Tips for This Week’s Meal Plan
- Sunday: Make a large batch of BBQ chicken. Serve as sandwiches with coleslaw and grilled corn, then reserve leftovers for pizza and easy lunches. Extra chicken can be served over baked potatoes for a quick meal.
- Monday: Make extra baked potatoes to use for stuffed potatoes with BBQ chicken at lunch or as an alternate dinner. Save leftover London broil to add to fajitas if you like.
- Tuesday: Use extra corn on the cob to make roasted corn salsa for fajitas or as a chip dip.
- Wednesday: Turn leftover chicken into homemade pizza — use French bread or pita for an easy shortcut.
- Thursday: Serve sausage and peppers as-is or in buns. Leftovers can be folded into pasta for Saturday’s bake. Make extra fries to accompany Friday’s wraps.
- Friday: Build veggie wraps using leftover dill dip or add BBQ chicken for a heartier option.
- Saturday: If you have leftover sausage and peppers, stir them into the rigatoni before adding cheese and baking for a quick one-dish meal.
- Ingredient Notes: Use russet potatoes for baked potatoes and fries. Plan for corn as both a side and a salsa base. Stock peppers and onions for fajitas and the sausage dinner. Substitute yellow onion if you don’t have red for the corn salsa. Keep coleslaw on hand to use as a side or lunch topping through the week.
