To help ease the task of cooking everyday, I've included a 7 day meal plan in this blog post.
This meal plan starts off on Sunday with a pot roast, a meal that oozes comfort–something that we could use more of, right?
Other recipes include Greek Chicken, Curried Veggies with Garbanzo Beans, Tuna and Pasta Casserole, Pizza, and Pasta Primavera.
I hope you find the meal plan helpful.
Enjoy & Happy Cooking!
Day one
I can’t remember the last time I cooked a pot roast, but I’m definitely going to cook them more often.
Pot roasts are filled with flavour and super easy to cook. What you do is simply brown the beef first in a big pot. Remove the beef and add the veggies. Sauté the veggies in the pot and then throw everything back into the pot, cover with a lid and cook for 3 hours in the oven.
The only down side is your house smells mouth-wateringly delicious for 3 hours….which may drive you crazy! I served the beef with mashed potatoes and some frozen veggies.
The best part of this meal was that I bought a roast big enough for two meals which meant no cooking the next day. I suggest you do the same.

We had a Greek themed dinner on day three. It was marinated chicken served with a Tzatziki (super easy to make), Greek salad and brown rice. I doubled the amount of rice because I knew I was serving rice the next day with a veggie curry.
This was an easy dinner, colourful and tasty. If you have left overs they’re fantastic for lunch the next day.

Tonight was an easy curried vegetarian dish. You’ll want to try this recipe because it is lovely. I served it with brown rice. I didn’t have the cauliflower which the recipe called for so I added in other veggies that were in my refrigerator. It worked just fine. This is a recipe that you can always add more veggies to.

On day five I made a dish from my past, a tuna casserole. Tuna casserole has all the components of comfort food: hard boiled eggs, noodles, cheesy white sauce….plus potato chips on top. Everyone will want seconds so there won’t be left overs tomorrow!

Day six was pizza night, a staple in our household. If you’ve never made pizza dough now is the time to try it. Add whatever toppings you’d like to your pizza such as tomatoes, olives, onions and topped with mozzarella cheese.

Day seven was Saturday night and I made a pasta primavera. This pasta primavera is a tasty dish loaded with roasted veggies.
Pot roasts are filled with flavour and super easy to cook. What you do is simply brown the beef first in a big pot. Remove the beef and add the veggies. Sauté the veggies in the pot and then throw everything back into the pot, cover with a lid and cook for 3 hours in the oven.
The only down side is your house smells mouth-wateringly delicious for 3 hours….which may drive you crazy! I served the beef with mashed potatoes and some frozen veggies.
The best part of this meal was that I bought a roast big enough for two meals which meant no cooking the next day. I suggest you do the same.

Day two
Day two was left-over pot roast. I find that some people love leftovers and others think leftovers are only good for the dog. I’m sure the dog would agree! I served this night’s meal with leftover mashed potatoes and frozen veggies (again), plus I made a salad. I also started marinating the chicken for tomorrow night’s dinner.Day three
This was an easy dinner, colourful and tasty. If you have left overs they’re fantastic for lunch the next day.
