Weekly Meal Plan AND a NEW Weekly Chat

Cris here! We have decided that we are going to start sharing our weekly meal plans with you each week. (I can’t promise I will always be as creative with my chalk board 😉 but I did have a lot of fun with my chalk this time!)

We are also including the weekly meal plan each week in our new weekly chat on YouTube (click here to skip ahead to the meal plan segment at 21:35). Below is the full show where we answer reader questions too!

Note– If you don’t like to watch long form video, feel free to skip the show and scroll down for the full meal plan. We know that some folks don’t like video, so we make sure that we put all the important info in the post too 😉

But for you video fans–Do you have a question for the show? Send it to us here. We are featuring reader questions every week!

Now how about that meal plan?

Each week our meal plans will include a breakfast, a dessert and then full meals for Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. That is because we test recipes on the weekends so they aren’t ready to share yet…  and then we always have leftovers on Wednesday because otherwise it is way too much food for our family.  Feel free to pick and choose from what we are eating this week to build your own meal plans.

Or, pick and choose which recipe to see below.

Monday

Monday we will be having Crock Pot Zuppa Toscana Soup with salad and our Homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette (it is SOOO good!).

Tuesday

Tuesday I am doing my final test fun of our new Instant Pot (Electric Pressure Cooker) Spaghetti and Homemade Meatballs. Psst… Non-pressure cooker folks here is the yummy Crock Pot Spaghetti and Homemade Meatballs.

Wednesday

Wednesday is leftover day at our house. We totally need a day in the week to make sure we don’t waste food. If your family needs a new recipe for this day of the week, I highly recommend trying Aunt Lou’s Slow Cooker Cheddar Meatloaf and Crock Pot Creamy Mashed Potatoes.

Thursday

Thursday’s meal is one of our menu staples. We LOVE Crock Pot Tex Mex Tacos… especially when Mom makes her Homemade Guacamole as a special treat!

Friday

Friday we are grilling up chicken thighs with steak seasoning, but if you want to try a new recipe, we also LOVE this Grilled Lemon Chicken. We are also crockin’ up these Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes.

Weekends

We take the weekends off from regular cooking. We usually go out to lunch for family time and the rest of the weekend we test recipes to share with you in future posts ;).

Breakfast

Breakfast this week is a family favorite — especially when the weather turns cooler– Crock Pot Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal.

Dessert

Readers love this Crock Pot Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake and we do too!

What are your meal plans this week?

      Hi Kathy- I got it on Amazon ages ago… they don’t sell it anymore. If I ever come across something similar, I will definitely let you know.

    I loved the video. It was nice to be able to put voices and personalities with the yummy recipes. My only request is that if you are going to be showing off new purchased items, that you describe them as well. I am visually impaired, so I can’t see what you are showing on the screen. However, being blind, I find your recipes easy to use, and enjoyable to serve to my friends and family. Thanks so much for taking on this project. (warm hug)

      So glad you are enjoying the show. We will try to remember to describe things as much as we can. (hi Lilac!)
