Big Mac Salad – https://www.motherthyme.com/big-mac-salad

I always keep pasta and pasta sauce on hand to whip up for an easy meal too.

Greek Dressing
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon (about 1/2 lemon), juiced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste

Add all ingredients to a jar, close lid and shake well. Store in refrigerator until ready to use.

Over 7 easy-go to dinner recipes! I don’t plan ahead what I am going to make each day unless it’s an ingredient that needs to be used up first. Most of the time I decide the night before or the morning what I’m going to make with the “pool” of dinner ingredients I’ve picked for the week or let the family pick.

I keep my list of recipes on the menu for the week going and cross them off until I get low, then I start working on my meal plan for the following week, rotating go-to recipes and I always like to add a few new ones into the rotation to keep things fun and trying new recipes!

Let me know if you’d like to see more videos like this and more meal planning ideas and tips!

I hope this gave you some dinner and recipes inspo!

House we will do a haul and even do some meal prepping for the week too so grab yourself a coffee and let’s head into Aldi got my quarter and my bags and I’m ready to head and side first stop is produce Aldi has the bre price for produce this bag of sweet potatoes was $ 1.77 this week I needed some bananas I love their honey crisp apples I stuck up

On the produce you cannot go wrong I was going to pick up a pineapple but I got a few last week so it was a really good price on pineapple too I also picked up this Ginger last week too ginger root for $1.99 their potatoes are also such a

Great great deal on all of their produce you can’t beat it I grabbed some broccoli their brussels sprouts I also got some of these grapes they’re delicious I love that they have a variety of herbs too I love their green onions for like less than a dollar you

Can’t go wrong and I love these little CES I’ve been enjoying like the mini CES their seated breads are excellent as well and these almond flour crackers are so good I love them I didn’t get them this week but they’re really good too I’ve enjoyed this coffee we’ve actually

Enjoyed this coffee it’s their Classic Roast I needed some quick cook oats for a recipe this week so I picked those up too maple syrup for sourdough pancakes got those I haven’t tried this pancake mix but I’d probably like that Kodiak mix too Wayne loves granola um I didn’t

Pick any up this week but this one is really really good and I love their granilla cereals too the kids and still enjoy the cereal bar that I set up in the pantry I needed some new cereal for the jar so I picked up some honey Gams I’m making Greek

Chicken bowls this week um I have olives already at home or I would have picked up these I always buy their toilet paper and paper towels I’m set on that though this week and I love their guacamole singles they’re so good I get them all

The time but I didn’t need those I also love these pickles too I didn’t need any this week but these are a must try I love that they even have the shredded chicken too and this thick cut cheese I always get their organic half and half

But they were out and I love the cagefree eggs too I just got home from Aldi got everything unloaded so I’m going to show you here in just a minute everything that I got and tell you my meal plan for the week I ended up spending $230 which

Covers breakfast lunch dinner and snacks for the week for a family of four two adults and two teenagers 13 Going on 14 we also homeschool too so they are home for lunch as well so breakfast and lunch is pretty loose it’s for breakfast it’s either pancakes I do sourdough pancakes

A lot I’ll scramble some eggs I have some bacon Easy E even like cereal or oatmeal fruit smoothies simple uh same goes for lunch they’re not big like sandwich kids so we usually just have leftovers or I have like a few little things planned out in case they’re like

Mom make something for lunch but it’s either very very simple too I have dinner planned out snacks here drinks here uh so 230 for the week I thought was pretty good so I’m going to flip you around show you everything I got and show you my meal plan for the week as

Well I’m going to do my best to keep everything in order but I’m going to show you first what I like to do this is just my method of meal planning that I’ve done for years so I like to keep a binder and then in my binder I have all

The recipes that I’m going to make for the week and then even little things that I put in my notes of recipes that I like Loosely make up and and make weekly like my big mac salad is one of my favorite things like that so I like to

Keep it in the binder just because I can easily refer to make notes in it easily kind of just a mental reminder for me of what I’m making what I’m prepping ahead because I like to prep most of my meals for the day like either the night before

Or the morning so when it comes to dinner I’m not racing around so we’re going to get dinner prepped for tonight even um after I show you my haul too I got a couple packs of chicken I even have some chicken in the freezer too so

