Weekly Meal Plan #62
There’s a certain relief in knowing dinner is already handled before the week even starts. Think recipes built to scale up, store well, and carry you through even the busiest days.
Stocking up for the week ahead starts with knowing what you already have. Take a look, then grab the list below.
Monday — Slow Cooker Hatch Chili Salsa Chicken
I’ve tested this both ways, and while I love chicken breast for how easily it shreds, thighs bring more flavor to the pot. Either way, it eats like something you actually planned.
Tuesday — Oven Roasted Lamb Chops with Rosemary and Garlic
A hot oven and a handful of ingredients are all this one asks of you. I’d serve this to company without blinking.
Wednesday — Creamy Vegetable Chowder
It tastes like it simmered all afternoon, but it’s done in well under an hour. I love serving it in a bread bowl when I want to make it feel like a bit more of an event.
Thursday — Frikadellen – German Meat Patties
A mix of beef and pork gets bulked up with soaked bread and grated onion, then fried until the crust turns deep golden. These are just as good cold in a sandwich the next day as they are hot off the skillet.
Friday — Slow Cooker Mississippi Chicken
This one is comfort food straight up my alley, easy, few ingredients, ready when I am. I always double it so half goes in the freezer.
Saturday — Authentic Hungarian Goulash
There’s not a lot going on ingredient-wise, but the combination is pure magic once it’s had hours to come together.
Sunday — Best Ever Giant Meatballs
Over spaghetti, in a sub, or straight off the plate, these disappear every single time I make them. They hold up beautifully in the fridge, too, which makes the week ahead a little easier.
Salads and Sides
Desserts
A full week of meal-prep-friendly dinners that reheat beautifully, plus a ready-made shopping list.
