On Monday, I will batch broil chicken and freeze some for busy nights and use the rest in recipes through out the week. I will be using in-season produce that I have found on sale at my local stores. For a list of in-season produce, check out the April Money Saving Guide.
I have a printable weekly menu plan and shopping list that you can download to make organizing your meal plan and grocery shopping a little easier.
Monday – Broiled chicken, Basmati Rice with Onion and Garlic, and Asian Coleslaw.
Tuesday – Use 2 broiled chicken thighs in a Chicken and Mango Salad with a Creamy Cilanto-Lime Dressing.
Wednesday – Swiss Chard and Garbanzo Bean Soup. Serve with a garden salad.
Thursday – Use leftover coleslaw and 2 broiled chicken thighs to make Asian Chicken Salad Wraps.
Friday – Salmon and Broccoli Stir Fry served over leftover rice.
Saturday – Cabbage Roll Soup with Turkey. Serve with a garden salad.
Sunday – Swiss Steak
If you need help getting started making a menu plan, you can read how I create menu plans, which includes mention of various methods I have used in the past. Another tool that is available to help is ZipList. I created a video, showing how I use ZipList to save recipes, make meal plans, and create shopping lists.

Ack! the link to Swiss Chard and Garbanzo Bean Soup isn’t working! 🙁
I saw that, it sounded like instant YUM to me and quickly clicked on it. 😉
