I’m giving a monthly meal plan a try for February. I live alone and am cooking for one plus I have a reduced appetite because of the chemotherapy so I’m planning two to three home cooked meals per week and I can work on the leftovers for the other meals or eat some of the fillers listed at the bottom.
Week 1:
- fajitas (meat presliced and seasoned is in the freezer)
- chicken and cornbread dumplings (recipe from The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook, slow cooker)
Week 2:
- meatloaf, tater tots
- stir fried honey ginger chicken with peppers, rice (recipe from Everyday Food magazine)
- cheese enchiladas (recipe from The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook)
Week 3:
- fajitas (meat presliced and seasoned is in the freezer)
- chicken paillards with lemon butter sauce, mashed potatoes (recipe from Martha Stewart Living magazine)
- baked ravioli (recipe from Everyday Food: Great Food Fast, will substitute tortellini since I already have some on hand)
Week 4:
- shepard’s pie (recipe from Make It Fast, Cook It Slow, slow cooker)
- polenta wedges with asparagus (recipe from Everyday Food magazine, will move this item around to an appropriate week if there is a good sale on asparagus)
Fillers:
- pasta with or without turkey meatballs (meatballs from the freezer)
- canned soups
- chili (from the freezer)

P.S.: thank you for the nice email and still keeping you in my thoughts
This is a great menu plan. I find it difficult to cook for one but seems like you have the right plan.
How are you feeling?
