Weekly Meal Plan 2/14/22 - 2/20/22

This week’s meal plan kicks off with Valentine’s Day. And while I shared some great Valentine’s recipes in last week’s meal plan, I am sharing a few more great ways to celebrate and plenty of other amazing recipes!

Be sure to read past the meal plan for some great notes and tips and don’t forget to create a grocery list to make your meal prep and shopping even easier!

Notes from this week’s meal plan:

Chocolate Chip Waffles with Strawberry Cream Cheese Sauce

The base of this recipe are eggless waffles that I make week after week, but you can use any waffle recipe you like (or even frozen waffles)
The strawberry sauce is the star of this recipe and made with only 4 ingredients
If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by simply combining milk and lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes.
The recipe calls for using frozen strawberries. The water content in the frozen berries will help the sauce be more liquid. If you want to use fresh strawberries, the sauce will just be thicker.
The strawberry cream cheese sauce was originally inspired by one that Ben picked out of the Let’s Cook: Elmo Cookbook (a cute kids’ cookbook). It was a recipe for strawberry cream cheese stuffed French toast, but we didn’t have 1/2 the ingredients, so we made a sauce and waffles instead.

BELTCH Breakfast Sandwich Recipe

You can also cook bacon in the microwave by laying slices between layers of paper towel and cooking for 3-5 minutes.

5 Ingredient Pesto Chicken Salad Bagel Sandwiches

Use a rotisserie chicken for even faster meal prep!

5 ingredient Mexican shredded beef and beef tostadas

You will first make a delicious Mexican shredded beef and then create beef tostadas with that meat.
This is a slow cooker recipe, so it’s hands off and very easy
You can use this beef on any of your favorite recipes, like these nachos.

Air Fryer Breakfast Recipe – Banana Cinnamon Roll Muffins

If you don’t have an air fryer, bake muffins in a muffin pan in an oven at 350 for 28 minute.

5 Ingredient Healthy Pasta for Meal Prep Lunches

I love these food storage containers for storing this recipe in the refrigerator.

5 Ingredient Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo

You can use frozen chicken. If chicken is frozen, cook for 15 minutes if chicken breasts are stacked or on top of each other. If you are able to lay frozen chicken flat on the bottom of the Instant Pot, cook for 10 minutes. You want the breasts a little pink at this point so they don’t over-cook.
Once you’ve released the pressure on the Instant Pot, let it sit without stirring. This will help the sauce thicken up.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, use 3/4 jar of water, instead of a full jar
