Weekly Meal Plan - May 2020 Week 3



*Follow me on Instagram (@recipes.for.moms) and Facebook (@RecipesforMoms) to see posts & stories about our family's meals and grocery shopping.

Homemade Pizza
- A weekly staple in our house during cooler weather! We make the dough in the bread maker and everyone gets to choose their own toppings. Then we let the kids sit on the living room floor and we have a family movie night.

Hamburgers
- These got skipped last week in place of a fast freezer meal on a night I didn't feel like cooking. Do you ever have those? I'm thankful for backup meals on nights like that. But we will be grilling these up this week. Plus more fresh fruit is coming into season which means great prices and a perfect side dish.

Beans & Cornbread
- This southern/Texas staple comes from my husband's grandmother and one of our meatless meals for the week. It's the perfect meal when you need something to be ready when you get home from a long or late day. The slow cooker works for this meal but a pressure cooker (aka Instapot) really shines in getting this meal done quickly.

- We're trying something new with this recipe this week. It seems like a combination of french toast and grilled cheese. Maybe a bit like a Monte Cristo? We'll see how they turn out. Although every time I've mentioned the name of this meal, my kids expect syrup with it so it might need a new name!

Meatball Subs
- These subs are an easy go-to on a busy night. Frozen Italian meatballs are the base then mix them with a jar of your favorite tomato-based pasta sauce. I usually spice it up a bit by adding some extra Italian seasonings. I'll try to post the full recipe for these soon but the best part is toasting the sub rolls with garlic butter before you add the meatballs and top them with cheese.

-This is another of our families favorite main dish salads because who can go wrong adding salami to anything?! I do love the fresh taste of this salad although I prefer black olives and I roast a fresh red pepper in the toaster oven. Homemade dressing are always good too and this salad has dressing recipe included.

- This is the second new recipe we'll be trying this week and also a recipe that I got from a friend. As the weather warms up, this seemed like another great fresh dish to try.


If you make any of these meals, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments or post them to Facebook or Instagram and tag me. I will try to share my meal pics too (mostly on IG, @recipes.for.moms) if I can remember to snap a photo before the food is devoured.