I got a couple fresh packs one is to make Greek chicken bowls they’re so good my family loves them we’re going to actually be prepping them here after I show you my haul I like to marinate it in the Speedy sauce too and then we serve it with rice I do cauliflower rice

For myself and then just olives and tomatoes and cucumbers and taziki sauce and Greek dressing it’s delicious and then the other one is for the marry me chicken type of recipe but I kind of do my own little Style on that too and then I even have like I said some chicken in

The freezer to as a backup as well I picked up a couple packs of their ground beef I love their organic ground beef it’s such a reasonable price too I think it’s like $529 for a pound so reasonable for their organic uh grass-fed ground

Beef so I have two of those one is for let me look at my recipe cuz I can’t remember the exact name the Asian ground beef and rice bowls that I’m going to be making so for one the other recipe that I have maybe for even going into next

Week so I like to even have stuff going into possibly even next week as well is uh Mongolian ground beef Ramen bowls too which is on the menu coming up so I grabbed it so if I don’t use it for Big Mac bowls I have it for that then I also

Got a pork which this is their half butt por uh pork roast and I got this to make the Dr Dr Pepper pull pork it’s so easy you guys my kids love it and then what I like to do with that is because they won’t eat all of the pork or we won’t

Eat all of the pork I’m going to do mine on sweet potatoes for the family I have rolls and what I also like to do is I’ll take that shredded pork once it’s cool and I’ll freeze half of it too so then I have it in the freezer and then I have

That even for lunches you know maybe next week you know you want to pull pork sandwich or even like down the road so it makes great freezer um a freezer recipe too so I have the pull pork here then I also picked up some of their

Bacon uh which I like to have on hand either to whip up a BLT Eden does like those for time to time or for lunch or for breakfast too and then I got their ground beef a big pack which is over 2 lbs of their uh ground beef which or

Ground turkey excuse EXC me and that is to make little mini turkey meat loaves um and then like I said I might use some of it for ground to ground up cook a hat to make my Big Mac salads which I love I prefer doing the turkey but I do do the

Beef too but depends on how much of this I’m going to use for the little mini meat loaves I’ll link all the recipes down below that I’m making too um they’re just really simple easy good family familyfriendly recipe so that is pretty much all in the meat department

That I have for the week moving on to Der I picked up some butter because we needed some butter plus I plan on prepping some chocolate chip cookies I love prepping the dough ahead I think I’ve shared that before too I’ll link the recipe as well because then I freeze

The dough and then I can just pull out the dough maybe you know four or six little ones and pop them in the oven for fresh chocolate chip cookies it’s so easy I don’t think I’m going to make it today uh just because I’ve done the shopping and I’m going to prep dinner

But I might do that those tomorrow but like I said I’ll link that recipe too always a good little snack are these little creamy garlic and herb herb little wedges there’s only like 25 calories in them they’re so good uh just a quick little snack too I love these so

I got those um Wayne and Tyler love the mozzarella cheese string so I picked up that they sometimes have the organic but they didn’t have the organic today so I didn’t get that we needed some cheese so I got some shredded mozzarella uh to have then I also got some uh medium

Cheddar this is like the thick cut farmhouse style uh they had to so I picked up some of that I often like to shred my own but sometimes you guys it’s just you know makes it easy to have it already shredded so I have that as well

And then parmesan cheese they love F my kids love like fresh parmesan cheese so I usually get the block and then they freshly shred it so I needed some I was all out so I picked that up too and then cottage cheese I’m actually making Pinky Winky and I’ll probably prep that today

Um it’s so easy because I have the rest of the ingredients over there Wayne loves it it’s so easy it’s so good so I’ll show you how to make that and so I needed some cottage cheese the only thing they don’t have at Aldi is the

Raspberry Jell-O you need but um but I picked that up too so I got that and then also too every time I go to ALDI like this is like a weekly thing I always had to pick up one of like their little cakes Tyler loves their chocolate

Cake in like their little Bakery section next to the bread it’s like $4.99 but he’s kind of like over that so they also love their little cheesecake it’s like5 so I picked that up and they the kids love it so I got that and then also too

