A while ago I decided to start meal planning as a way to stick to a grocery budget, make dinner time easier by knowing each night what we were having and making sure we had the items to cook those meals. Each week I hope to share with you my dinner meals for the week. I usually don't plan breakfast or lunch simply because breakfast usually consist of cereal, eggs, toast, etc. and our lunches usually consist of leftovers, peanut butter & jelly, frozen nuggets etc. We also dont eat a lot of red meat because of past history of high cholestrol levels. Below you will find this weeks meals.
The main structure for my meal plans are:
1 pasta/spaghetti meal
3 chicken meals
1 breakfast or leftover night.
1 fish
1 taco or pizza night we rotate on Fridays
(I use ground turkey in the place of ground beef for all meals. Also sometimes instead of doing breakfast, leftover or fish I will do another meal using ground turkey for example; meatloaf, hamburgers, sloppy joe's etc.)
Meals Week 12th-18th
Mon. Baked chicken, rice and corn
Tues. Breakfast for dinner (either homemade pancakes or omelettes)
Wed. grilled chicken, pasta salad, and green beans
Thurs. Tuna cakes, macaroni & cheese and corn
Fri. Taco Night
Sat. having bday party for youngest daughter so will have party leftovers
Sun. Roasted whole chicken, au graten potatoes, mixed veggies
