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, will be titled Weekly Meal Plan 1 - Jan 3-9. Next year the plans will be updated for the corresponding dates with 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!
Meal Planning Tips
Here are some shortcuts and tips for this week's menu!
- Leftovers of broccoli soup and alphabet soup freeze great! The broccoli soup is also delicious over a baked potato to repurpose for a whole new meal.
- Leftover fajitas are terrific for lunch on day two! You can also use them to make a yummy frittata!
- The pot sticker recipe makes a lot. Freeze extras (before cooking) on a sheet pan. When they are completely frozen, place in a ziplock bag and return to the freezer until you're ready to enjoy them. Allow to thaw completely, then cook as directed.
