MEAL PLAN WITH RECIPE LINKS – 07/29 – 08/04/23

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 – 07/29/23
  • Tonight we will be cooking on the grill. I will be making Cuban Style Pork Chops . This is one of my favorite pork chop recipes to make on the grill in the summer. They take a little bit more prep time, so I don’t make them too often. For a side, we will be having Hellman’s Potato Salad.
• Sunday – 07/30/23
  • Tonight we will be making Bow Ties with Sausage, Tomatoes and Cream. I don’t usually make sides with this, it’s enough as a meal all on its own. But, you could definitely serve it with a salad.

• Monday – 07/31/23
  • Tonight we will be cooking some chicken breast on the grill. I just marinade in white wine vinegar and olive oil with Montreal Chicken seasoning before grilling. For sides we will be having Air Fryer Roasted Cauliflower and a Caprese Salad.

• Tuesday – 08/01/23
  • Every Tuesday, we do some type of Mexican theme meal. Tonight we are going to do Cheesy Chicken Nachos!

• Wednesday – 08/02/23
  • 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 – 08/03/23
  • This is going to be breakfast for dinner night! We will be making a French Toast Casserole.

• Friday – 08/04/23
  • Tonight we will be having hamburgers for dinner. I make these every other week. This is one of those that I don’t have a real 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 be making a can of pork and beans and Oven Fresh Seasoned Potato Wedges.
