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!
Weekly Meal Plan 23 - shortcuts and tips
- Chili Lime Chicken - grill a double-batch, use the leftovers for sandwiches and in the Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad recipe AND the Ramen Bowl!
- Roast Beef Meal - save the juice/gravy from the roast beef, and use it beef barley soup along with leftover meat - great way to repurpose leftovers and save $$'s!
- Beef Barley Soup - leftovers freeze great!

- Apples, berries and grapes, will last longer if kept in their original packaging and stored in the crisper of your fridge.
- Do not wash berries until you're ready to use them, they mold quickly when they are damp.
- Perforated plastic bags help keep fruit fresh longer by releasing moisture.
