January 2016 Weekly Meal Plan

My specialty is customized meal planning and preparation because I am passionate about healthy family dinners. I believe that with a little planning, cooking and eating from scratch is not only healthier but it’s also cheaper and EASY to do! Come join me in my meal planning adventures and cook up a yummy dinner for your family and friends tonight!

This week’s plan is full deliciousness, especially the the blueberry pork chops! My kids love, love, love the recipe! Simply print the grocery list, go shopping and start cooking!

I plan 4 nights worth of meals for my family and “wing” the rest depending on leftovers and kids activities.

This week I’m making:
Monday: Crockpot Chicken & Rice Soup with baguette
Tuesday: Roasted Chicken and Cauliflower ( optional: Salad)
Wednesday: Blueberry Pork Chops with couscous
Friday: Cuban Style Black Beans and Rice ( optinal salad)
