MEAL PLAN WITH RECIPE LINKS – 10/28 – 11/03/23

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 – 10/28/23
  • Tonight we will be going out to dinner to celebrate a family birthday, so no meal to share for tonight!
• Sunday – 10/29/23
  • Tonight we will be having Chili with Corn Dumplings. Perfect for an easy fall meal!

• Monday – 10/30/23
  • Today we will be having a simple one-pot dish of Philly Cheesesteak Pasta. You can find a video of me making this recipe here.

• Tuesday – 10/31/23
  • Every Tuesday, we do some type of Mexican theme meal. Tonight we are going to do a Southwest Skillet!

• Wednesday – 11/01/23
  • 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 – 11/02/23
  • Thursday we usually do some type of soup and grilled cheese, or breakfast for dinner. Tonight we will be having Instant Pot Broccoli Cheddar Soup.

• Friday – 11/03/23
  • 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.
