My goal is to provide dinner for my family (2 adults and one toddler eating) for an average of $5 except on special occasions. We don’t have to eat beans and rice to accomplish this goal! We typically only cook a main dish 4 or 5 times a week, so each main dish cooked will be for 4-6 servings, and there will be leftover servings for lunches, dinners on the weekend, or to freeze for another week. This cuts down on cleaning, cooking, and meal planning- saving us lots of time!
I apologize, but we are currently out of town and I just don’t have time this week to get my menu plan all typed up with cost breakdowns. I’ll resume that next week. In the meantime, here are the meals that I am planning.
Breaded Shrimp, Baked Potatoes, Broccoli, fresh peaches
Lasagna, salad, french toast
Garlic Seasoned Pork, Pineapple, Green Beans, Cheese Toast
Chicken Nuggets, Sweet Peas, Fresh Corn, Mashed Potatoes
