As we transition to a more chilly fall, we often have a few warmer days. So I try to keep a few easy to make oven-free meals on the meal plan for those warmer days.

This week we’ll be having a few sandwich dinners that my family loves. One night we’ll be enjoying BLT’s for dinner. I found bacon on sale for $3.99 per pound recently.

I can’t believe I’m saying that’s a sale price but lately that is a good price in our area. Is it the same where you live?

I’ll be grilling hamburgers this week too. My kids love burgers and since I have ready made patties in the freezer waiting to be eaten it makes for a quick and easy meal too.

Breakfast for dinner is on the meal plan again since it’s quick and easy to make and frugal too.

We’ll have two chicken dinners, yakisoba chicken, and grilled chicken. I want to fit in a few more grilled dinners before the weather turns chilly.

And finally, we’ll be enjoying homemade waffle iron pizza pockets. These might turn into pizza if it’s a cool day when I make them. Running the oven can help heat up the house. Which is a little chilly on the cooler fall days.

  1. Wow, I can’t believe bacon is so expensive in your area! I can usually get it on sale here for around $3.50 per pound. But our produce prices are a lot higher than yours, so I guess it all evens out in the end 🙂

    Hope you have a great week!
