Family Meal Plan
– Week 359
*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: Sheet Pan Lasagna – I kept seeing this everywhere and finally decided to make my own version. It is easier than traditional lasagna and still gives you all those classic layers everyone loves.
- Side Dish:
- Side Salad with Creamy Italian Dressing – A simple fresh salad to balance out the pasta night. That homemade dressing pulls it all together and is worth the few extra minutes.
- Garlic Bread – Because lasagna night without garlic bread just feels wrong. It will be gone fast!
Tuesday
- Main Dish: Pork Tenderloin with Garlic Sauce – This one feels a little fancy but is completely doable on a weeknight. The garlic sauce makes it flavorful without being complicated.
- Side Dish:
- Extra Creamy Homemade Mashed Potatoes – Soft, fluffy, and exactly what you want under that sauce. Comfort food done right.
- Roasted Green Beans – Simple, dependable, and a great way to round out the plate.
Wednesday
- Main Dish: Mexican Street Corn Chicken – This dinner feels fun in the middle of the week! Big flavor, easy prep, and something a little different from the usual rotation.
- Side Dish:
- Chips with Salsa or Guacamole – Set these out and dinner instantly feels more relaxed.
- Sautéed onions and peppers – Add them on top of the chicken or serve them on the side. Either way they bring extra flavor and color to the table.
Thursday
- Main Dish: Mediterranean Meatball Bowls – Bowls are always a win because everyone can build their own. These are fresh, filling, and great for switching things up.
- Side Dish:
- Mediterranean Chickpea Salad – Bright and flavorful with just the right amount of crunch. It pairs perfectly with the meatballs.
- Lemon Rice – Light and fresh with enough flavor to hold its own in the bowl.
Friday
- Main dish: Italian Sausage Tortellini Skillet – This one is always a family favorite. It all cooks in one pan and happens to be packed with veggies that somehow go unnoticed. That feels like a win. 😉
- Side Dish:
- Garlic Parmesan Roasted Broccoli – Roasting it with garlic and parmesan makes all the difference. Even the broccoli skeptics usually go back for more.
- Caprese – Fresh, simple, and perfect either as a side or set out before dinner while everyone gathers in the kitchen.
- Dessert – Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies – Warm, gooey, and gone almost as soon as they cool. You might want to hide a couple for yourself.
Appetizer
- Mini Pigs in a Blanket – Perfect for after school snacking or setting out on the weekend. Put out a few dipping options and watch them disappear.
