Weekly Meal Planning

To stick to our weekly food budget, I plan my meals, shop on Wednesday, and the new weekly meal plan starts on Thursday. Also with the craziness of football I want to be able to go watch Jayden’s practices and games, so with meals already on paper and I have all the ingredients it makes it soooo much easier for us  and I am able to make different meals every night of the week- and also are NOT likely to eat out!!!! On that note here is what I made last week…..


Thursday- Homemade Chicken noodle soup- this is a recipe that is in my head and that my family LOVES. It was in the 60’s and of coarse soup is the best to have!!!! I made a HUGE batch…. Which was perfect because we had Jayden’s football coach and family over and I was able to feed them all

Friday- Beef taco’s- we have not had tacos in a LONG time!!!! I always ask Brian when I am meal planning some dinners he has been wanting and Tacos it was.

Saturday- Oven Fried Chicken- OK so I had the chicken already to go and ended up taking it over to the neighbors to BBQ so we all could watch the football game. This will go on our future meal plans.

Sunday- Spaghetti and meatballs- I made homemade meatballs (I LOVE making these because I can put veggies that the family wont eat and they have NO idea) (spinach, puréed squash)

Monday- Chicken Enchiladas, and Homemade Spanish Rice- yes that’s what I said HOMEMADE SPANISH RICE; boy was this whole meal delicious!!! I have been trying to find a homemade Spanish Rice recipe that was kind of easy for me, I found one, altered it and BAM it was AMAZING and super easy!!!!

Tuesday- Corned Beef and Potatoes in the slow cooker- this was yummy, but the smell of it cooking all day made me sick…. I asked Brian if it was the beer I poured over it as the juice, and he said no that’s the way Corned Beef smelled. Next time we have this….. My laundry room has a full counter and sink and a door….. It’s going to have to be slow cooked in there!!!!!
This week I am making….. Pepperoni Lasagna Roll Ups, Chicken Parmesan with Fried Mashed Potato Balls, Chili Con Carne, Ham Noodle Casserole, Penne Gorgonzola with Chicken, Zesty Tender Steak, and Sautéed Pork Chops.
