Here’s week 3 menu plan. Our famous lasagna is included in this week’s plan, so be sure to get the recipe from our recipe section, you won’t be sorry! For the pizza, when we don’t have time to make our own dough, we do one of two things, we either go to Trader Joe’s and buy one of their very yummy pizza doughs, or we go to our local pizza place and buy their dough. You can check with your favorite pizza place to see if they will sell you just a small, medium or large sized dough.

Remember, the idea behind my menu plans is I try to utilize one protein for most of the week, as the end of the week nears, I start with my next protein and so on. If, for example, you see steak one day and steak salad the next, the thought is that you buy enough steak in bulk to save money and use it more than once. Same holds true for chicken. And, of course buying a whole chicken is a lot cheaper than buying pre-cut, skinned, boneless breasts, but it all depends on how much work you want to put into this.
