Easy Meal Plan – Week of 5/31

I’ll just go ahead and fess up that this isn’t going to be cheap week at Publix. With the warm weather settling in, I’m in the mood for sea food almost everyday. Fish and shrimp prices just can’t compete with $0.99/ lb chicken. Thankfully, we can splurge every now and then. If you’re not a seafood family, take the fish out and try Eggs Benedict. Eggs are still $0.99/doz and English muffins are BOGO.

Check out this menu and tons of other great meal plans and recipes on The Organizing Junkie’s Menu Plan Monday.

Remember to go here to print the menu lists. Create your list by clicking each item and then print.

Breakfast

We will be eating yogurt and cereal from our stockpile and adding some fresh fruit that is on sale this week at Publix.

Printable Lunch Menu

We stocked up on sliced cheese, hot dogs and buns last week. I’ll pick up some sandwich meat, eggs, fruit and chips to finish out lunches.

  • Hot dogs
  • Ham and Turkey Sandwiches (Oscar Mayer)
  • Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
  • Egg Salad Sandwiches (Eggs)

Printable Dinner Menu

I usually note the sale items, but since most all of the items are on sale this week I’ll skip that step. Roast an extra chicken without the greek herbs so that you’ll have some chicken for the tacos later in the week. Just leave a comment if you would like a recipe.

  • Lemon Herb Tilapia, White Rice Salad with Peas 
  • London Broil, Roasted Red Potatoes, Steamed Broccoli
  • Greek Style Chicken, Wild Rice, Greek Salad with Feta
  • Shrimp and Grits, Fruit Salad
  • Chicken Soft Tacos
