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!

If you make a bone-in ham, don't toss the ham bone! Add it to your soup this week, it will impart all it's flavor into the stew!

Make the Rhubarb Pie Saturday night so it's ready for Easter dinner! The sweet potatoes can be made up to three days ahead of time.

Ham salad will keep in the fridge three days - it's an easy dinner and great for lunches during the week.

Black eyed pea soup freezes great! It can be frozen up to three months as well.

Glazed Ham

Happy Easter! If you're cooking for the holiday, here's my favorite recipe to enjoy; Marmalade Glazed Ham.

Cooked yams with a sweet glaze in white bowl, ready to serve. — Easy to make spicy mango salsa.

Candied Sweet Potatoes

Pair this with this easy candied sweet potatoes with Karo Syrup recipe. This has been our family go-to for YEARS! Always super yummy and perfect with ham.

Now if you'd prefer scalloped potatoes here's another yummy recipe to try!

Steamed Green Beans

Another great side dish with ham is steamed vegetables, whether it's Brussels sprouts or green beans, steaming keeps them light and crispy!

Cornbread with honey being drizzled over the top and sides.

Skillet Cornbread

We're going all out for today's holiday celebration and rounding out this meal with this amazing Skillet Corn Bread. What a great meal!

April 5

Polenta in blue bowl topped with cojita cheese and charred corn salsa. — This polenta is savory and so easy to make, you will love it!

Polenta Bowl

Yesterday's meal was super fabulous, right? But also kinda sorta heavy so we're keeping it light today with this yummy polenta bowl.

Polenta is creamy and rich. This bowl, topped with a roasted corn salsa, is fantastic!

April 6

Ham Salad

This Deviled Ham recipe is crunchy and salty! It's delicious as a sandwich, in a wrap, or topping a green salad. Make this with leftover ham from Sunday's dinner - so good!
