Monday: Calico Beans and Cornbread Supreme
- Time Saving Tip: Rather than taking the time to cook and crumble the bacon for the Calico Beans, buy a package of pre-cooked and crumbled bacon from the grocery store.
Tuesday: Korean Hamburgers, Oven Fries
- Time Saving Tip: Mix the burgers the weekend before and portion into patties. Stack the patties, separating layers with wax paper, and cover with plastic wrap, then foil. Add however many burgers your family will eat in one meal per freezer storage bag. Store in the freezer. This works great when making double batches . All you have to do is pull out one of your packages and stick it in the fridge in the morning.
Wednesday: Veggie Sandwiches, side of fruits of your choice
- Time Saving Tip: Cut and store all vegetable ingredients in the morning. At dinner time, arrange all ingredients on the counter and allow kids and adults to create their own veggie sandwich with the ingredients of their choice.
Thursday: Sweet and Savory Spinach Salad
- Time Saving Tip: In the morning, place the salad ingredients in a large bowl, starting with the toppings, then the spinach on top. Cover and store in the fridge. Add the dressing immediately before serving.
Friday: Chicken Waldorf Pizza, side salad of your choice
- Time Saving Tip: There are many pizza dough options out there. To save even more time, buy an already baked pizza crust from your grocery store.
Saturday: Broccoli, Ham and Cheese Egg Bake
- Time Saving Tip: In the morning, combine the ham, Parmesan cheese and cheddar cheese in a Ziploc bag. Set inside a large mixing bowl. Add eggs (not cracked!). Cover if needed. Pull out the bowl with your prepped ingredients when it is dinner time.
Sunday: Pastrami Mac and Cheese, side of store bought garlic bread
- Time Saving Tip: When you buy the pastrami at a meat counter at your local grocery store, ask them to cut it into one thick slice. This will make dicing quick and easy.
