Monday: Mexican Pizzas, Corn
Tuesday: Baked Chicken and Rice
Wednesday: Meal at Church
Thursday: Grilled Chicken, Macaroni and Cheese
Friday: Goulash, Peas


Baked Chicken and Rice
1 box Uncle Bens Chicken Flavored Rice
1 can cream of mushroom or chicken soup
1 1/2 c. milk (you could use water)
4 boneless chicken breasts

Pour rice in a greased 13 x 9 dish. Lay chicken on top of rice. Mix seasoning (that came with rice) with soup and milk. Pour over top. Cover and bake at 350 for 45 minutes to one hour. Uncover and bake until slightly browned on top.

Goulash
This is my 'go to' recipe when I'm running low on groceries. The ingredients are some I always have on hand.

1 lb. ground beef
1 box macaroni and cheese (the cheap stuff)
1 can diced tomatoes (you could easily use the Italian or Mexican flavored)
1 can water

Brown ground beef until no longer pink. Drain. Stir in uncooked noodles, diced tomatoes, water and cheese packet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Continue cooking until noodles are tender and water is absorbed, usually about 10-20 minutes.
A few easy additions you could make are onion with the ground beef or add corn or kidney beans at end.
