During the month of January, I’ll be posting every dinner I plan to cook for the week starting today. The following meals/recipes are made this week almost exclusively from items in my pantry or deep freezer. I’m also challenging myself by making several new recipes. This week is a full week of hearty recipes, we’ll see how much creativity I have left 2 weeks from now. Of course each week we’ll have to purchase milk, fruit, veggies, etc. However with the 99 cent store on hand and a $30 budget this should be a fairly easy task. We shall see!
Jan. 1st – Busy Day Pork Chops – served with Brussel Sprouts & Rice
Jan. 2nd – Homemade Pizzas with all the fixins, thanks Krista!
Jan. 3rd - Potato & Bacon Soup – served with warm crusty bread.
Jan. 4th – Bruschetta Chicken Bake, Thanks Susanna!
Jan. 5th – Michael Angelos Veggie Lasagna, bought them with my BOGO coupon!
Jan. 6th - Chicken and Broccoli Parmesan Pasta
Jan. 7th – Breakfast for Dinner, I really just want to test out the new griddle my kids got me for Christmas.

Thanks for the mention! But I’m warning you, that soup is addictive. Very addictive.
I need to make some… NOW
It looks delicious and affordable! Can’t wait to try it.
Don’t forget if you wanted to get pre-made dough you can buy it pretty cheap at Papa Murphys and it comes on that baking tray so you wouldn’t have to dirty a baking pan lol
Krista, how much are those?
Thanks for sharing these recipes…..I printed several of them!
They have different sizes- I can’t be too sure what they range(small-family?). I wanna say the small one was $2 and the family size was $4…not 100% sure but it was for sure under $5 for the family size. We even bought a extra one and made breadsticks with it
I too intend on cooking something NEW each week. You can follow my progress on my blog and find a slew of recipes there as well.
Do pop by and say hello.
Everything sounds delicious…brussels sprouts are a new fave of mine, but I can’t seem to get the fam on board!
