. To go along with the chicken, I will be making Hellmann’s Classic Macaroni Salad.

Monday – 07/15/24
- Tonight we will be making Bow Ties with Sausage, Tomatoes and Cream.

Tuesday – 07/16/24
- 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 – 07/17/24
- Wednesday is seafood night most weeks. This week we are having Easy Shrimp Scampi. When the shrimp is done, I serve it with some cooked spaghetti to make a nice shrimp pasta meal.

Thursday – 07/18/24
- Tonight we will have breakfast for dinner with some Baked Oatmeal with a side of breakfast sausage.
Friday – 07/19/24
- Tonight we will be having hamburgers with Oven Fresh Seasoned Potato Wedges and a can of pork and beans.
