Pork Medallions with Apricot Orange Sauce
Green Beans
(I will probably use a pork chop if it is cheaper than a medallion cut. I will use my homemade apricot jelly "1/2 cup with 1/2 of warm water" instead of making an Apricot Orange Sauce - hey its in the frig - so basically free.)

(If asparagus it over $2.00 a pound I will be buying broccoli)
(I will use soy sauce instead of tamari sauce. Tamari is $22.56 a bottle at Walmart. I will use orange juice from an orange - let's make these meals budget friendly)

Wow, looks great, I can't wait to try these recipes!
Just came back from getting my groceries for the week. Love that these meals are easy, healthy, and very budget-friendly. I just got a thick slice of ham from the deli($2) for the Monday meal and a few sandwich slices of turkey to add on the panini night and boneless pork chops were on sale ($3) so I got those instead. I wasn't going to get asparagus but they were on sale so I got a bundle to use instead of the green beans and in the stir fry. Yum! If you get bacon for the panini night-you could cut up a strip or two and put it in the brown sugar/ketchup beans. Thanks for posting (and teaching!!) mom!
These all sound delicious and anything budget friendly is welcome in this house of hungry boys!
