Do you struggle to decide what to cook every day?
Planning your weekly menu can seem difficult when time is limited. Between work, family and everyday commitments, it’s easy to end up improvising dinner or relying on quick meals that are not always the healthiest option.
The good news is that, with a well-planned shopping trip and quality ingredients, you can prepare varied, balanced and flavourful meals throughout the week without spending hours in the kitchen.
At Ramaders Agrupats, we are committed to local meat and making everyday life easier for families. With just a few basic products and some ingredients you probably already have at home, you can organise a complete weekly menu and make the most of every purchase.

Weekly Menu: 5 Easy Meat Recipes
Monday: Homemade Meatballs with Tomato Sauce
Start the week by making homemade meatballs using part of the minced meat. Serve them with white rice or boiled potatoes for a complete and easy meal.
Tip: Cook extra portions and freeze one serving for another week.
Tuesday: Beef Steak with Sautéed Vegetables
A quick recipe that will be ready in less than twenty minutes.
Cook the beef steaks on a hot griddle or frying pan and serve them with sautéed seasonal vegetables such as courgette, onion, carrots or peppers. A light, balanced and delicious meal.
Wednesday: Pasta with Minced Meat and Vegetables
Use the remaining minced meat to prepare a homemade sauce with onion, carrot and tomato.
Mix it with your favourite pasta and finish with a little grated Mahón cheese for an even more special touch.
Thursday: Oven-Baked Chicken with Potatoes and Rosemary
Chicken breasts can also be wonderfully juicy when cooked in the oven.
Bake them together with sliced potatoes, onion and rosemary for around 35 minutes. While the oven does the work, you’ll have time to prepare the rest of dinner or simply relax.
Friday: Fresh Sausages with Vegetables and Mustard
Finish the week with a simple recipe that everyone will enjoy.
Cook the sausages on the grill or in a frying pan and serve them with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. If you prefer a more casual option, serve them in rustic bread with caramelised onion and mustard.
Tips to Make the Most of Your Weekly Shopping
Good planning not only helps you cook faster, but also reduces food waste.
We recommend:
- Cook rice or potatoes for several days.
- Freeze the portions you won’t eat that week.
- Store the meat in individual containers so you only use what you need.
- Wash and chop the vegetables as soon as you get home from shopping.
- Plan your weekly menu before shopping to avoid impulse purchases.
These small habits will help you save time, reduce costs and organise your meals more efficiently throughout the week.
Planning your weekly menu doesn’t mean eating the same thing every day. With smart shopping and fresh, quality meat, you can prepare different, balanced meals that fit your daily routine.
Remember that you can shop in our stores or online, and we’ll deliver your order anywhere in Mallorca, the Balearic Islands or mainland Spain.
