You are going to love these hearty meals in this weeks meal plan. I love making the Slow Cooker Mississippi Pork Roast on the weekend. It makes a great Sunday meal!
If you love variety on your menu then this week is for you! I included chicken, beef, shrimp and pasta! Make sure to include sides like my classic Perfectly Soft Buttery Rolls and my go-to Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad.
How Many Does it Feed?
This free weekly meal plan is just what you need to get your week started. It provides five meals that will feed 4-6 (depending on if you are feeding adults or kids), AND it includes a shopping list! With fresh new ideas and easy-to-make recipes, having a weekly menu plan will be a lifesaver.
French Onion Pasta
French Onion Pasta has all of the delicious flavors of the classic soup in pasta form! Caramelized onions, garlic, mushrooms, and thyme are combined with beef broth, pasta, Worcestershire sauce and parmesan cheese to create an incredible dish. Everything is made in one pot for a quick and easy weeknight meal!
Grilled Tri-Tip
Grilled Tri-Tip is a flavorful, juicy steak that will be the star of your barbecue! It’s marinated in a simple, yet tasty marinade, then grilled to perfection. Serve with my sweet and savory chimichurri sauce and your favorite sides for an impressive meal that everyone will love!
Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup
If you want a bright, light and filling dinner, then this lemon chicken orzo soup is for you! A savory and vibrant lemon chicken broth combined with orzo pasta is the perfect pair for a flavorful and delicious soup that is as satisfying as it is tasty.
Better-Than-Takeout Hunan Shrimp
Crispy coated shrimp gets pan-fried to golden perfection in this better-than-takeout recipe! Tossed with tender veggies in a savory-sweet sauce, Hunan Shrimp is sure to be a new favorite in your dinner rotation.
Slow Cooker Mississippi Pork Roast
Slow Cooker Mississippi Pork Roast is a savory, sweet and spicy pork roast that is tender to the touch and falls apart with ease.
Why Should I Meal Plan?
If you haven’t tried planning your meals ahead of time, this is going to be a game-changer for you! Here’s why I swear by meal planning:
- Time Saver: No more 4:00 PM panic about dinner. With a menu plan, you know exactly what’s on the menu, what you need, and how long it takes to cook.
- Money Saver: Meal planning works wonders for your wallet. When you organize your shopping list for the week, then you’ll easily spot opportunities to buy in bulk and creatively repurpose leftovers for future meals. It’s a clever approach that keeps more money in your pocket.
- Bye-Bye Takeout: When your dinners are planned ahead of time and groceries are stocked, you’re less likely to hit the drive-thru. Because you are cooking at home, that means more savings and healthier eating. Win-win!
Side Dishes for Dinner
My weekly meal plans always include a printable shopping list that is measured out and ready to go. It makes things so easy!
Storing Leftovers for Meal Planning
I only meal plan Monday-Friday because we sometimes have plans over the weekend or I have leftovers that we can have to finish off the week! If you do have leftovers, make sure to store them properly in an airtight container in your fridge.
