Weekly Meal Plan -170

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: – Honey Sesame Chicken– My kids asked me to make this 2 times in a row because we enjoyed it just that much. It is simple and so, so delicious.
• Side Dish:
  • Rice– My pick is jasmine, but long grain white or brown will work too. You can also sub a cauliflower rice to keep the dish lighter.
  • Roasted Green Beans– You can make the classic version or the asian version to pair well with this dish.
  • Yum Yum Sauce or Spicy Mayo sauce– We love all the sauces at our house, and this one pairs exceptionally well with these! My kids do the yum yum and I do the spicy mayo.

TUESDAY

• Main Dish: Crock Pot Pork Carnitas– I love to make this into bowls the first night and then use leftovers for enchiladas later in the week.
• Side Dish:
  • Cilantro Lime Rice– Just like Chipotle!
  • Black Beans– My favorite trick for making canned beans taste amazing.
  • Toppings–
    • homemade blender salsa
    • Sour cream
    • shredded lettuce
    • Corn salsa
    • cheese
    • guacamole

WEDNESDAY

• Main Dish: Chicken Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Baked Potatoes– These are SO delicious and made super quick and easy for a busy evening using our Instant Pot Baked Potato method to cook them! Stuff them all or let the family pick what they want on their potato.
