Tips for this Week's Meal Plan

On Sunday, save half the meatballs for meatballs subs later in the week. Serve the meatballs Sunday with spaghetti and your favorite sauce.
For the salad, make a double batch, but wait to add croutons on the side so they stay crisp and toasty until served.
On Tuesday, make salsa with fresh or canned tomatoes and use some to make the tacos. Serve the tacos with ½ head of cabbage dressed with lime juice and salt.
Use the other half of the cabbage to make coleslaw for the chicken burgers.
I like to use fresh mozzarella for eggplant parm and sliced provolone for the meatball subs. But when making both in one week, feel free to use sliced provolone or sliced mozzarella for both (I don't recommend fresh mozzarella for the subs, but sliced or shredded works just fine!)
Use fresh or frozen corn to make corn and tomato salad and succotash. Or skip the succotash and make extra fries.
Use bacon to make BLTs and succotash.
Instead of purchasing ground chicken breast, you can save money by using your food processor to turn chicken breast into ground chicken (I have included instructions on the recipe card.)
For salsa, feel free to use a yellow onion in place of a Vidalia onion, as yellow onions are used in other recipes.
Use leftover cream cheese from the pasta dinner to make Cinnamon rolls for breakfast. With overnight prep, they are super easy to make. Make it even easier by starting the recipe with a loaf of frozen bread dough.
This week uses a lot of tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes, roma, and vine-ripened. Feel free to use all vine-ripened, simply remove seeds and dice to add to salads.
