Meal Plan January 29th – February 4th

Filed Under: Meal Plans January 27, 2024

Great news! We’re saying goodbye to January and stepping into the month of love. Personally, I can’t wait for a family ski trip and catching a hockey game with my husband – the perfect winter adventures! How about you? Any fun plans to embrace these chilly months?

This week, I’ve lined up some fantastic meals that I can’t wait to share. Let’s make this week a cozy and delicious one together!

I will continue to provide free weekly meal plans through 2024! Each plan follows the design of my “Stick to Your Budget Checklist” and includes 3 pantry friendly meal options (at least one of which is vegetarian), 3 budget conscious recipes, and assumes 1 leftovers day. There are also 2 breakfast options and a sweet treat to try!

black bean crunch wrap cut in half on a plate

Monday: You can use canned beans or do it the “Maria way” and  cook up a pound of dried black beans that you can use in these black bean crunch wraps and in the rice tomorrow night!

    Mexican Fried Rice in a pan on the stove

    Tuesday: Fried rice is a winner in all forms, this Mexican Fried Rice is a fabulous pantry friendly twist on the age old classic.

    Slow Cooker Ritz Chicken Recipe with a spoon

    Wednesday: I’m obsessing over this Slow Cooker Ritz Chicken! Everyone loves it and it isn’t getting old!

    slow cooker turkey tenderloin sliced on a plate with a fork.

    Thursday: The crockpot is working hard this week! This Crock Pot Turkey Tenderloin is so delicious and herby. Serve it with Air Fried Brussels Sprouts and Fluffy Mashed potatoes and you’ll be transported back to November!

    Detroit-style pizza in a pan

    Friday: I just re-visited this Detroit Style Pizza in my video The 23 best recipes of 2023 and I realized what an unsung hero it is. While it’s a bit more effort than my normal recipes, it’s worth it! I promise!

    hearty hamburger soup in a bowl on a red napkin

    Saturday or Sunday (one night is leftovers): It’s a weekend for Hearty Hamburger Soup and some Homemade Crusty Bread. But, if you don’t have time for bread, try grabbing some Pillsbury biscuits (they’re always a hit in my house!).

    And, if. You’re not into soup and you’re watching the NFL Championship Games on Sunday, I just published my Top 10 Game Day Recipes so be sure to check those out!

    crustless quiche with a slice taken out in a baking pan with a fork

    For Breakfast: It’s been a while since Crustless Quiche took the spotlight and that’s just not fair. This is a perfect make ahead dish you can re-heat all week!

    cinnamon roll and apple pie filling casserole with frosting over it in a pan

    On these cold weekends, I like to make an easy casserole to warm everyone up. This Apple Cinnamon Roll Casserole is perfect for just that.

    Fudgy Brownies coming from a pan

    For a Sweet Treat: These Fudgy Lunch Lady Brownies are new to the blog and they deserve some love. They take a little bit of time but I promise you they are worth it! It makes a big batch so they are great to share with friends!

    I hope you have the most magnificent week and eat well for less!
