Healthy Budget Spring Meal Plan

Seven easy, family-friendly dinners for about $155. The trick is two proteins bought in bulk: roast 2 whole chickens on Monday and stretch them through the week, and grab a 3-pack of ground beef for the rest. Fresher spring flavors, repeat ingredients, zero overthinking.
What’s on the menu
- Roast Chicken with Baked Sweet Potatoes & Cheesy Roasted Asparagus
- Southwest Ground Beef Bowl
- Big Mac Salad
- Garlic Butter Chicken Fried Rice
- Buffalo Chicken Bowls
- Creamy Taco Soup (a sneak peek from my cookbook)
- Egg Roll in a Bowl
What you get
- The full week at a glance, with sides spelled out (no guessing what goes with what)
- A complete grocery list, sorted by section of the store
- Serves a family of 4, about $155 for the whole week (Walmart prices)
- A printable 4-page PDF, including the cookbook taco soup recipe, yours to keep
