WEEKLY MENU PLAN SEPTEMBER 9-15

Filed Under: COOK, Menu Plans

Well, how did last week go for you? It wasn’t too bad a start to the school year here. We’re starting to get back into the old routines and setting up some new ones. I have to say, as much as I like the “whatever will be, will be” attitude of summer, I’m enjoying this.

HOWEVER, I am exhausted. I don’t know if it’s something going on with my health or if it’s a release from the stress of the past month (we had a death in the family and had to go out of country for the funeral) or maybe it’s just trying to get used to the new normal. I’m sure a couple more weeks and I’ll settle in!

How are things going for you and your family?

YOUR GUIDE TO THE MEALS IN MY MEAL PLANS:

FF = FREEZER FRIENDLY

SC = SLOW COOKER

MF = MEAT FREE

PLO = PLANNED LEFTOVERS

MA – MAKE AHEAD

BBQ – GRILLED FOOD

I’m normally also planning extra simple meals on Saturdays and Sundays so that we truly can take a Sabbath and spend some time focusing on family and fun! 

WEEKLY MEAL PLAN

You will find that most of these meals are under $10 based on prices (sale prices where possible) in London, Ontario, Canada. We are feeding a family of 4 – 3 adults and 1 toddler, all with healthy appetites. We generally have some leftovers from our meals and if these aren’t being used as part of another meal, they are used for lunches throughout the week.

Prices are based mostly on those at No Frills and FreshCo, the two grocery stores we frequent most often with an occasional shop at Loblaws for some of the more gourmet items (and because it’s just my favorite store – it even has a Starbucks!). I’m always sure to search the FLIPP app for the best deals!

Don’t forget to look at some of the less obvious options too. I’ve been seeing some great deals at Shoppers Drug Mart and Giant Tiger lately but they aren’t places to pop to mind immediately. I make a point to quickly glance through their flyers.

Monday

Zesty One Pan Pork Chops and Rice, steamed broccoli and carrots.

Tuesday 

Taco salad in tortilla bowls, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers

Wednesday

Lemon Poppyseed Chicken with Rice, (using some of the leftover chicken from last week that I froze), spinach, turnips

Thursday 

Slow cooker Italian pot roast, potatoes, carrots

Friday

Instant Pot Mongolian Beef, rice, green beans

Saturday

Grilled lamb chops, grilled potatoes, honey maple bourbon glazed carrots (can be made alcohol free and still delicious!)

Sunday 

It’s my grandson’s birthday so we’re grilling Lemonade Chicken and sausages. We’re keeping things simple and serving them along with some raw veggies and dip, a fruit tray, and chips.

Breakfasts and Lunches

Leftovers

Canned soups. Frozen soups and chili.

Eggs

Pancakes or waffles (we always have mix on hand)

Oatmeal

Cold cereal

Yogurt and bran cereal parfaits>>> This Instant Pot Greek Style Yogurt is a favorite!

Toast with jam and goat cheese or peanut butter

Sandwiches – lunch meat or chicken or cheese or cucumber and onions, selection depending on what’s on hand and on sale that week. This week we are having some egg salad wraps since both eggs and tortillas were on sale.

Salads – chef’s salad with hard boiled eggs, ham, and cheese added, Waldorf salad, Cobb salad
