MEAL PLAN WITH RECIPE LINKS – 10/29 – 11/04/22
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 – 10/29/22
- 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 a side dish, I will be making Cheesy Instant Pot Rice and Vegetables.
- Sunday – 10/30/22
- Today we will be making Chef John’s Meatballs and Baked Ziti to complete the meal!
- Monday – 10/31/22
- Tonight we will be ordering food so that I can enjoy seeing the trick-or-treaters!
- Tuesday – 11/01/22
- Every Tuesday, we do some type of Mexican theme. For tonight, I will be making Southwest Ground Beef and Sweet Potato Skillet.
- Wednesday – 11/02/22
- 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 into pieces and lay over the shrimp on the baking sheet. I will be serving this with Instant Pot Fried Rice.
- Thursday – 11/03/22
- We try to keep things really simple on Thursdays because this is the night that I go grocery shopping! Tonight we will be doing Instant Pot Chicken and Rice Soup.
- Friday – 11/04/22
- Tonight I will be making a simple dish of Beef with Peas. I will be cooking up some white rice to serve it over.
