Safeway Weekly Meal Plan for 5 Under $100

Here is a sample meal plan for the week that highlights meal ideas that you can make for a week’s work of dinners, two breakfasts, and lunches using sale ingredients at Safeway.  My objective is to keep the meal plan under $100 per week and each recipe feeds 5. 

You can always halve the recipes if you have a smaller household.   This week’s protein focus is chicken thighs, eggs, ground beef, canned beans, salmon and shrimp.  Produce focus is apples, broccoli, asparagus, avocados, and salad.

Valentines Dinner: Bang Bang Shrimp with Chicken Bowls

The truth is no one really wants to be in the kitchen on Valentine’s Day.  This year the high on Valentine’s Day is forecast for 25°.  It’s the perfect night to stay in, enjoy some Bang Bang Shrimp bowls, watch a movie and have some dessert to celebrate your loved ones.  While I’ve traditionally done surf and turf  – we are keeping it light this year with lean proteins like shrimp and chicken over brown rice or cauliflower rice.
