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 – 11/05/22
    • Tonight I will be making Instant Pot Chicken and Broccoli. I love one pot meals, and this one will come together quickly! We will be serving this over some white rice.
  • Sunday – 11/06/22
    • Tonight we will be having Pumpkin Chili with some boxed cornbread on the side!
  • Monday – 11/07/22
    • Hot dogs are on the menu tonight! We do this once a month. I also make some Home Fried Potatoes in the air fryer. I just chop up some potatoes, onion, and green peppers. Then toss them in a bowl with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper and throw them in the air fryer on 360 for about 20 – 30 minutes. Some potatoes seem to cook quicker and some are longer, so I just check them along the way and see how much more time they need. You can also roast them in the oven if you don’t have an air fryer. We use the potatoes to make Italian Hot Dogs. I am also serving this with some canned chili.
  • Tuesday – 11/08/22
    • 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 turkey 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 – 11/09/22
  • Thursday – 11/10/22
    • Thursday we usually do some type of soup and grilled cheese, or breakfast for dinner. Tonight we will be having Hashbrown Casserole.
