Meal Plan and Grocery List - Week 4/24-4/30

Meals and grocery list for the week! I'll order groceries soon too.  I'm trying to keep it simple this week. No recipes needed.  I will post this weekend what I do step by step. 

The Turkey/cabbage stir fry is one of my new favorite recipes.  You can transform this into anything you want. I've added soy sauce and ginger for an Asian kick,  Italian seasonings for Italian, and Cumin/chili powder for a more Mexican flavor. It is also made quick and easy by using the pre-shredded cabbage/slaw mixes.  Anything where I don't  have to chop a lot is a win for me.

Enjoy!

Meal Plan

Meal 1 – Turkey Cabbage Stir Fry
Ground Turkey
Cabbage - I will use pre-shredded lettuce to save time.


Recipes needed:
None
This is quick and easy.  You will brown your turkey. Then add in Slaw, Can of diced Tomatoes (or two), a Tablespoon (or two) of Apple Cider Vinegar and spices.  I use Salt, pepper, Garlic Powder, onion powder, and either cumin or Italian seasonings.)

Meal 2 – Chicken Parmesan over Sauteed Vegetables
Chicken
Zucchini/Squash/Onions - Can add whatever veggie you want really.


Recipes Needed:
None
I will slice up some squash, zucchini, and onions and saute them in a pan until soft.  I will then place this as the bottom layer in a 13x9 in greased baking dish.  I will brown my chicken on  both sides and place on top of the veggies.  Then you can pour some of your favorite Pasta sauce (or make your own) on top of each tender.  And Bake! (You can add cheese if you like.)



Meal 3 – Roasted Chicken Tenders with Side Salad
Chicken Tenders
Salad - Mixed lettuces with cucumbers and any other veggies I have.

Weekend Meal Prep - Easter Weekend

Image
First, I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend! Ours has been beyond blessed. We spent all day Saturday at the ball fields then today, our oldest two got baptized. My heart is so full right now! Since we were going to be busy, I split the meal prep into two days instead of all on one day. As it happens on most weekends, I ended up altering my original meal plan I had posted earlier.  I decided to not fix the rice with the taco salads.  I also added some roasted asparagus because my parents gave us some they had just picked out of their garden.  What is better than fresh?  Our grill is also out of commission so I made Sauteed Garlic Chicken.  That is one of the things I LOVE about cooking.  I can take each recipe and make it work for us. If you notice, I use parchment paper when cooking anything in the oven.  This is to save me time. The parchment paper keeps foods from sticking to my pan. It also keeps my pan from getting very dirty which ma...

Weekend Meal Prep 4/29 and 4/30

A day late and a dollar short! I normally post these on Sunday, but didn't have time.  I again altered my plan from earlier in the week.  For Meal #3 instead of roasted chicken, I grilled it.  I also had some fresh veggies leftover from Meal #1 so I decided to grill those too.  Out grill finally kicked the bucket at the very end of the summer/fall last year, and we decided not to replace it until it was time to grill again this year. Well we got a grill this weekend and I was more than ready to use it! Day 1 - Chicken Parmesan over Sauteed Vegetables. For this, I had no recipe. I started by preheating my oven to 425 and chopping up my veggies. I used 1 lb of zucchini, 1 lb of squash, and a few onions.  You can add whatever you want to for this. I then heated up 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the pan and sauteed these veggies until tender.  I also added some salt and pepper to taste.  Once done, I placed these in the bottom of a greased 9x13 i...

Weekend Meal Prep 5/06

SO, I had taken some beautiful pictures of all my food, but somehow my camera ate them. I am an engineer and yet my camera and computer teamed up against me and I can't retrieve some pictures. I did happen to save a few though. We only cooked one time this week. I had went to a local grocery store to get meat for the grill and noticed they had chicken and pork on sale. I went ahead and stocked up on this and didn't cook any of the fish. I started out by getting the meat marinated.  My husband requested a homemade white sauce, so I went ahead. With the chicken, I will eat mine with the skin removed, so I didn't see it as a big deal. All my white sauce includes is a Little bit of Mayo, A lot of vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can add more  mayo or less vinegar depending on your tastes. Some people like their white sauce sweet, so add sugar if this is the case. I mixed up my white sauce and added the pork tenderloin and chicken to it. I let it marinate unti...
