Menu Plan Monday, February 7th

It’s Monday and time to think about what you’ll be cooking this week. Having a meal plan can help you to eat at home more, eat out less and save money too.

I can’t believe we just crossed 2 years and 3 months without eating out. I couldn’t have done it without meal planning.

Need a few dinner ideas to add to your meal plan? Take a peek at what’s cooking at our house this week.

Do you love bean soup? The slow cooker white bean soup recipe on our meal plan this week is really good. We tried it last year and it is one we eat often now.

I try to make soups fairly often, in the winter. Soups are a great way to serve a hearty meal, without breaking the bank.

One of our favorite freezer meals is Italian chicken. It’s super simple to make for the freezer and just as easy to prepare.

This time around I’ll be baking it in the oven along with the roasted potatoes for dinner. But in the summer it can be grilled or cooked in the slow cooker. 

Whenever I’m making chicken for the freezer I always make at least 3 packages of Italian chicken since we love it so much. 

If you have bone in or boneless chicken thighs another great recipe is the garlic and herb chicken we are having this week. 

The sausage and vegetable sheet pan dish is a simple and easy dinner too. Cut  up the vegetables and place them on the sheet pan. Into the oven and in just a bit dinner is ready. 

Since it’s still rainy here, I’ll make our brown sugar steaks under the broiler but this dinner is also great grilled too.

Talking about grilling is making me long for the nice warmer days of spring to get here soon.
