Menu Plan: October 12-18th


This is my planned menu for the week, beginning with Sunday dinner.  A few meals will cost a bit more, some will cost a bit less.  Overall  I plan to spend around $150 for all our needs for breakfast, lunch and dinner!  That's for my family of 9, including 5 teenagers.  

Rotisserie Roasted Chicken from Taste, Love, & Nourish.

I will be cooking two of these amazing roasted chickens.  I am hoping to have some leftovers to make chicken potpie later in the week. You can get all of the ingredients and instructions over on the site Taste, Love, & Nourish. 

On Mondays I almost always use a crockpot meal since I'm usually doing lots of cleaning and straightening after the weekend.  It's also a heavy homeschooling day to set the tone for the week!

Crockpot Ranch Pork chops:

Keyingredient.com

 One package of pork chops, 1 can of Cream of Chicken soup, 1 packet dry Ranch dressing mix. In crockpot layer pork chops, add the cream of chicken soup, then sprinkle dry Ranch dressing all over. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours OR Low for 6 hours.

This one makes a gravy by itself that I'll serve over rice.

 Juicy Turkey Burgers:

Blackbirdideas Turkey burger recipe

I'll be making turkey burgers this week since Butterball ground turkey is BOGO at Winn-Dixie.  For my family to eat burgers made from turkey they have to be juicy not dry and full of flavor.  This recipes gets it right for us.  I made these back in July and all but 2 kids liked them.  That's pretty big for this family of sometimes picky eaters.  

Ingredients for four burgers:
1 pound ground turkey meat
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Worchestershire
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 small onion or 2 shallots, finely chopped
Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and combine with hands. Then, divide into 4 equal sized patties.  Grill on the George Foreman or in a pan.  Serve with your favorite toppings.

We will be eating Roasted red potatoes with these burgers.  I just wash them, quarter them and toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.

Dinners for the remaining nights will be: 
Spaghetti with meat sauce served with garlic bread and bagged salad
Bird's Eye Voila (Garlic Chicken)
Breakfast for dinner with Aunt Jemima French Toast, Bacon, and baked apples
Homemade Chicken Pot Pie
