Weekly Meal Plan
Week of April 10th -April 15th
How does the weekly meal plan work? Every Friday my family eats out, or eats left overs. Saturday or Sunday are my prep days. Monday-Thursday are weekday meals and leftovers. All of my weekly meal plans run from Saturday- Thursday. The grocery list is based on a family of 4, so you might need to adjust for your family size.

Pantry Items:
Everything but the bagel Seasoning, Sea Salt, Kosher Salt, Black Pepper, Chili flakes, Ancho Chile powder ,garlic powder, cumin, Italian Seasoning. - Its time to start building your dried spices up!
Bread Flour- This is a must have in my house! Small piece of advice, buy some nice air tight containers and start building your flour collection.
Sugar- be the neighbor that has sugar to give your neighbors when they are out.
Yeast- I buy SAF instant yeast and keep it in an air safe container in the refrigerator.
Honey- I try to always buy from local bee keepers, it’s a little more pricey, but so worth the extra money if you have it!
Baking Soda
Avocado Oil, Olive oil- Like flour, build up your oil selection.
Chicken Bone Broth- Whether you make it from scratch or you buy it in a box. You should always have it on hand in the pantry or the refrigerator.
White Vinegar and Balsamic - See above about flour, and oils.
Milk/heavy cream
Nuts- Whatever you like keep some on hand. They are great for snacks, baking, and throwing on a salad.
Dijon Mustard- Even if you don’t like mustard- Dijon is great for salad dressings, adding tang to your mac and cheese, and makes a great chicken salad.
Mayo- Read above about Dijon Mustard
Tomato Sauce- Keep three cans minimum of crushed, diced, sauce, paste, and whole tomatoes
Hot Sauce- Everyone has a favorite. Keep it on hand.
Things to Prep on the weekend:
1) Enchilada’s and sauce OR if you have it in the freezer from last recipe use the Ancho Chile Pork Ribs sauce.
Quick Enchilada Sauce Recipe adapted from SkinnyTaste: Mince 4 cloves of garlic and toast for about 30 seconds in a tablespoon of olive oil. Once fragrant add 1.5 cups of bone broth or chicken stock, 3 cups of tomato sauce, 1 chipotle in adobo, 1 tablespoon of adobo sauce, 2 tsp of ancho chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, salt and pepper to taste and simmer for 10 minutes. This would be a good recipe to double and freeze for a later use.
2) Sous Vide Egg Bites
3) Cook bacon - I line a baking sheet with foil and bake at 385 for around 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your bacon.
4) Wash and cut fruit and Veggies
