This $50 Meal Plan Feeds You for the Week (LifebyMikeG)

A lesson in making a few ingredients do several jobs. Mike G's plan pairs roast chicken with braised cabbage, makes a simple chicken stock, and puts lentils to work three ways: a pot of Instant Pot lentils, a lentil vegetable soup and lentil crackers. Cabbage comes back in an okonomiyaki-style cabbage pancake, and there is a chicken salad, banana pancakes and an apple turnover cake as well. The shopping list and all nine recipes are in a free document linked from the video. Skip it if you want one dinner tonight; watch it on a weekend when you can shop and prep for the days ahead.
