Meal Plan 105
Start the week off with an easy, flavor-packed soup that will double for dinner and lunches throughout the week. The rest of the work week keeps it EASY with recipes that are done in 30 minutes or less. Round out the week for breakfast for dinner using leftover potatoes and bacon (or pancetta) from the week.

Tips for This Week's Meal Plan
- On Sunday: Use a few tortillas to make homemade tortillas strips and the save the rest of the package(s) to use for the chicken tacos and quesadillas for lunch.
- On Monday: Prep extra rice and set some aside for Tuesday's dinner.
- On Tuesday: Fold lime juice and cilantro into the leftover rice to add a bit of flavor to the rice. I also like to double up the chicken taco mixture and enjoy for lunches or freeze half to enjoy when I need a quick meal later in the month.
- Ingredient Notes/Money Saving Tips: Use russet potatoes for fries and frittata. Feel free to use all ground turkey or all ground beef, rather than a pound of each for egg roll in a bowl and sloppy joes. Swap the leek if desired for a yellow onion or leftover green onions, as you will use those in other recipes. Skip the pancetta in the pasta and peas and use bacon instead. Use leftover bacon for the potato frittata, or skip the bacon and pancetta altogether. The pasta and frittata will be delicious with or without. Select any fruits and veggies on sale and serve alongside dinner to keep things simple (and affordable). Instead of purchasing coleslaw mix, you can shred a head of cabbage yourself and use to top tacos too.
