My friend and I have teamed up in an effort to spend less time cooking and get out of our “dinner ruts.” We will each be cooking three meals this week and doubling them to give each other three different meals. Cooking double doesn’t take much extra time or money and we’ll get to try some of each other’s recipes! I’m really excited to get to try her meals next week!
Monday: Pizza
Tuesday: Roast with Carrots and Potatoes (recipe below), Crescent Rolls, and Salad
Wednesday: Cheesy Chicken Potato Chowder and Crusty French Baguette x2
Thursday: Easy Italian Pasta Bake with Salad and Garlic Bread x2
Friday: Cheesy Chicken Tetrazzini with Veggies x2
Saturday: Slow Cooker Beef Stew and Biscuits
Sunday: TBD
I love my roast recipe! The meat comes out juicy and tender and I always eat too much of it! I love that it is so easy too!

Hi there,
I love menu planning combined with shopping. Thanks for sharing. I will link to this post because I know other mommy's would love it too!

Thanks for sharing that roast recipe. I'm always looking for new crockpot recipes.

Amber,
I have listed my prices in the past, but with my life being so hectic right now I'm having a hard time remembering prices! lol. I can give you an approximate cost of the roast meal:
Roast: $4 - $5
Carrots: $1.10
Potatoes: 97¢ ea.
Soup Mix: 25¢
Cream Soup: 27¢ ea.
Broth: 80¢
Salad: 12¢
Rolls: Free
So, this week my roast meal costs a little under $10 and I will be using the leftovers to make my beef stew. The cost will always vary depending on sales. I try to buy all my ingredients on sale (this week I paid full price for the potatoes and broth!). If you search Menu Plan Monday you could probably find a cost breakdown of my roast meal that I've posted previously.
What I love as that you are using recipes that are healthy. Especially good for those of us that are trying to maintain a healthier lifestyle. Thanks!
Would it be possible to include the cost you spent on the meals when you list your favorite recipes on the page? It would help me to think about my budget knowing that the roast and veggies is a $10 meal serving 6 people or possibly less serving more people.
I know the price won't be exactly what it would cost world wide, but it should be close.