In that little area section I got a can of their jumbo biscuits this is to make the pepperoni pizza muffins they’re on my blog too they’re so easy so this is like one of those loose lunch items that I got so if they’re hungry I can make

Those they actually love making them so uh they’ll make that so that’s why I also have the pepperoni so and that’s why I have the mozzarella so they can make that so that is pretty much with the dairy if I miss miss something I you

Know I’m trying to go like I said trying to go in order so that is all for the dairy section and then as far as drinks go their raspberry and strawberry I got the strawberry this week There’s they have a raspberry too it’s so good it’s like a

$1.99 Wayne loves it the kids love it so I got that and then I go between their regular orange juice and their organic orange juice so I just picked up the regular today uh what’s this behind oh I needed Mandarin oranges uh for the the Pinky Winky and I got

This instead of the one that’s in the can just because I like that this one isn’t 100% fruit juice so I’ll need a few of those for the um Pinky Winky um they had the can too but I just preferred that so I got that and then I

Needed some pasta one of the recipes we’re making this week well it’s been like on a weekly thing for like the last three weeks now they love like this easy hamburger helper and you guys it’s it’s so good it’s such a good easy re recipe

Too um I’ll link it below we don’t do the zucchini in it um but it’s easy so I needed some pasta so I got some of their rotini and then also some Penny as well and then I wanted to try their hearts of pal lini I haven’t tried it yet so let

Me know in the comments if you’ve tried it uh looked really good so I plan on trying that for myself and then another snack for myself one of my favorites my mom actually got me hooked on these they’re so good um are the coconut cashew uh crisps they are so good and

There is 170 calories for like eight little cookies and they’re delicious they’re crispy and yummy um all really good ingredients in it it’s got your cashews coconut sugar cassava flour sea salt they’re delicious I love them and then I also picked up their their carb control um wraps their flour tortillas

Which only have 60 calorie four neck carbs high fiber um I love having these on hand to either make a quesadilla or you know to wrap up with some meat super yummy and delicious and low calorie too so I like those as well I just needed some more Maple Sy because

Like I said I make sourdough pancakes a lot I actually have my starters right over there so um needed some more maple syrup and it’s such a affordable price at Aldi 2 and then I needed some they were all out of the their bone their

Beef stock so I just picked up their uh their bone broth and that was for the um like the Hamburger Helper and I needed it I cuz I still have some in the refrigerator but I also needed it for one of the other recipes I think the um

Asian style ground beef and rice so I just picked up one more just to have two same goes for ketchup needed some ketchup too so I grabbed that the white wine vinegar is for the pesto chicken um it’s a sheet Pam and I just Loosely toss it together really

Easy with just that and I I love homemade pesto but this is a really good Jarred pesto it’s so good I just put the chicken in a zipl bag I add a little bit of pesto a splash of the white wine vinegar salt pepper garlic powder let it

Marinate all day and then pop it on a sheet pan along with some veggies even some potatoes and roast those all together it’s so easy so delicious it’s kind of just one of those things that I Loosely throw together and then I also needed some chocolate chips to make

Those chocolate chip cookies like I mentioned and I was out of chocolate chips and then these are the Brio rolls for the pulled pork sandwiches um so I grabbed those and then also some of mini bagos just easy to grab or even for a snack the kids like those also for

Snacks too I grabbed the cashew Eden loves cashews so I got the big thing of cashews and then I needed for the little little mini meatloaves I needed some quick oats I only had the oldfashioned so I got a big thing of the quick oats so I’ll use those up for other things

Too and then some other snacks they love nilow Wafers and I love the Nilla wafers along with at Aldi which we already have is the strawberry cream cheese and you use that for like a little snack you just take some of the strawberry cream cheese you can dip it in there it’s so

Good so if you’re looking for a quick easy and yummy snack Nilla wafers and strawberry cream cheese is delicious and then I they were kind of burnt out of some of the cereal I had so I just grabbed some of the honey GRS uh to just put in our little cereal uh containers

That we have in the pantry and Wayne and Tyler love these these little calzon they have a few different uh flavors uh but the pepperoni one is the ones that they usually go for so I just grabbed a couple again for some loose lunches so if they’re hungry they have something

