Family Meal Plan
Week 396
*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: Crockpot Sirloin Tip Roast – This is a great way to start the week! Toss it in the crockpot in the morning and dinner is basically done. And the best part is you can save the extra for Wednesday to make a totally different meal!
- Side Dish:
- Brown Butter Broccoli – If you’re looking to keep your sides light, this broccoli is perfect.
- Easy Mashed Potatoes – You have to serve your roast with mashed potatoes and make the gravy!
Tuesday
- Main Dish: Chicken Vegetable Stir Fry – Faster than takeout, and perfect for a quick night or a fridge clean up!! Just throw in whatever veggies you have, and dinner is done in no time!
- Side Dish:
- Yum Yum Sauce or Spicy Mayo – Drizzle either one over your stir fry and rice. The Yum Yum is creamy and mild, and the Spicy Mayo is for anyone who likes a little kick. I’d make both and let everyone choose.
- Stick of Butter Rice – Made with simple pantry staples, this buttery rice is unbelievably easy and disappears so fast.
Wednesday
- Main Dish: Loaded Baked Potatoes – You can transform Monday’s leftovers and have a mouthwatering, stuffed, cheesy baked potato!
- Side Dish:
- Garlic Roasted Vegetables – These are the best vegetables EVER!
- Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup – A cozy bowl of soup next to a loaded potato is hard to beat on a chilly night. It’s rich, creamy, and the kind of comfort food everyone goes back for.
Thursday
- Main Dish: Taco Rice Skillet – This is a one pan dinner, which means almost no dishes. Everything cooks together in one skillet, and it’s a great way to get taco night on the table without all the fuss.
- Side Dish:
- Tableside Guacamole – Fresh, quick, and so much better than anything from a store. Make it right before dinner and watch it vanish!!
- Black Bean and Corn Salsa – Scoop it up with chips or spoon it right over your skillet. It takes just minutes to stir together.
Friday
- Main Dish: Crockpot Turkey Chili – Hearty, cozy, and a little lighter than the usual beef chili. Let the crockpot do all the work and come home to a house that smells amazing!
- Side Dish:
- Buttermilk Cornbread – The most perfect complement to a piping hot bowl of chili!
- Side salad with Ranch dressing – This is soo much better than store bought! If you haven’t tried my 5-minute homemade ranch yet, this is the perfect excuse.
- Dessert – Peanut Butter Swirl Bars – Rich, peanut buttery, and easy to make ahead. A pan of these never lasts long.
Appetizer
- Crockpot Onion Dip – Have a party or just want something to scoop and go over the weekend? This is the recipe you’re looking for and couldn’t be easier.
