Weekly Meal Plan: Cooking with Fresh Produce (Week 222)
The kitchen is heating up and I am trying to avoid the oven. Are you to this point yet? Cooking in the slow cooker is an awesome option!
Here is our meal plan for this week. I’m incorporating lots of fresh produce because my fridge is super full from our produce delivery.
Let me show you how I am creating my meal plan around fresh produce! (Check out all 200+ of my easy recipes while you’re here!)
Weekly Meal Planning Ideas
Slow Cooker Sunday Dinner– I have fresh potatoes and rainbow carrots I am going to use in this. This is a family favorite- I’ve been making it for years.
Tacos– You can either make the filling in the crockpot or even batch cook taco meat on the stove top. I love both. I have fresh tomatoes and lettuce I need to use up.
Pinenut Meatball Veggies– this is perfect! I have some zucchini to use up and some spinach coming in this week. I read where Tiffany shared this last week and my mouth has been watering ever since. I will serve over spaghetti sauce with some noodles and a side of fresh fruit. We have peaches, pears, plums and pineapple!
Crockpot Stuffed Cabbage Rolls– you read that right! I actually have a casserole style slow cooker that I am going to do this in. I cannot wait! I have another head of cabbage in the crisper drawer that needs to be used up. I will serve with this a salad and fruit.
Slow Cooker Chicken Potatoes and Green Beans– different from the first recipe. This one looks a bit lighter (the first one is more of a comfort food recipe). I have a bag of fresh green beans I need to use up. Can’t wait! Served with fruit.
Leftover Buffet– whoop, whoop
This menu has me starved! If you’re struggling with meal planning, I can teach you how to get it on the table in 5 simple steps!
