ALDI meal planning week of 1/15/17 – 1/21/17

Six complete dinners for a family of four for $60.00

Prices here are collected from this week’s ad and my local store, but may vary somewhat by location. I’m assuming here that you already have pantry basics like olive oil and spices on hand.

Six Easy Dinners from ALDI for $60.00

  • Sunday: Easy one pan sriracha chicken & veggies. (Slice 1.5 lbs of chicken into strips for this recipe, reserving the rest for Tuesday, and substitute yellow onion for red.) Note: ALDI does not carry sesame oil — just a little bit adds a nice flavor & is a great product to have on hand for a lot of recipes, but feel free to leave out if you don’t have in your pantry. Side: Organic mixed greens salad, mandarins.
  • Monday:  Meatless Monday breakfast for dinner: Mushroom, cheddar, & spinach omelet. Serve with pan fried diced potatoes and fruit: Blueberries, sliced mango, mandarins.
  • Tuesday: Salsa chicken (use the other three lbs) — serve in tortillas with guacamole, cheese, diced tomatoes, & sour cream. Side: Spanish rice.
  • Wednesday: Slow cooker pulled pork — use for BBQ pork sandwiches. Sides: Oven baked potato wedges, plus roast the rest of the cauliflower & broccoli with garlic & seasonings of choice.
  • Thursday: Easy salsa chicken enchiladas. (Stir a little cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder into tomato sauce and spread half in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Stir a little sour cream into some leftover salsa chicken, spoon chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla, roll up and place seam side down. Top with the other half of the tomato sauce and more shredded cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes, until browned on edges and top with sliced avocado.) Side: Sauteed kale (substitute water for stock), mandarins.
  •  Friday: Pulled pork burrito bowls: Cooked rice topped with leftover pulled pork, black beans, avocado, shredded cheddar, diced tomatoes, & salsa. Side: Spinach salad topped with sliced hard boiled eggs.
  • Saturday: Leftovers — or date night!

I've made all of the recipes listed here! They are all great and family favorites! The schiracha chicken is exactly spicy garlicky. So good! I do not recommend using zucchini though. It made it a bit watery, still so tasty. Having the rest on rice tomorrow for lunch.

Thanks -- Glad you liked it! :) I've never tried making it with zucchini but that does release a lot of liquid when you cook it, lol.

Meatless meals would not work at my house. Also couldn't get by with only chicken & pork for the entire week - guess my DH is too fussy!
