Tips for this Week's Meal Plan

On Sunday, prepare a Mexican Barbacoa. If you don't have an Instant Pot, cook the beef in a slow cooker for 8-10 hours on low. Serve the beef over tortillas or rice as desired and then serve the remaining meat on Tuesday (and for lunches) in burrito bowls.
To make the Zuppa Toscana soup on the stove, sauté the bacon, sausage, and onions as directed in a large heavy-bottomed soup pan. Add the wine, broth, potatoes, kale, and seasonings and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender-be sure to stir every lit. Add cream and simmer for another 5-10 minutes with the lid off until thickened.
Use red potatoes for potato corn chowder, roasted red potatoes, and Zuppa Toscano soup.
You will only need a small bit of bacon for the Zuppa Toscano soup. I suggest using the rest for Egg Bites and turkey club wraps for lunch. You can also omit the bacon if you desire or freeze the remaining bacon for later use.
You will also only need ½ pound of Italian sausage for the soup as well. Freeze the other half to use another night.
Purchase a large bag of chopped kale and use it for Curry, Kale Pasta, Zuppa Toscana, Kale Smoothie, and Kale Salad.
