Happy Monday! This weeks’ meal plan is all about simplicity. All of my recipes include few ingredients – with the exception of spices. I’ve got a full week of suppers planned with links to recipes or tips where a recipe isn’t needed.
Drama of the week
If you follow me on Instagram, you saw that we have been repainting our kitchen cabinets. The project was supposed to take two weekends, but of course, projects always take longer than planned. Ironically, we decided to repaint because the cabinets were peeling badly, but we can’t seem to get all of the old paint off.
Not surprisingly, the person at the paint store said this is why most people just rip out their cabinets and buy new ones. I don’t think that would’ve saved us any time {unless we just paid a contractor to do it instead of DiY} and it definitely wouldn’t have saved us any money.
Here’s what we’re eating this week:
Monday – sheet pan pesto chicken and vegetables
Swap out the vegetables for whatever your family prefers. Just remember that some cook longer than others.
Tuesday – sweet and sour chicken and fried rice
A store-bought jar of sweet and sour sauce is an easy shortcut here.
Wednesday – slow cooker lasagna
My family does not like ricotta, so I always just leave it out.
Thursday – sausage, biscuits, and eggs
I always keep a package or two of frozen biscuits on hand for busy nights.
Friday – pizza pasta salad
The weather has been so wonky. It’s going to be too hot to turn on the oven without the air conditioner today.
Saturday – slow cooker meatloaf and potatoes
Meatloaf is one of those recipes that I don’t make often because it seems like a lot of work, but it really isn’t.
Sunday – chicken curry with orzo
My family loves the jar curry sauce from Aldi. I love that it’s basically “cook some diced chicken and add the sauce” to make supper.