That they can just easily grab also low on coffee so I grabbed their coffee this is really good coffee we switched from the cure egg back to just a regular classic coffee maker and we’ve enjoyed this coffee so it’s really a good coffee too I also grabbed their tomato basil

Pasta sauce it’s so good and it’s all clean ingredients too so really good price for that and then I also grabbed some sweet potatoes this big bag was .77 I’m going to be doing it with the pulled pork but I also love roasting the uh sweet potatoes too so really good buy

On this uh sweet potatoes I got a bag of the klaa for the pull pork and then I also got some mixed greens for for salads I got some potatoes to use for one of the sheep pan chickens I got some fruit just for snacks the Autumn crisp

Then some blackberries are really good too I needed some bananas which I love having and then also two strawberries we go through a lot of strawberries in this house so I always have them cut up for snacks or just whatever so um I got a

Couple of those as well as a bag of the honey crisp apples too I got a bag of spinach which is great for my smoothies I grabed some of their Roma which I’ll clean wash and chop up so I have that for salads I like to use this for the

Big mac salad which is so good and then also some uh broccoli whether I steam that I did get some frozen broccoli too because I like to have that on hand um but these are just big broccoli crowns so sometimes I’ll roast those up I like

To eat it raw too so sometimes it’s just for snacking and to have and then also to their green onions uh just to kind of garnish some dishes with and then I got some brussels sprouts for the Sheep pan chicken too so that was that and then I also got some onions I

Got some of their angel sweet tomatoes and that is for the Greek bowls along with there I love these little CES these little cucumbers they’re mini cucumbers so those are for the Greek bowls too and then for frozen I ended up getting a bag of their cauliflower uh rice that’s just for me

Everybody else will do regular rice and then some broccoli florets because I just like to have these on hand for a quick little side dish uh and then the sweet peas are actually for the Asian um ground beef and rice uh dish that I’m making and I’ll link that recipe below

And then some strawberries also for smoothies and my family loves ice cream for dessert so I got some strawberry ice cream vanilla ice cream and then I picked up these ice cream bars I haven’t gotten these in a long time so I got these too I’m going to put everything

Away before I prep tonight’s dinner and make that Pinky Winky but I wanted to mention to you too is their organic milk let me know if you’ve tried this it is delicious it’s creamy delicious of course organic so another must try from Aldi 2 I’m going to get everything put

Away I’m putting the potatoes in this basket and I’m going to fill this jar with the cereal this Pantry makeover that we did a few weeks ago we are still loving it it has been working out so well I’m prepping dinner for tonight but I’m also having a little snack because I haven’t eaten all day these are so good I get them all the time they are such a little treat you have to try them if you’ve not tried them at all yet so tonight I’m making Greek chicken bowls

They’re so good I just have my chicken here I love picking up this sauce at Aldi I also love sh chetas which is a local sauce too it’s really good but I’m just in a pinch and I want to get everything at Aldi this is a nice alternative and very similar to the

Chetas so if you can find it at your Aldi too grab it I have some olives now I normally get them at Aldi but I had these on hand so I’m going to use those first feta which I had from last week uh from Aldi and then I had some taziki

Sauce which is not Aldi but they have it at Aldi this is um B’s head so I just had that on hand because we make these bowls all the time so I’m going to get my chicken marinated so they marinate all day now you can Grill the chicken I

Honestly like to bake it so I put mine in a 375° oven for about 40 minutes until it’s done just check it with your little thermometer and then I slice it up and it’s just so tender and juicy that’s the way I like to cook it but you

Can Grill it or saut it whatever you want to do and then I’m just going to make my quick little salad of tomato cucumber a little bit of red onion to serve on the side so I put it on a bed of rice and chop up the chicken or slice

Up the chicken and then add the a little tomato and cucumber salad on the side drizzle it with some taziki and some feta a little bit of Greek dressing which I’m also going to make and add the olives too it’s so good I’m going to do it with the cauliflower rice but

Everybody else does the the white rice and I do the white rice in the insta pot so I put two cups cups of rice plus two cups water 8 minutes in the insta pot 10 minutes on um let it just sit naturally release and then I turn it off in

