2 Week Dinner Plan:

Wednesday – Chicken Baked Chops, Brown Rice, Carrots
Thursday – Sweet & Sour Beef over Noodles
Friday – Taco Nachos
Saturday – Pot Roast & Veggies
Sunday – Peachy Chicken, Brown Rice, Green Beans

Wednesday – Teriyaki Turkey Burritos

Friday – Homemade Pizza
Saturday – BBQ Cheeseburgers, Chips & Corn
Sunday – BBQ Turkey Dogs, Pork & Beans

** Chicken, Hamburger, Pork Loin Chips & Beef Roasts were all on great sales last week at Safeway so that’s what I planned most the meals around…that and using what I already had on hand in the freezer or in my pantry. Splitting’ the big family packs into multiple, different meals keeps my grocery costs down. Examples: 1 family pack of hamburger was divided it into 3 meals (spaghetti, chili, burgers) 1 family pack of chicken breasts was divided into 2 meals (I cut 1/2 into tenders and kept 1/2 whole for peachy chicken) 1 family pack of pork loin chops was divided into 2 meals (1/2 kept as chops, 1/2 tenderize in crock pot to shred for hoagies) 1 roast divided into 2 meals (sweet & sour, leftovers for pizza topping)** 

I already had leftover taco meat, a pot roast & ground turkey in my freezer for the other meals not mentioned in examples above. Keep in mind, this is what feeds our family of 5...it may or may not work for your family size!
