Meal Planning Categories
This is just an example of how I like to meal plan. You could also incorporate a “leftover meal” or even “clean out the refrigerator” night. This is something we do at least once a week or every 10 days.
Assign each day of the week a different category and then plan a meal according to that category.
- Monday – Meatless, Vegetarian or even Leftovers from the weekend.
- Tuesday – Taco Tuesday or Mexican Recipe
- Wednesday – Chicken, Beef or Fish
- Thursday – Pasta or Italian Night
- Friday – Sandwiches and Soup
- Saturday – Pizza or Eat Out, Order In
- Sunday – Comfort Food Meal
- Monday – Leftover Chicken Burgers
- Tuesday – Creamy Chicken Enchiladas
- Wednesday – Skillet Chicken Pot Pie – made with biscuits and not a traditional pie crust.
- Thursday – Chicken Shells Casserole
- Friday – Chicken Soup – my easy recipe that uses leftover chicken.
- Saturday –Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Pizza Bites
- Sunday – Chicken Broccoli Casserole
Now, pick a side dish to serve with the recipes listed above. Side dishes should include potatoes or rice along with one or two veggies. A tossed salad with homemade ranch salad dressing is always nice too.
