I asked you all on Instagram and Facebook if you would want to see my menu plans with printable grocery lists, and the response was overwhelmingly–YES! So here ya go. I’m still not sure how to find a good shopping list add-on for WordPress, so the list might looks a little strange, since it says “Recipe Notes” at the top. If any of you know of a good add-on for this, I’m all ears!
FYI–I try to budget for about $80-$100 in groceries each week. I buy in bulk when things are on sale, so some of these items I already have on hand (for instance, the shrimp and chicken are in my freezer already). I added every single item that is in each recipe to the grocery list so you could cross out whatever is already in your house and not miss anything. Hope this helps!
This is my first time doing something like this, so all feedback, constructive and/or just positive, is totally welcome.
Sunday: Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Chicken (0 SP) on Potato Buns (5 SP) with Laa Loosh’s Creamy Coleslaw (2 SP).
- I’m trying this out for the first time. I’m going to make my Naturally Sweetened BBQ Sauce and put half of it in my slow cooker with 3 large chicken breasts, an onion, and 4 cloves of garlic. I’m thinking it should only take about 4 1/2 hours on low. I’ll save the other half of the sauce to put on top of the leftover chicken throughout the week, which I’ll use for lunches.
Monday: Cod with Pineapple Salsa (0 SP)
- I’m going to have a pretty heavy lunch, so I’m planning a quick and easy 0 SP dinner,a nd I’ll use all pineapple instead of watermelon.
Tuesday: Crunchy Beef Tacos (2 SP each) with roasted broccoli (1 SP)
- For the broccoli, I toss a a small bag of broccoli flourets with 1 tsp olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Roast at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
Wednesday: Boneless Buffalo Wings (3 SP) with TJ’s Handsome Cut Fries (4 SP) and sauteed zucchini (0 S)
Thursday: Creamy Cajun Pasta (6 SP) with a side salad (points depend on what bagged salad you buy), but I’ll use shrimp only. Don’t forget to order that Carb Nada Fettuccini!
- For the zucchini, I just slice them and season with salt and pepper, then saute with cooking spray. So easy and one of my favorite vegetables. Plan for one zucchini per person.
Friday: Leftovers buffet
Saturday: My SizzlinStyle party, sponsored by Weight Watchers (and a few other companies who were kind enough to donate some products to my guests)!
