weekly meal plan

I usually try to make a meal and then roll the leftovers into another meal or two. This week my menu is a little different because I have a surplus of vegetables from my garden. I will be preparing meals that either call for fresh vegetables or can be adapted to include them.

Monday- A modified version of Minestrone Soup that will incorporate more veggies from my garden and Garden Salad

Tuesday- Black Bean and Cauliflower Chili, Gluten Free Corn Bread, and Garden Salad

Wednesday- Tuscan Turkey Soup, Keto Dinner Rolls, and Garden Salad

Thursday- Vegetable Lasagna and Garden Salad

Friday- YOYO

Saturday- Chicken and Rice Soup and Garden Salad

Sunday- Garlic Chicken, Sautéed Summer Squash and Zucchini, Broiled Cherry Tomatoes , and Strawberry Spinach Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette

Do you have a favorite recipe that uses a lot of vegetables? If so, please let me know!

    Looks very healthy! I like to make soups too because you can always freeze the leftovers. I'm trying a oven-roasted spaghetti sauce today. Will let you know how it turns out. It uses up a lot of garlic, onions, tomatoes, and peppers. Oh and herbs!

    I have never tried a breakfast burrito. I will visit to get more recipes, the more meals I can use veggies the better!

    Your menu looks wonderful! We are going to try you Black Bean and Cauliflower Chili – I know we would LOVE it!!

    My favorite thing to do with veggies is to either oven roast them with olive oil and salt or caramelize them in my cast iron skillet with butter and salt. We do all sorts of things with the veggies, like eat them plain, as a side dish, make a panini from them, add them to lasagna or spaghetti, put them on pizza, and most recently, we had them in breakfast burritos (pic on my blog).

    Yay for garden veggies :O)

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
