The $5 Dinners Weekly Meal Plan with Printable Grocery List

Every week I will post 5 links to archived recipes, plus an additional 1 or 2 recipes for breakfast, snacks or batch cooking recipes.  You can click through to see the original recipe and print that recipe if you like. (Or go green and just come back to this post to get to the recipe.)

Well, we survived the pantry challenge week and our freezer and fridge are mostly bare, and the pantry has a nice empty space carved into it. I’m looking forward to restocking and starting new and fresh on ingredients!

If you’re looking for some ideas on what to make this week, look no further…



The Recipes

Hawaiian Meatloaf

Grilled Pork Chops with Peaches & Red Onions

Black Beans with Mango & Cilantro

Sausage Pizza Kebabs

Crunchy Parmesan Spaghetti

Salsa Verde Breakfast Tacos

And feel free to check out all the previous weekly meal plans with printable grocery list for other options!

Scroll down and you’ll see a list of ingredients for each of the recipes included, in the order they are listed above. I’ll include ALL ingredients, including many that you already have in your pantry, refrigerator, or freezer. If you have those ingredients, just don’t click them!

Put a check mark by each of the ingredients, and then print your grocery list and be on your way to the grocery store!
