Meal Plan for Week 6 (Group 1)

Week 6 Summary
Notes for this week
Save the leftovers from Day 1’s Sloppy Joes to use as the base for Sloppy Joe Pizza on Day 4. If you need to, double the recipe. The Sesame Chicken recipe makes 4 pounds of chicken, which should be plenty to have chicken for Day 2 and have leftovers for Asian Chicken Salad on Day 5. If you have extra chicken after preparing the salads, chop and freeze it to make prep easier later when a recipe calls for cooked chicken.

Day 1

Sloppy Joes // French Fries // Green Beans

3 sloppy joe sandwiches on hambuger buns

Easy Homemade Sloppy Joes

Although it is easy to buy Sloppy Joe sauce in a can, this homemade version is tastier and easy to make.

Day 2

Sesame Chicken // Yellow Rice // Broccoli

Grilled boneless skinless chicken breasts with a sesame marinade brushed on them and served on a Armetale platter

Day 3

Vegetable Alfredo Tortellini // Garlic Bread

Vegetable Tortellini Alfredo

Cheese tortellini in a creamy Alfredo sauce is a quick and easy dinner when you use quick start ingredients. Easily adapted to your preferences, you can use fresh or frozen tortellini along with your choice of frozen vegetables. If you are short on time, a jar of prepared Alfredo sauce is a quick substitute, or use our homemade Alfredo sauce with just butter, cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and a little nutmeg. If fresh vegetables are in season, this is a good way to use them – just steam and add to the pasta instead of frozen vegetables.

Day 4

Sloppy Joe Pizza // Salad

Day 5

Asian Chicken Salad // Dinner Rolls

Salad of romaine lettuce pieces, grape tomatoes, and carrots topped with sliced grilled chicken

Asian Chicken Salad

Asian Chicken Salad is a perfect recipe for planned leftovers which reduce prep time and cut waste. The homemade dressing is full of rich flavors, but a prepared Asian dressing could be used to save even more time.
