Other WRAL Top Stories

This is an extremely busy week for us. I am hosting a very large family event that runs Friday through Sunday so I have no time for time-consuming meals this week. With that said, I’ll still be preparing a frugal dinner each night and skipping the drive-through.

What’s on your meal plan?

Monday

Italian pasta bake with whole wheat penne pasta, pasta sauce, chicken breast cubed, cheese, black olives, green pepper, onions, mushrooms, garlic, pepper and Italian herbs including some fresh basil my daughter is growing.(I doubled up on the pasta I cooked last night so I only had one set of dishes to do last night but still have plenty of pasta for tonight's meal)

Steamed carrots

Rolls

Tuesday

Breakfast for dinner!

Egg and cheese tortilla roll-ups with salsa (eggs were .99/dozen at Walgreens through last Saturday)

Morningstar veggie bacon

Cantaloupe ($1.29 at Aldi and I am price matching at Walmart)

Wednesday

Homemade veggie pizzas using Harris Teeter pizza dough (my oldest daughter rolls out the dough and then puts on the toppings after the dough has pre-cooked for about 8 minutes)

Salad

Thursday

Veggie burgers

Sweet potato fries

Tomato and cucumber salad

Friday – Sunday: Fun times with family and friends!
