It is officially tax season! With that said, I like to use some of our tax return to restock the fridge and pantry. This meal plan I am focusing on freezer Filler dinners!
For breakfast and lunch, I kept things simple. For breakfast it’s just a favorite cereal or oatmeal with favorite fruit, which right now is apples for my boys. Lunch is just going to be leftovers from the night before. This way most of my attention can be focused on the dinners and making freezer meals that later can be used as backup dinners as known as plan B meals.
Below is a Walmart list of ingredients for this weeks meal plan. It is set up to double meals if you want to make freezer filler dinners. If not simple get what you need for the week. I did not include seasoning as most people have what they use on hand. This is NOT an affiliate link. I’m just providing a little simplicity!
This is the list of ingredients I will use but feel free to make them the way you and your family likes. Also I’m sure some people will not like the cilantro dinner and that’s ok, make chicken enchiladas instead as they can also be put in the freezer! Don’t forget to have freezer bags and aluminum pans for making freezer meals!