Perfect white rice every time so really the only thing I use my instant pot for is for is for Rice because it makes such a great rice so I’m going to just get my chicken out here see if it needs to be trimmed at all looks pretty good pop in my

Bag instant pot rice is the way to go really the only thing I use my instant pot for I don’t even hard boil eggs in my instant pot anymore I used to but now I use my air fryer even for hardboiled eggs this all looks pretty

Good all right chicken looks good I love this chicken from Aldi let me wash my hands chicken is B so I’m going to add some of this dressing or marinade it’s really good and I just eyeball it that’s good and then I’m going to add

Just a little bit of salt and pepper too all right add some salt and I’m going to get the pepper and I also like to cook it in the oven then I don’t have to babysit I just pop in the oven I can do something else rice is cooking chicken’s cooking salads

Dy it’s effortless so whatever I can do if I’m grilling it or if I’m cooking it on the stove you still got to kind of babysit it so this is so easy so I got the chicken marinating it will marinate all day long smells really good and again this

Is the sauce I’m using it’s so good if you can get chetas it’s really really good too and I’ll grab that from time to time but like I said if I’m doing just an Aldi trip and I don’t want to go anywhere else this is a nice alternative so

Chicken’s done let me put this in the refrigerator getting another one of these cookies because they’re so good they’re just so tasty and there’s a few different flavors too think there’s a chocolate salted caramel I love the vanilla another thing with the rice too if you don’t want to do the instant pot

Rice of course you can do minute rice or just cook the rice you know normally but even Aldi has like a little bag 90c rice too my family my kids I don’t mind it but my kids like the instant pot rice so I’ve tried those in a pinch too and they

Just they know the difference so but they even have at aldi2 like the quinoa um all those 90c little Rices too which make it even easier too but I just do the insta pop so I’m going to make a quick little sadad I don’t need the

Olives cuz I just put those in a bowl for topping and then this is the feta and the taziki I don’t need those so let me put those in the refrigerator I don’t know where my tomato knife went so I’m just going to slice these up I’ve

Already rinsed them off washed them off I just like to kind of slice them like this this knife actually works pretty good too I usually have a tomato knife that I slice them with so I’m just going to slice these tomatoes in half okay that’s good with the tomatoes for now

I’m going to save those for salads and then these cute little cucumbers I’m going to rinse a couple of them off and slice them up too so I have a couple of these cute little cucumbers I’m just going to quickly peel them and I’m just going to slice them up

We’re going to do one more cucumber I love cucumber so we’ll do one more but I’m loving these mini ones and they’re such a good price at Aldi all right so let me just slice that up I love cucumber so there we go and finally I’m going to

Add a little bit of red onion just a little we’ll add a little bit more here is the tomato and cucumber salad I’m going to add a little bit of salt and pepper and drizzle it with a little bit of homemade Greek dressing it is so good Aldi does sell a really good

Mediterranean dressing but this one is so easy and so good and then I like to also have that dressing to drizzle on the Greek bowls too so you’ll have this the olives the feta the taziki the rice the chicken and then drizzling it on top

Is just like the icing on the cake so let’s whip that up add a little bit to this and then have the rest for dinner so I’m going to make the Greek dressing I have a mason jar that I’m going to store it in I’m going to start with a

Clove of garlic that I’m going to mince up this is so easy and it’s the best Greek dressing and prepping it ahead makes it so much nicer so then I’m not doing like the 5:00 Shuffle I’m worried about it when dinner comes it’s already done so I

Have one minced garlic I’m going to add a half a cup of olive oil extra virgin olive oil there abouts add that in next I’m going to add three tablespoons of red wine vinegar along with a half a lemon juice I love the smell of the fresh

Lemon about 1 tbspoon a little bit of Dijon about a half a teaspoon a little bit of oregano dried oregano about a teaspoon and then some salt and pepper can season that to taste so super easy you can even double the recipe just the minced garlic olive oil red wine

Vinegar lemon Dijon oregano salt and pepper it’s so good give it a good good Shake M oh it smells amazing so I’m going to drizzle just a little bit on the salad and save the rest for dinner I’m going to drizzle just a little bit because I love saving it to drizzle on top of the Greek bowls so just a little bit just to soak in that

