Have you stared weekly meal planning? If you are new to it- check out my post & step by step guide to weekly meal planning. It has been life changing for our household! There are 3 things that I do that make planning our weekly menu so much simpler:
- Follow my weekly meal planner guide
- Use 2 Home Chef meals a week (I always pick the oven ready options)
- Writing our meals down on my FREE weekly dinner printable
Here is our menu for the week:
Monday:
Salmon with dill crema (Home Chef Meal)
We were supposed to make this last week, but some dinners got rearranged!!
Tuesday:
Chicken Thighs with Green beans
Wednesday:
Chili & Cinnamon Roll Muffins
Crockpot Chili
- 2 lbs hamburger
- chili powder, garlic powder, cumin paprika, salt and pepper
- 1 can kidney beans
- 1 can black beans
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- Cook hamburger until done
- Add all ingredients to a crockpot
- Cook on low 8 hours, let cool
- Put into freezer bags (if making ahead of time)
Cinnamon Roll Muffins (we tried this recipe out a couple of weeks ago from somethewiser.com and LOVED it- yum)
Thursday:
Thanksgiving
Like everyone our Thanksgiving will look a little different this year- below find our menu for the day. I am using a lot of recipes from Fed and Fit’s Thanksgiving guide
- Roasted Turkey breast (I am excited about this recipe from Fed and Fit)
- Stuffing
- Green bean Casserole
- Cranberries
- Mashed Potatoes in the Instantpot
- Gravy
- Macaroni & Cheese
- Brussel Sprouts
In our household we used to think Brussel Sprouts were ga-ross!! I had tried a couple of recipes and they just weren’t doing it for me. But we came across this recipe and holly moly- they are our favs! Even my kids LOVE them.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
-
- If you have large brussel sprouts, cut in half. Put them on a cookie sheet & drizzle olive oil over & sprinkle with salt
- Roast them for anywhere from 20-40 minutes depending on the size. You want them to be crispy and slightly browned, but watch them because they can go from perfect to burnt to a crisp quickly!
While they are roasting, make the sauce-
-
- 2 TBLHoney, 1 tsp Sriracha & a splash of lime juice
- Once they are done, let them cool slightly. Then add some more salt to taste.
Friday:
Crispy Dijon Chicken (Home Chef Meal)
Saturday:
Pork Egg roll in a bowl (Home Chef Meal)
Sunday:
