Family Meal Plan
– Week 370
*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: French Onion Chicken – If your family loves French onion soup flavors, you need this dinner in your life.
- Side Dish:
- Garlic Smashed Potatoes – My kids beg for these every time I make them. Crispy edges, soft centers… honestly I should probably just double the batch from the start.
- Side salad with homemade balsamic vinaigrette – This dressing is simple but makes the salad taste way better than a basic bagged salad situation.
Tuesday
- Main Dish: Rotel Chicken Bake – It’s not tacos, but it definitely has taco night energy. Cheesy, flavorful, and a dinner that disappears fast because everyone keeps going back for “one more scoop.”
- Side Dish:
- Easy Mexican rice or Cilantro Lime Rice – Either option works here! I usually pick whichever one sounds easiest that day and call it a win.
- Parmesan Roasted Broccoli – Roasting broccoli with parmesan should honestly be the only way to make it. Even the people who “don’t like broccoli” usually clean their plates.
Wednesday
- Main Dish: Turkey Tenderloin – This is one of my favorite ways to switch things up from chicken during the week. It cooks fast, stays juicy, and feels a little different without making extra work for you.
- Side Dish:
- Roasted Green Beans – So simple, but always reliable. I make these constantly because everyone in my house will actually eat them without complaints.
- Grandma’s Baked Mac and Cheese – This is the baked mac and cheese everyone hopes is at the potluck table! Creamy, cheesy, and absolutely worth making.
Thursday
- Main dish: Sheet Pan Bacon Egg Breakfast Hash – Breakfast for dinner just hits different sometimes. Everything cooks on one pan which means less cleanup and more time sitting down for once.
- Side Dish:
- Crispy Bacon in the Oven – This method is life changing if you haven’t tried it yet. No grease popping everywhere and the bacon comes out perfectly crispy every time!
- Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole – If you grew up loving the Cracker Barrel version, this is going to make you very happy. My kids would eat this straight from the pan if I let them.
Friday
- Main Dish: Firecracker Chicken Meatballs – These come together fast and the sauce is SO good. Sweet, spicy, and sticky.
- Side Dish:
- Cilantro Lime Rice – Bright, fresh flavor that balances the sweet heat from the meatballs perfectly. I could eat this rice all by itself!
- Side Salad with Creamy Italian Dressing – A quick side salad that feels a little extra thanks to the dressing. It tastes like the kind you get at a restaurant.
- Dessert – Peanut Butter Swirl Bars – If peanut butter and chocolate are your thing, these are dangerous. I always think they’ll last a few days and then somehow they disappear overnight.
Appetizer
- Mini Pigs in a Blanket – Perfect for after school snacks, movie nights, or feeding a bunch of hungry kids in approximately five seconds.
