Such a great variety of fresh vegetables gives me tons of options for our dinners this week. Plus, I am able to pull out some recipes that we haven’t enjoyed since this time last year.
My Weekly Meal Plan
Every week, I want to be sure that my weekly meal plan incorporates the healthiest foods that I can get for the best price. Choosing to build dinners around what is in season and on sale is one of the most effective ways to save money. Here’s what’s on our schedule for this week:
Sunday: Eggplant Parmesan Pasta – This recipe was one of the first that I ever tried with eggplant. You’ll find step-by-step instructions and pictures with the recipe.
Monday: Grilled Chicken with my chilled Cucumber Salad and cantaloupe for dessert.
Tuesday: Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches loaded with sliced bell peppers
Wednesday: Salmon with Panko Crust over greens, with baked potatoes and freshly sliced tomatoes. Finishing up the cantaloupe for dessert.
Thursday: Thai Eggplant and Tomato Pasta salad. I’m going to just slice up and steam some patty pan squash to go with this.
How do you prepare and serve patty pan squash? I would love some ideas!
Friday: We’re splurging tonight with BLT sandwiches. Not particularly healthy, but we are using whole wheat bread, garden fresh lettuce, and grilling the bacon (less fat). These juicy slicer tomatoes were just screaming to be used on BLT’s–what could I do??
Saturday: Stuffed Poblano peppers with a side salad.

I like to slice up patty pan squash (or any type of squash) and put Italian dressing over it and put in the oven at 400 for around 30 mins, depending on how tender you like it…or you can wrap in foil and steam on the grill!
I bake patty pan squash in a 9×12 pan with a little water at the bottom. I bake until it’s tender and then take it out of the oven. I cut the top of the squash and spoon out the “meat” of the squash. I mix with a little butter, seasonings, bread crumbs and bacon pieces. You can add a little parmesean, too. Then refill the squash cups and bake a bit further. I’m sure you can play around with the ingredients but that is the basic recipe. My boys love it.
Wow, that sounds amazing! Might have to try that idea tonight!!!
Hi Kelly, I’m looking for your recipe for eggplant.
Barb,
Which eggplant recipe are you looking for? The recipe in this week’s plan is for Thai Eggplant, but I also have a recipe for Roasted Eggplant Pasta and Eggplant Parmesan. You can always find my favorite recipes in my Recipe Box at any time. Hope that helps!
