I will also provide you with your weekly grocery list, but, please keep in mind that on the grocery list I am not including the staples that I'm thinking you would generally have in your home already (sugar, oil, salt, pepper, vinegar, spices, butter, etc.); please review the recipes before you go to the store so that you do not miss anything!
Here are the month's meals. I have provided links to the recipes for each meal. When there is no link (you will there's not suppose to be a link because the meal is not underlined in those cases), I am assuming that this is a general, everyone knows how to make it type meal.
The meal idea I am giving is for, in the most part, the main part of the meal, feel free to add your favorite side dishes. When I include items like "garden salad" do what works best for you (add a bag of salad to your grocery list, make a salad from scratch, or replace it with your favorite rice, veggie, etc.). Also note that some meals require some preparation the day before you plan on making it (for example, slow cooker recipes or marinating).
Week One Meals:
1. Meat loaf with garden salad
2.Garlic Parmesan Pork chops with noodles
4.Crockpot Chicken tacos (**slow cooker recipe - requires morning time prep!)
5.Make your own Pizzas (this is basically using all your left over veggies and cheese from the above recipes and making a pizza out of them!)
Week Two Meals:
1.Chicken roll-ups with steamed veggies
2.Crock pot stew (**slow cooker recipe - requires morning time prep!)
3.Beef Burritos
5. Spinach, grilled chicken, feta, and craisin salad (just toss these items together and finish off with some raspberry vinegrette!)
Week Three Meals:
1.Slow cooker ribs with wild rice and steamed veggies(**slow cooker recipe - requires morning time prep!)
The link provided for the ribs is only for the sauce used in this recipe, so use this sauce recipe on your ribs and put into slow cooker on low for 8 hours)
2.Roasted sausage, potatoes and peppers
4.Grilled chicken burgers and fries
5.Grilled chicken greek salad with couscous (I will blog the recipe for this in the coming days and refresh this post with the link to the recipe!)
Week Four Meals:
2.Pork kabobs with BBQ grilled veggies (low fat!(**requires morning time prep for marinating!)
3.Slow cooker jambalaya (**slow cooker recipe - requires morning time prep!)
4.Subs with raw veggies and dip
5.Potroast with garden salad and buns
