Are you ready for another scrumptious week ahead? In case you missed it, I just shared 14 mouthwatering recipes tailored perfectly for spring – an absolute must-try! And speaking of spring, you’ll find a delightful sprinkle of those recipes in this week’s April meal plan. As the season calls for it, we’re diving into lighter, fresher fare, kicking off with a crisp salad and wrapping up the week with a beloved family classic: Mom’s famous marinated London broil served with her irresistible dill potatoes. Plus, there’s an exciting addition to our breakfast lineup – a brand new zucchini recipe (also my mom’s! – clearly she’s a good cook!) you won’t want to snooze on! Let’s make this week deliciously memorable!
Monday: I’m sticking with this little Monday tradition of a salad. Cobb salad is a family favorite especially when I lay it out in rows so everyone can take a little bit of what they like and avoid anything they don’t.
Tuesday: I initially tried this recipe as meal prep but it’s so good it deserves a spot on your dinner rotation too! My husband keeps asking if we have any more of that Peanut Chicken? So, you might want to make the double batch recipe just to have some leftovers!
Wednesday: This is the salad Jennifer Aniston supposedly ate everyday on the set of Friends. It’s pretty good, so I kind of believe it! Serve this up with some grilled chicken and call it a meal!
Thursday: This steak fajita recipe has a marinade made with the classic kitchen helper, Lipton Onion Soup mix! I just love it! This is also perfect with chicken or shrimp, so utilized the protein you have on hand to save on these!
Friday: These Crispy Black Bean Tacos are such a treat and require only a few pantry friendly ingredients! This is a great roll over for your leftover fajita tortillas! You can find the recipe in my FREE e-book “10 Crazy Cheap Meals” and you’ll find some other delicious recipes too!
Saturday or Sunday (one night is leftovers): This London broil recipe paired with dill potatoes is a family favorite I’ve been eating my entire life! We always grab London broil because it’s a really inexpensive cut of meat that tastes delicious marinated.
For Breakfast:
Another recipe my mom gave me is this delicious Zucchini Bread! Read the blog to hear the whole story about how she used to make it for me and now I make it for my kids!
Cook up a batch or two of these 2 ingredient bagel bites to make things easy on yourself for the next week or two. These are not just for breakfast, but make a great snack as well!
For a Sweet Treat: Strawberries are on sale! This means it’s the perfect time to make this delicious strawberry shortcake in a 9×13 pan!
I hope you have the most magnificent week and eat well for less!
