Meal Plan and Grocery List - Week 08/06 - 08/12

We have a big week coming up.  Not only do our kids start a new school  year, but my husband and I are celebrating our anniversary! So, with that in mind, we will have a special meal this week of grilled steak! 

 Going to still keep it simple, because we have vegetables coming out of the garden and I have been busy canning up Tomatoes, Spaghetti sauce, and Salsa.  Also, since I am making all this, I'm going to use them this week!

 I have been craving pizza. Like really bad.  Pizza is my spirit animal, so I have found a low carb "Pizza casserole" that I hope will curb this craving. :) 


Meal 1 – Pizza Casserole with Salad
Pizza! (No crust)
Garden Salad
Probably side of pasta for the kids.


Recipes needed:

Going to use my homemade spaghetti sauce for this.  Also, going to use Ground Turkey because its a leaner meat.   I will also leave off the Black olives, because my husband dislikes them. 


Meal 2 – Taco Salad Bowls with Brown Rice
Tacos
Brown Rice

Recipes Needed:

Easy peasy meal! Who doesn't love tacos? You can use pre-packaged taco seasoning, or if you are feeling froggy make your own.  I'm going the easy route this week because I already have some seasoning in my cabinet. I'm making my husband and I taco salad bowls.  I will make the kids taco wraps.  This will also be an excellent meal for their lunches for school. 


Meal 3 – Grilled Steak and Grilled Veggies
Steak
Vegetables

Recipes needed:
none

Season your steak with Moore's or just salt and pepper and grill until its cooked the way you like it. I will grab whatever vegetables are on sale.  Zucchini, squash, asparagus and onions are my fave for the grill.  Coat them with salt, pepper, garlic powder and olive oil.  Then grill until they are cooked enough for you.  We prefer them a little burnt off the grill. :)  Also, this can double as a breakfast....steak and eggs anyone???

Meal Plan and Grocery List for Weekend of April 15

I have compiled my meal plan and grocery list for the week!  I did not put quantities on the grocery list because this depends on how many servings you need.  I know I will make 8-10 servings of each meal, so I will need at least 4 lbs of Ground Turkey and 5 lbs of Chicken Breasts.  I'll also adjust the side dishes.  I will be buying 4lbs of Sweet Potatoes, and 2 heads of Broccoli.  So this can be altered to suit your needs. If you want to substitute ingredients do not feel obligated to follow this line for line!  For example, on the fish recipe, I do not want to use butter.  So, I will substitute this out for either coconut or olive oil. Or lets say I don't like broccoli but love mushrooms and asparagus.  Well, roast the heck out of your mushrooms and asparagus. :)  I have learned that recipes are very forgiving (Unless you are baking!!).  I substitute ingredients all the time. You may also be thinking, "What about the kids??"  My kids love tacos, so I will buy s

Meal Plan and Grocery List - Week 4/17-4/23

I have  compiled my meals and grocery list for the week.    No quantities are placed on the grocery list so that you can cater it to your needs. For example, I will double the recipe for the paprika chicken because I have 5 people to feed, and I want multiple meals to come out of it. I did not list a recipe for the hamburger steak with onions and mushrooms.  This is because I do not have one.  I will post what I do exactly but it’s pretty simple.  You season your ground beef and make into patties. You then place in a skillet and cook until done. See told you it was easy.  I will probably make myself some turkey burgers instead of using the ground beef, but this is because it fits more into my diet.  My husband and kids want regular hamburger steaks, so that’s what I’ll cook for them.  (I also have enough chicken and shrimp that I may not need to make me a separate meal. It depends on how much time I get) I did not list a breakfast item again, because I will be making my

Weekend Meal Prep 4/22 and 4/23

Image
Rain came so all our ballgames were canceled. This gave us more time to get some things completed around the house that we have been putting off. I have cleaned (ok mostly) the house and caught up on laundry and my husband got the garden planted! Can't wait for those fresh tomatoes to come in from the garden! I split the cooking across two days again so that I didn't have to do it all in one day. Day 1 - I cooked two of the meals.  They were the Paprika chicken and Rice bake and the Hamburger Steak. Recipes needed: https://www.buzzfeed.com/clairenolan/paprika-chicken-rice-bake?utm_term=.ac9kkWEox&bffbtasty&ref=bffbtasty#.vu5WWPOX5   I want to say, I am unsure if I will cook the paprika chicken again like this.  It turned out more greasy than I would want.  I am unsure if it is because I swapped out the white rice for brown rice but even then, do I want to eat rice that has soaked up grease?  They chicken was flavorful and ohh so juicy! But I'm throwing the
