We're back with another great healthy meal plan. This meal plan features 14 dinners that range from quick and easy to slow cooker meals. This meal plan is perfect for a family who wants to eat healthy, but is short on time.
Meal planning is one of the ways I save money of my food bill. It allows me to plan out meals based on what's on sale and in season. Since it's March, corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes are all on sale. So I'm using them quite a bit in this meal plan. How do you meal plan?

OK, it took me 3 minutes to move past those honey pecan pork cutlets. Stellar. The rest of this though – i could do this.
Those pork cutlets are really good and really easy to make. I’m happy to hear you like my plan. I think it’s important to have a “doable” plan, otherwise, it’s hard to stick to it.
I am a bit confused: How is this supposed to be a meal plan for LENT, when it features meat in almost every recipe? Do you even know what Lent is?
We do Meatless Friday for Lent. I listed one Friday as salmon and another as Breakfast for Dinner with French Toast of leftovers. Also on the menu are meatless chili with sweet potatoes and black beans.
