Planning a week’s worth of dinner can be intimidating. No worries, I have taken care of all the dirty work. Right down to the shopping list. Let's get started.
1. Fettucini alfredo with blackened beef tips and broccoli, Caesar salad (To speed everything up and for those just transitioning to cooking more at home simplify this meal by using jarred sauce and bagged salad.)
2.Black bean burritos with your choice accompaniments (When topped with items such as shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, rice, guacamole, tomatoes etc) all of the food groups are covered. Feel free to use either canned or dry black beans. This recipe is great for a crockpot or slow cooker.
3. Garlic and soy chicken thighs, baked potatoes, steamed broccoli – after steaming toss in a pan on medium heat with a TBSP of olive oil and two – three teaspoons of soy sauce
4. Ground beef and cabbage skillet, green beans This meal also works great in a crockpot
5. Oven fried fish and chips, peas with almonds
6. Peppers and onions, sauteed cabbage
7. C.O.R.N. – Clean Out Refrigerator Night hurray!
Not included in the grocery list are standard pantry items: flour, yeast, sugar, and cooking oil (usually olive, sometimes vegetable). Determine the amount of each item based on the size of your family. All of the linked recipes come from my site Home Ec 101 and easily serve a family of 4 – 6 with leftovers eaten at lunch and one night of the week.
Spices will be listed, as what is considered common can vary by region and ethnicity. Simply cross off those you already have.
