Meal Plan Week One

This is it you guys! We’re here to help you simplify supper time around your house! I’m starting off with a simple plan of JUST suppers for the week. I’m not sure I’m ready to plan all your meals, and I’m pretty sure you’re not ready to have me plan all your meals! This is straight up an idea of what you can do this week with a grocery list to take away the stress. If a recipe is needed I will share mine. If you have your own favourites please use them! If you don’t love one of my meals on here, change it! And just so there’s no confusion, my week starts on Monday because that’s the way I like it (and I do my shopping and prep on Sundays).

I am not a writer, and I don’t want to annoy you by writing my entire life story with pictures and then FINALLY post the recipe at the end. So I won’t. Here’s the first plan, recipes, and grocery list. The end.

Just kidding! ONE MORE THING: Using meals from Supper Studio is actually the best! The whole reason we started our business was because of how helpful and time-saving they are. Not to mention how much less food we wasted. I could go on and on, but my point is - we love our own meals, so we use them. And you should too. Okay, now I’m done.

MONDAY: Crockpot Chicken & Gnocchi Stew. Recipe can be found here: https://pinchofyum.com/crockpot-chicken-gnocchi-soup

TUESDAY: Farmer’s Sausage & Perogies with raw veggies & ranch (I used broccoli, cauli, and snap peas)

WEDNESDAY: Vegetarian Coconut Curry Noodle Bowl (from Supper Studio) with naan bread.

THURSDAY: Roasted Chicken with Roasted Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Sweet Potato (Toss veggies with olive Oil and salt and pepper, bake at 375 degrees, sprinkle chicken breasts with seasoning and bake in same oven).

FRIDAY: Leftovers (or as we call it: fridge).

SATURDAY: Lemon Dill Salmon (from Supper Studio)

SUNDAY: Homemade Pizza on Naan (topped with deli meat, cheese, any roasted veggies) **make extra pizza and use it for lunches on Monday!

GROCERIES:

  • 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 package bacon

  • Farmer’s Sausage

  • deli pizza meat

  • 1 package shredded pizza mozzarella

  • small container sour cream

  • 1 onion

  • 1 bunch celery

  • 5 lb bag carrots

  • baby spinach

  • 2 heads broccoli

  • 1 head cauliflower

  • bag snap peas

  • 1 sweet potato

  • 1 L chicken broth

  • 2 x 12 oz evaporated milk

  • 2 packages gnocchi (found by the dry pasta)

  • ranch salad dressing

  • can pizza sauce

  • naan bread (10)

  • bag of frozen perogies

These are items I’m hoping you have in your pantry…. but if you don’t, no sweat! Just please add them to your grocery list because you will need them in the coming weeks.

  • dried basil

  • italian seasoning

  • poultry seasoning

  • salt & pepper

  • olive oil

  • cornstarch

  • garlic (dried or minced)

Because I didn’t plan ALL your meals, you will have to add to your list the things you need for breakfasts & lunches at your house. If, by Sunday, you have a lot of veggies leftover, don’t stress, we can use them next week. If you have naan leftover, freeze it!

This is the beautiful sausage I buy to make with perogies. My Mennonite MIL steams it in a little bit of water, but my non-mennonite mother bathes it in BBQ sauce and bakes it. Both equally delicious.

We hope this helps your crazy busy week just a little bit! Please message us with any questions or comments!
