MEAL PLAN WITH RECIPE LINKS – 12/02 – 12/08/23

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 – 12/02/23
  • We will have a simple One Pot Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta dinner tonight.
• Sunday – 12/03/23
  • Today I will be making some Asparagus and Mozzerella Stuffed Chicken Breast. For a side dish, I will be making microwaved baked potatoes.

• Monday – 12/04/23
  • Tonight I will be making Quick Baked Chicken Parmesan. As the name states, it’s a quick chicken parmesan recipe with no frying. You just bread the chicken breast, bake it, then add the sauce and cheese and bake a little longer. It’s a pretty simple recipe. I will be serving spaghetti with jarred sauce as a side dish. You could also make chicken parmesan sandwiches with this!

• Tuesday – 12/05/23
  • Every Tuesday, we do some type of Mexican theme meal. Tonight we are going to do a Southwest Skillet!

• Wednesday – 12/06/23
  • Wednesday is seafood night most weeks. This week we are having Easy Shrimp Scampi. When the shrimp is done, I serve it with some cooked linguine to make a nice shrimp pasta meal.

• Thursday – 12/07/23
  • For tonight I will be making a simple crockpot meal! We will be having Cheesy Chicken Tater Tot Casserole.

• Friday – 12/08/23
  • 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.
