Here's your FREE Weekly Meal Plan for Week 11, March 14-20. It's chaotic when dinnertime rolls around! Kids coming are hungry, hubby is getting home and everyone is hungry. That's why I highly suggest having a meal plan in place.
I hope these menus are helping you to stay on budget and save time in the kitchen! If you have any suggestions or need, let me know. I'd love your input. Together we can enjoy delicious affordable meals!

Meal planning and prepping tips
If you're new here...
Every week, I share a free meal plan for you to use the following week. You'll have seven main dish recipes, along with a few extras and of course dessert.
Typically the weekly meal plans are named by number of the week and date. For example, if the plan is for the first week of January, I'll name it Weekly Meal Plan 1 - Jan 3-9. Next year the plans will be updated for the corresponding dates and tasty new recipes!
Don't forget - if you have a busy day and plan on eating out, just drop a day off the menu and adjust the meal plan to fit YOUR busy life!
Here are some shortcuts and tips for this week's menu!
- Chicken Spaghetti lasts 3-4 days in the fridge and leftovers freeze great!.
- Leftovers of Taco's Al Pastor make a great topping for nachos or pulled pork sandwiches.
- Leftovers of Colcannon potatoes last up to three days. I've also stiffened up leftovers with flour and formed them into little pancakes. Frying them in butter makes for some tasty potato pancakes!
- Make the pizza dough on Sunday. Split it into three portions and freeze. Remove from the freezer Thursday night and leave it on the counter to thaw and warm completely. It will be perfect when you're ready to cook Friday night.
