Meal planning
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!
Prepping tips
The Ritz Cracker Chicken Casserole freezes well, up to three months.
Double the Pan Fried Vegetable Recipe, they are great for a snack or you can enjoy them with the French Onion Chicken later in the week!
You'll want to set aside a cup of the Butternut Squash Soup. You'll use that for the sauce for the pasta on Saturday.
White Bean Turkey Chili freezes terrific as well!
