Family Meal Plan

– Week 357

*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 Meatballs – These feel a little different than the usual weeknight dinner in the best way. They’re hearty, full of flavor, and reheat beautifully so go ahead and plan on lunch being handled tomorrow.
• Side Dish:
  • Side Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette – If you’ve got five extra minutes, make the dressing from scratch. It’s worth it and you can use it again later in the week.
  • Roasted Vegetable Medley – This is one of those easy sides you can throw on a pan and forget about until dinner is ready. Simple and always solid.

Tuesday

• Main Dish: ​Fiesta Chicken Salad​ – When you want something lighter but still filling enough to keep everyone happy, this is the move. It’s fresh, colorful, and still feels like a real dinner.
• Side Dish:
  • Crockpot Refried Beans – Once you make these from scratch, it’s hard to go back to the canned version. They’re creamy and practically cook themselves.
  • ​Mexican Roasted Veggies – Add these to the plate or pile them right on top of the salad for extra flavor and color. They make everything better!

Wednesday

• Main Dish: Crockpot Beef Stroganoff – Let the slow cooker do the work today. You’ll come home to a rich, comforting dinner that tastes like you worked way harder than you actually did.
• Side Dish:
  • Roasted Broccoli – Crispy edges, simple seasoning, and it disappears fast every single time.
  • Cheesy Garlic Bread – This one always gets attention at the table. Golden, melty, and gone before you know it.

Thursday

• Main Dish: ​Mexican Shredded Beef Bowls​ – Everything cooks in the crockpot and you end up with enough for tonight and leftovers to stretch into the weekend. Dinner feels easy when it’s already done for you!
• Side Dish:
  • ​Mexican Rice​ or cauliflower rice – Spoon that slow cooked beef right over the top and dinner basically builds itself.
  • ​Jalapeno Ranch​ – We put this on everything. It adds just enough kick and makes the bowls extra fun.

Friday

• Main Dish: ​Creamy Chicken and Rice Casserole​ – This is your one dish, scoop it onto plates, and call it done kind of dinner. Creamy, filling, and always a crowd pleaser.
• Side Dish:
  • Bacon Broccoli Salad – A little sweet, a little salty, and just enough crunch to balance out the casserole.
  • Garlic Bread – Because no one complains when garlic bread shows up twice in one week.
• Dessert – Peanut Butter Swirl Bars​ – These have been on repeat for years for a reason. Soft peanut butter base with that perfect chocolate swirl running through every bite.

Appetizer

• Buffalo Chicken Dip – Hot, cheesy, and guaranteed to disappear fast. Set it out and watch everyone hover around it.
