- Monday. Spaghetti with a meat and tomato sauce, with a side salad.
- Tuesday. Baked chicken thighs with rice and frozen mixed vegetables.
- Wednesday. Bean and cheese quesadillas with carrot sticks.
- Thursday. Vegetable and egg fried rice using Tuesday's leftover rice.
- Friday. Homemade pizza or pasta bake, an easy end to the week.

Tuesday's rice feeds Thursday and Saturday's chicken feeds Sunday. Shared ingredients are how a family week stays affordable without getting repetitive.
