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: ​Big Mac Sliders​ – Forget about grabbing fast food! These are so much better.
• Side Dish:
  • ​Potato Wedges​ – Like peanut butter and jelly, these potato wedges will be perfect with your sliders.
  • Side salad – I like to use mixed greens, add a sprinkle of mozzarella, tomatoes, and my ​homemade ranch dressing​. You can also add in whatever veggies you have on hand.

Tuesday

• Main Dish: ​Creamy Sun Dried Tomato and Basil Chicken​ – Just 20 minutes for a delicious, family-friendly dinner and this is a one pan meal!
• Side Dish:
  • Side Salad with ​Lemon Vinaigrette​ – the dressing is SO GOOD!
  • ​Roasted Asparagus​ – My favorite way to make asparagus.
  • Pasta – spaghetti, penne, angel hair, any will work!

Wednesday

• Main Dish: ​Mexican Shredded Beef Bowls​ – This Mexican meal can be made just using your crockpot! You’re going to have enough for tonight *AND* for Friday!
• Side Dish:
  • ​Mexican Rice​ or cauliflower rice – top your rice with the shredded beef that’s been cooking all day.
  • Toppings – Sour cream, shredded lettuce, ​pico de gallo​, black olives, ​guacamole​, etc
  • ​Jalapeno Ranch​ – This is my kids FAVORITE and it tastes amazing over top bowls.

Thursday

• Main Dish: ​Creamy Chicken and Rice Casserole​ – If you want a one dish meal that’s delicious, creamy and everyone will devour – this is it!
• Side Dish:
  • ​Garlic Parmesan Broccoli​ – This recipe is super simple and our favorite way to eat broccoli.
  • ​Perfect Oven Roasted Vegetables​ – There is no better way to eat your veggies.

Friday

• Main Dish: ​Mexican Beef Tacos​ – Using leftovers from Wednesday, your beef has been marinating and will make the most delicious tacos.
• Side Dish:
  • ​Black Beans​ – My favorite trick for making canned beans taste amazing.
  • ​Cilantro Lime Pasta Salad​ – The cilantro and lime make this an amazing side dish with your Mexican beef. You can also make this ahead to save time!
• Dessert – ​Peanut Butter Swirl Bars​ – We have been making these for seriously my whole life! They have a tender light peanut butter bar with the perfect swirl of rich chocolate throughout.

Appetizer

• ​Marinated Mozzarella​ – This is a family favorite! It’s a simple appetizer and always a big hit.
