Monday: Calico Beans and Cornbread Supreme

• Time Saving Tip: Rather than taking the time to cook and crumble the bacon for the Calico Beans, buy a package of pre-cooked and crumbled bacon from the grocery store.

Tuesday: Korean Hamburgers, Oven Fries

• Time Saving Tip: Mix the burgers the weekend before and portion into patties. Stack the patties, separating layers with wax paper, and cover with plastic wrap, then foil. Add however many burgers your family will eat in one meal per freezer storage bag. Store in the freezer. This works great when making double batches . All you have to do is pull out one of your packages and stick it in the fridge in the morning.

Wednesday: Veggie Sandwiches, side of fruits of your choice

• Time Saving Tip: Cut and store all vegetable ingredients in the morning. At dinner time, arrange all ingredients on the counter and allow kids and adults to create their own veggie sandwich with the ingredients of their choice.

Thursday: Sweet and Savory Spinach Salad

• Time Saving Tip: In the morning, place the salad ingredients in a large bowl, starting with the toppings, then the spinach on top. Cover and store in the fridge. Add the dressing immediately before serving.

Friday: Chicken Waldorf Pizza, side salad of your choice

• Time Saving Tip: There are many pizza dough options out there. To save even more time, buy an already baked pizza crust from your grocery store.

Saturday: Broccoli, Ham and Cheese Egg Bake

• Time Saving Tip: In the morning, combine the ham, Parmesan cheese and cheddar cheese in a Ziploc bag. Set inside a large mixing bowl. Add eggs (not cracked!). Cover if needed. Pull out the bowl with your prepped ingredients when it is dinner time.

Sunday: Pastrami Mac and Cheese, side of store bought garlic bread

• Time Saving Tip: When you buy the pastrami at a meat counter at your local grocery store, ask them to cut it into one thick slice. This will make dicing quick and easy.

Monday – Lemon Chicken with Croutons

    * Leftovers Tip: Leftover lemon chicken would be delicious in a chicken salad (especially one with cranberries. YUM!)

Tuesday – Roast Cod with Crisp Potatoes

    * Ingredient Swap Tip: Any white fish should work great in this recipe. Only have tilapia on hand? Use it!

Wednesday – Slow Cooker Pot Roast

    * Leftovers Tip: If you have a good amount of pot roast left over, make a shepherd's pie! Shred or chop the roast into chunks. Add more veggies (mushrooms, carrots, etc.), add a layer of mashed potatoes, then top with cheddar cheese. Pop it into the oven to warm through and get browned on top.

Thursday – Ritzy Chicken Nuggets

    * Time Saving Tip: Take a few minutes on a weekend to make bread crumbs and stash them in the freezer. I use Ritz bread crumbs for Ritzy Chicken Nuggets and Amish Meatloaf, so it behooves me to keep them on hand. Empty a few sleeves of crackers in a large, sealed Ziploc and bash it with a rolling pin. After about 20 seconds, you've got yourself enough bread crumbs to last a good while.  

Friday – California Grilled Veggie Sandwich

    * Ingredient Swap Tip: Substitute diced fontina cubed for the feta cheese for the younger kiddos.

Saturday – Ultimate Spaghetti Carbonara

    * Leftovers Tip: If you have leftover carbonara to use up, try making a spaghetti pancake. In a bowl, mix an egg with some Parmesan and other cheeses of your choice. Add the spaghetti and mix. In a large saute pan, add a bit of oil and a dab of butter to a pan heated to medium. Add the spaghetti/egg mixture. Cook until browned on the bottom, and flip. Cook until browned on this side and serve.

Sunday – Tomato Sandwich with Basil Mayonnaise

    * Ingredient Tip: Adding a dash of salt and pepper directly to the tomatoes brings out their flavor.
