Meal Plan for Week 41 (Group 2)

Free Meal Plan for week 41 (Group 2): Slow Cooker Ropa Vieja, Shrimp in Garlic Cream Sauce, Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole, 30 Minute Pasta e Fagioli, Barbecue Roasted Chicken.

Week 41 Summary

Notes for this week
  • I've added a dessert this week—it is listed on Day 1, but prepare it whenever you wish.
  • If you have cooked chicken in the freezer, use it in the Poppy Seed Casserole on Day 3.
  • Pasta e Fagioli (Day 4) is an easy 30-minute soup, so if you have any busy days this week you might want to rearrange the meals to have it for dinner when you need a quick and easy dish. It can be made in the crockpot, but add additional broth and do not add the pasta until the last 20 minutes of cooking.
  • If you have leftover chicken on Day 5, shred or chop it and freeze it for use on a barbecue chicken pizza.
