MEAL PLAN WITH RECIPE LINKS – 12/31 – 01/06/23

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 – 12/31/22
  • This Saturday is New Year’s Eve. We are keeping it simple and just having appetizers for dinner. This is what we have decided on so far:
  • Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
  • Baked Brie and Fig Jam Bites
  • Skinny Crescent Jalepeno Poppers
  • Pizza Pinwheels
  • Baked Ham and Cheese Party Sandwiches

• Sunday -01/01/23
  • Today we will be visiting family so I will not be cooking!

• Monday – 01/02/23
  • 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.

• Tuesday – 01/03/23
  • 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 – 01/04/23
  • We usually rotate some type of seafood on Wednesdays. Tonight we will be having One Pot Garlic Butter Shrimp and Orzo. I will be making some frozen vegetables on the side!

• Thursday – 01/05/23
  • Thursday we usually do some type of soup and grilled cheese, or breakfast for dinner. Tonight we will be having Hashbrown Casserole.

• Friday – 01/06/23
  • Tonight we will be having Chicken Pot Pie Casserole. This will be a nice simple meal for a Friday night!
