Note: I had to make some cuts to make this week’s plan add up, so: If you have wiggle room in your own budget, add shredded cheddar to top Sunday’s & Tuesday’s recipes, plus a couple of avocados for Tues. — and also, get vine-ripe tomatoes for Monday instead of Roma tomatoes.

*** Staple items you’ll need: Check for pantry staples, seasonings, & condiments that are used in this week’s recipes, but not included in the shopping list:

Olive oil, butter, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, chili powder, oregano, basil, cumin, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, cayenne, cinnamon, smoked paprika, seasoned salt, sea salt, black pepper, salad dressing

** Note: You can often substitute something else and/or omit some of these items, depending on the recipe. Read through the recipes before shopping, to see where you may need to re-stock your own pantry staples.
