More importantly, six Straightforward Dinners from ALDI for $60.00 ALDI meal plan -- Begin cooking 4/14/19 Sunday: Slow cooker honey chipotle BBQ chicken sandwiches (reserve two cups cooked chicken for tomorrow's recipe). Serve on hamburger buns topped with a few mild pepper rings and sliced cheddar (melt that onto the sandwiches applying the microwave or toaster oven), with grapes and half the bag of tortilla chips on the side.

Monday: BBQ chicken naan pizza (apply yellow onion, if you don't have red on hand). Slice up the mangoes on the side.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Remember that tuesday: Slow cooker chicken enchilada chili (apply chicken thighs instead of breast) topped with cilantro, plus the rest of the tortilla chips. Wednesday: Chicken sausage dinner salad, and leftover chili. (Substitute brine from the mild pepper rings + a few of the pepper rings for the pepperoncini in the dressing.) Enjoy your salad and chili with oranges.

Thursday: Smoked sausage, zucchini, & spinach pasta (apply regular instead of baby spinach). Serve with a chopped side salad made with the last heart of romaine, any leftover spinach you didn't apply in the pasta, the yellow bell pepper, & two tomatoes.