Flavor it’s amazing and it’s even nicer when you have it already prepped so I like to prep either the night before or in the morning just have my plan get it prepped so it makes dinner so much easier let me add a little bit of salt

And pepper on top top two add a little bit of salt little bit of pepper of course taste a little bit too M so fresh and delicious perfect for the Greek bowls so I’m going to put a lid on this pop it in the refrigerator and it

Will soak up that dressing even more and that’s all prepped and ready for dinner next up I’m making Pinky Winky it’s such a good recipe for you guys it goes back years and years Wayne’s been asking for it so I’m going to whip it up

For him in my large bowl he needs 16 oz of cottage cheese I’m not a big cottage cheese fan but this is really good so this is 24 oz so I’m not going to add it all and then to that you need a packet of raspberry Jello-O just a packet I’m

Using a sugar-free one and you’re going to mix that in with the cottage cheese now I’m going to fold in the pineapple crushed pineapple you want to drain it but you can save that pineapple juice so you can drain it into like a little mason jar

And then you get about 1/4 cup of pineapple juice that you could use for something else or put it in the freezer because sometimes you use recipes that need pineapple juice maybe just a little bit and and if you just put in a little jar or even in a freezer bag then you

Have it in your freezer then I need my Mandarin oranges but like I said I got these because I like that they weren’t in um light syrup so I’m just going to add those drained as well you need at Le 11 oz I just use two of them mix that

In fold it in and then lastly you need a thing of Cool Whip thod or whip topping you can get the Aldi I actually had this in my freezer so I think it was actually from Thanksgiving so um I just wanted to use that up so I’m going to fold it in a

Little bit at a time and mix it all up oh it’s so good it’s like an Ambrosia but just really really good and so easy and you get the cottage cheese it’s such a good light snack like I said I am not a cottage cheese person but this I

Like yummy you better hide down Wayne already sees that I’m making this you guys this is so good like I mentioned I’m not a big cottage cheese person but this I can get behind it’s delicious perfect for spring and summer perfect for a spring or summer picnic you got to

Try it it’s like an orange fluff but not Orange it’s got the raspberry if you’ve made a similar just to this let me know what you’ve called it we’ve just always called it Pinky Winky Kitty even likes it so you got to try this I’m going to

Put it in a prettier Bowl since I just mixed that I’ll just pop that in the dishwasher let me get a bowl Wayne is so happy I made this it really is good this will not last long I’ve not made it in a while when he asked for it

So you know it’s good when he ask for it so that you guys is Pinky Winky now let’s make the Greek chicken bowls for dinner tonight I’m taking my marinated chicken putting it on a parchment line baking sheet I’m going to bake it in a 300 and 75° oven for 35 to

40 minutes until the chicken is cooked Thoroughly I’m also going to make the rice like I suggested before you could buy the 90c rice packets at Aldi I’m doing it in the insta pot I’m adding 2 cups of white rice along with 2 cups of water to my insta pot and I’m going to

Cook this on high pressure for 8 minutes then let it naturally release for 10 minutes while dinner is cooking and I have everything already prepped for that I have a few extra minutes so I’m going to wash my berries that picked up earlier at the store so I’m going to add

My strawberries to a bowl I add a little bit of vinegar and I’m going to soak it in some cold water for just a few minutes and then rinse them Off I soaked them for only a few minutes and then rinse them off and then I will set them aside to dry once they are dry I will slice them in half and put them in a storage container in the refrigerator to enjoy throughout the Week let me know in the comments how you like to wash and clean your produce I try to avoid the grocery stores on the weekends so I do my meal prepping either on Fridays or Mondays if you like to meal prep too let me know in

The comments what day of the week do you like to meal prop I have been meal prepping for years and if you followed me on Facebook years ago you’ve probably even caught me doing some live meal prepping I’ve kind of done my own thing now adapted my own way of meal prepping

And it just gets my week started on the right foot every week I meal prep I’m going to clean the grapes the same way I add a little bit of vinegar some cold water let them soak for a few minutes and then I will rinse them off

And the thing that I love about meal prepping and meal planning is that I have just everything planned out for the week I don’t have each day what I’m going to be making but just knowing that I have X amount of meals ready to go for
