Here is your weekly meal plan and shopping list! Two of the meals this week are built around a simple pulled pork recipe that uses a slow cooker. If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can cook the pork shoulder in a large pot on the stove or in a low oven. If you need to use those options, then we recommend making the pulled pork in advance on a day when your schedule allows, and just reheating it on the nights you’ll need it.

You should have some rice leftover from previous weeks, as well as possibly some frozen vegetables, both of which can be served as side dishes. Leftover quinoa that doesn’t get used in the Cheddar Quinoa dish can also substitute for rice as needed.

On Tuesday, use the optional apple-cinnamon addition for your buttermilk pancakes. To avoid buying buttermilk that you may not use up, make your own by mixing 1 cup of milk with a few tablespoons of the plain yogurt that’s already on the shopping list. You can also keep costs down by using entirely all-purpose flour for the pancakes, instead of a mixture of white and whole wheat.

Please note that the recipes provided may serve different numbers of people. The shopping list is built from the recipes, so depending on the size of your family, you may need more or less of some ingredients. Remember to check the serving sizes before you shop so you can adjust your list to work for your family!
