Each week, we share a FREE meal plan to help you figure out what’s for dinner! These family meal plans are thoughtfully crafted to give you options for a main dish, and two side dishes for each week day with a special emphasis on meals both kids and adults will enjoy.

Family Meal Plan

Monday

• Main Dish: Marry Me Chicken and Tortellini – When my Marry Me Chicken went viral on TikTok I KNEW I had to make something else – so this was created and it is out of this world!
• Side Dish:
  • Italian Side Salad – This salad paired with this meal will have your family wondering if you ordered takeout from an Italian restaurant!
  • BEST Ever Garlic Bread – Is there anything better than a crusty piece of garlic bread dipped into a creamy sauce?

Tuesday

• Main Dish: Buffalo Chicken Chili – This is a winning dump and go recipe and it is perfect for all the chili flavors to marinade together all day! This is a classic chili recipe with a surprise zip from the buffalo sauce. *Save your leftovers for Thursday – you won’t regret it! *
• Side Dish:
  • Instant Pot Baked Potatoes – The chili is already very hearty, but if you want to beef it up some more, these potatoes are great!
  • Homemade Buttermilk Cornbread – This is the best cornbread recipe! All you need are a few pantry staples and it makes the most tender, moist, perfect cornbread of all! 

Wednesday

• Main Dish: Oven Roasted Turkey Tenderloin – This cut of meat is so underrated! Every bite is juicy and delicious.
• Side Dish:
  • Roasted Green Beans — This classic side dish is one that everyone enjoys.
  • Lemon Rice – An easy side dish that goes with pretty much everything? Yes, please!

Thursday

• Main Dish: Buffalo Chicken Chili Sheet Pan Nachos — Make the most epic batch of nachos ever with your buffalo chili from Tuesday.
  • Empty a bag of tortilla chips on a sheet pan (AKA a rimmed baking sheet—you want the edges so the chips don’t slide off!), top with your leftover Creamy Buffalo Chicken Chili, then sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Bake in a 400ºF oven until the chili is warmed through and the cheese is melted, then add your favorite toppings and dig in.
  • Topping Ideas:
    • Blue Cheese Crumbles
    • Chopped Green Onions
    • Sliced Jalapeños
    • Sour Cream
    • Chopped Cilantro
    • Sliced Avocado
    • Lime Wedges
    • Shredded Lettuce
    • Crumbled Bacon
• Side Dish:
  • Black Beans — These Black Beans are made in the crock pot with a few special seasonings and are one of the easiest and most delicious way to prepare them.
  • Mexican Roasted Vegetables – These take only a few minutes to prepare!

Friday

• Main dish: Crock Pot Pineapple Chicken — This is a quick and easy, no fuss dinner that’s great for Friday night.
• Side Dish:
  • Asian Cucumber Salad — This dressing doesn’t require any cooking and can be made in advance making it great for busy nights.
