My Meal Plan for the Week of January 13!

Meal planning is the one of the keys to sticking to a budget and the best way to avoid unplanned take out expenses. Here is my meal plan for the week of January 13.

On Sunday I made the following:

Pulled Pork (I finally used my new slow cooker I got for Christmas!)
Mashed Potatoes
Seasoned Rice for Make Ahead Burritos
Honey Mustard Baked Chicken
Taco Sauce for Burritos
Blueberry Muffins (Doubled, Mini muffins in the freezer)
Banana Bread (Doubled, 1 loaf in the freezer)

These meals should take me through Wednesday night without much cooking.

★ 1. Scrambled Eggs and Homemade Bread (I am hoping to make this before Friday) I made the eggs with english muffins that I purchased at Aldi today. With another day having a sick kid in the house, I chose to buy something instead of baking.
2. Salad with Chicken (shown below - this is the 1st time we are trying this product!)

Thankfully, these were not part of the recall
