Tips for Getting Ahead

Saturday: 

1. Print out all the recipes for the week. 

2. Click on the link provided and add all the groceries to your cart. 

3. Look through the meal plan and ingredients provided in the cart and the presumed ingredients. If you do not have a pantry item, make sure to add it to your cart.  

4. Add any other groceries to your online cart that you need for the week (cereal, deli meat, bread, milk, etc). 

5. Schedule a time to pick up your groceries or have them delivered. 

6. Read through the recipes and the “Tips for Getting Ahead” to prepare for the week. 

Sunday:

1. Pound the chicken breasts to uniform thickness between sheets of plastic wrap.  Follow the directions to brine them in salt according to the recipe.  *Note the recipe is for 2 chicken breasts and we are going to cook 8. 

Monday:

1. Cook all of the chicken tonight.  No air fryer? No problem. Bake chicken breasts in the oven at the same temperature in the directions. Store 4 chicken breasts in a container labeled “Tuesday” in the fridge.  Bonus points if you go ahead and cut them up for the salad!

Tuesday:

1. Assemble the Saucy Brown Sugar Baked Pork Chops recipe in a casserole dish and place in the fridge for Wednesday’s dinner. Allow to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before placing it in the oven on Wednesday.

Thursday:

1. Place the desired number of meatballs in a sauce pan and cover with sauce.  Cook over medium heat until the meatballs reach the internal temperature according to the package instructions.

2. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Bake the garlic bread according to package Instructions. Cook broccoli according to package directions.

Friday:

1. Cook the pancakes according to package instructions.  I use the whole box and make all the pancakes.  Place any leftovers in a storage bag and have pancakes Saturday morning, too.
