Family Meal Plan

MONDAY

• Main Dish: – Garlic Bread Chicken Caesar Sandwich– Yes it is every bit as delicious as it sounds!!… and can be ready to eat in as little as 15 minutes. My kids even love this dinner even though there is lettuce involved so I call that a pretty big win. Cut them big or small depending on how hungry each person is!
• Side Dish:
  • Tomato Mozzarella Salad– The fresh taste of this is the perfect side for this big hearty sandwich!
  • Chips– To keep it super quick and easy, just add some chips on the side. If you have more time you can make these roasted potato wedges.

TUESDAY

• Main Dish: Thick & Chunky Crockpot Chili– This recipe is EVERYTHING chili should be but made super easy! Just dump it in the crock pot and forget it until you are ready to eat. It is super hearty, loaded up with lots of meat, veggies, and beans. Let your family top it off with their favorite toppings to customize it for each person!
• Side Dish:
  • Cheater Mexican Cornbread– This comes together with just about 4 ingredients and is the most tender and delicious cornbread I have made!
