MEAL PLAN WITH RECIPE LINKS – 09/14 – 09/20/24

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 – 09/14/24
  • Today we will be making Chef John’s Meatballs and Baked Ziti to complete the meal!
• Sunday – 09/15/24
  • Tonight we will be making one of my favorite baked chicken recipes. I will be making Oven-Baked Chicken. I usually make this with bone-in chicken thighs, but it comes out great with legs too! For side dishes, I will be making Chef John’s Mashed Potatoes and some frozen vegetables.

• Monday – 09/16/24
  • For tonight I will be making turkey meatloaf. The recipe I have been making since my kids were little is the JENNIE-Os Best Ever Meatloaf. For side dishes, I will be making some boxed shells and cheese and some frozen vegetables.

• Tuesday – 09/17/24
  • Every Tuesday, we do some type of Mexican theme meal. Tonight we are going to do Taco Tuesday! I don’t have a recipe the share for the tacos, but I can tell you how I serve them. For the meat, I cook up some ground beef 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 – 09/18/24
  • Wednesday is seafood night most weeks. This week we are having Sheet-Pan Salmon with Sweet Potatoes & Broccoli.

• Thursday – 09/19/24
  • Thursday we usually do some type of soup and grilled cheese, or breakfast for dinner. Tonight we will be having some Zuppa Tuscana – Italian Sausage Potato Soup!
• Friday – 09/20/24
  • Tonight we will be having hamburgers with Oven Fresh Seasoned Potato Wedges and a can of pork and beans.
