MEAL PLAN WITH RECIPE LINKS – 11/26 – 12/02/22
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 – 11/26/22
- Tonight we will be making Bacon and Spinach Pasta with Parmesan.
- Sunday – 11/27/22
- For tonight I will make a one-pan meal, one of my favorites. We will be having roasted Chicken, Sausage, Peppers and Potatoes.
- Monday – 11/28/22
- 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.
- Tuesday – 11/29/22
- Tonight is Chipotle night. This is one of the meals we rotate for our Mexican theme Tuesday night meals. We make homemade Chipotle-style bowls. Everyone makes their own how they like it! I take some chicken breast and slice it up into bite-size pieces. Then I toss it with a little olive oil, seasoned salt, and chili powder. I then broil the chicken for about 15 – 20 minutes to get it a little crispy. I serve the chicken with brown rice, shredded cheddar, black beans, salsa, avocado, sour cream, etc. To make it really quick, I use instant brown rice that I cook in the microwave while the chicken is cooking. Just put out whatever you might like to add to your bowl. It’s such a quick easy meal!
- Wednesday – 11/30/22
- We have a family birthday today, so we will be ordering in food!
- Thursday – 12/01/22
- 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 Split Pea Soup. If you like split pea soup and have never made it in the instant pot before, try it! It cooks so quickly. We will be serving this with grilled cheese sandwiches.
- Friday – 12/02/22
- Tonight we will be having Chicken Pot Pie Casserole. This will be a nice simple meal for a Friday night!
