Meal Plan for Week 18 (Group 1)

Meal Plan for Week 18 (Group 1) - Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo, Barbecue Roasted Chicken, Easy Beef Empanadas, Barbecue Chicken Pizza, Carne Asada Tortas

Week 18 Summary

Notes for this week

  • You can use a jar of prepared Alfredo sauce for the Broccoli & Fettuccine Alfredo on Day 1 or our homemade Alfredo sauce.

  • The ingredients for the Homemade Alfredo Sauce are included in the grocery list, so you can either remove that recipe from the collection for your list if you plan to buy a jar, or you can check off the line item for “homemade Alfredo sauce” that is automatically added from the ingredient list.

  • Leftover Barbecue Roasted Chicken (Day 2) is the topping for Barbecue Chicken Pizza (Day 4). If you have big eaters or want to freeze some shredded chicken, double up on the roast chicken so you have enough.

  • Easy Beef Empanadas on Day 3 are a freezer recipe, so you can double up on stocking the freezer by cooking extra ground beef for the freezer and freezing half of the empanadas (or make extra to freeze even more). If you want to use the bulk pie crust recipe (included below) for the empanadas, you might plan ahead and prepare that earlier in the week.

  • The steak for the Carne Asada Tortas on Day 5 needs to marinate and the Tex-Mex Cole Slaw needs to chill, so plan to start on these recipes the night before.

Prepared sauces can be a lifesaver, but preparing fresh homemade Alfredo sauce is worth the little bit of extra effort. Add a quick salad to Broccoli & Fettuccine Alfredo, and the complete meal can be on the table in about the time it takes to cook and drain the fettuccine.

Day 2

  • Barbecue Roasted Chicken
  • Corn Muffins
  • Peas and Carrots

Carne Asada Tortas
Carne asada is a delicious sliced grilled beef made with spices to marinate the meat before grilling. A torta is a Mexican sandwich usually served on a bolillo roll, a savory white roll that is crusty on the outside (we used a softer sandwich bun when we made our tortas).
