Family Meal Plan
*If you make a recipe this week and love it, please consider leaving a rating and comment on the recipe post. It helps to support my blog and makes my day!*
Monday
- Main Dish: Ranch Chicken Bites – These are lovingly known as adult chicken nuggets among me and my friends. They’re bite-sized and delicious! *make extra for Wednesday*
- Side Dish:
- Baked Potato Wedges – These feel like french fries but are super easy to make at home in the oven.
- Side salad – Easily one of my favorite go-to’s. I like mixed greens with a sprinkle of mozzarella, tomatoes, and this homemade ranch dressing, but use whatever veggies that sounds good.
Tuesday
- Main Dish: Taco Stuffed Zucchini Boats – Keep dinner light with these. They are quick to make and the clean up is fast.
- Side Dish:
- Sautéed Fajita Veggies – If you want to keep the meal low carb these veggies would be a great side dish.
- Mexican Rice – Add a scoop of rice to every taco zucchini bite for a *chef’s kiss*.
- Hot Buttered Tortillas – Yummy!
Wednesday
- Main Dish: Ranch Chicken Pitas – Using the *leftovers from Monday, turn them into pita’s! Stuff the chicken bites into a pita with lettuce, tomato, onion and cucumber. Top with ranch dressing. Try my homemade ranch recipe.
- Side Dish:
- Parmesan Cauliflower – Only 4 ingredients and 15 minutes!
- Broccoli Slaw – We love this fresh side salad and even the kids will eat this one!
Thursday
- Main Dish: Cheeseburger Stuffed Meatloaf – Forget about boring meatloaf. This is on another level! It’s cheesy, easy, tender and so flavorful.
- Side Dish:
- Instant Pot Corn on the Cob – This 3 minute recipe is quick to make while your meatloaf is in the oven.
- Easy Baked Mac – This is a great complement to meatloaf. If you want the ultimate comforting meal, make this!
Friday
- Main Dish: Buffalo Chicken Salad – This chicken salad can be thrown together quickly with and served between two slices of your favorite bread for an easy sandwich, on a salad, or even stuffed in a tomato or pepper.
- Side Dish:
- Crock Pot Loaded Potato Soup – A meatless side that would taste great alongside your salad or sandwich is this creamy soup that is loaded with flavor!
- Maple Glazed Carrots – Sweet carrots are the perfect match for buffalo ranch chicken salad flavors.
- Dessert: No Bake Cookies – These are my favorite in the fridge so they’re slightly chilled!
Appetizer
- Hawaiian Meatballs – If you need to feed a crowd, try these!
