Meal Plan Monday: Recommit to a Frugal Meal Plan

Hope you had a great weekend! I got way off course with last week’s meal plan after my son’s surgery on Thursday (he’s doing great, thankfully). We ate out twice after I had several nights of no sleep–it happens–so I still have all the ingredients to make a couple of meals this week. That plus food from the freezer and using my slow cooker will help me stick to our frugal meal plan for this week. Back in the summer, I had a good routine going where I did a little freezer cooking once a week–just an hour or so to get 2-3 things packed away. I’d like to get back to that! I’m reading through 31 Days of Freezer Cooking at Good (Cheap) Eats for inspiration to return to that helpful habit.

Here’s my plan for the week:

Monday–Slow Cooker Tortilla Soup and cornbread
Tuesday–Hamburgers with swiss & mushrooms, homemade fries, salad
Wednesday–Turkey and Parmesan Pasta and salad
Thursday–Pork Loin Roast with citrus basil rub, baked potatoes, green beans
Friday–Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore and angel hair pasta
Saturday–Leftovers Soup and homemade breadsticks
