Struggling to come up with dinner ideas to feed your family? These free weekly meal plans are here to take the stress away. Each printable menu comes with 5 main dishes, 2 or 3 side dishes, and a dessert.
In addition, I’m including a grocery list that includes every ingredient you’ll need. Menu planning just got a lot easier!
Weekly Menu Plan #31 includes Diner Style Pancakes, Pigs in a Blanket, Chicken Fajita Quesadillas, Mashed Potato Bar, and Taco Cabbage Skillet, with Oreo Ice Cream Dessert for dessert.
WHY USE A WEEKLY MEAL PLAN?
- ELIMINATE INDECISION – I can’t tell you how much time I used to waste scouring through cookbooks trying to decide what to make for dinner, sometimes at the last minute. Having a menu plan already decided every week is such a time saver!
- SAVE TIME – Having a complete grocery list all typed up saves all those last minute trips to the store because you’re missing a key ingredient.
- HINDER IMPULSE BUYS – Planning ahead and having a menu plan also helps save money on all those impulse buys on emergency trips to the store. Tell me we’re not the only ones that end up buying junk food on those “quick trips”.
- EAT HEALTHIER – I’ve found that when I don’t have a weekly menu plan in place, we end up eating out much more often. The cost of those meals adds up quickly, especially when you have a large family. Not to mention it’s not usually the healthiest option!
- LESS WASTE – In addition, when you have a grocery list customized to your menu, you don’t end up buying a bunch of ingredients that end up in the trash.
If you want to create your own menu plan, you can always print out a blank menu plan with grocery list and use any recipes you like.
Weekly Meal Plan #31
DINER STYLE PANCAKES
I like to top these pancakes with whipped cream and fresh berries, but you can use syrup if you prefer.
Serve them alongside crispy bacon or breakfast sausage.
HOMEMADE PIGS IN A BLANKET
A simple homemade dough makes these pigs in a blanket simply irresistible.
I like to serve them with frozen french fries and watermelon.
CHICKEN FAJITA QUESADILLAS
These tasty chicken quesadillas are far from boring! Loaded with chicken, cheese, and veggies, they are hearty and delicious.
MASHED POTATO BAR
Just like a baked potato bar, but with mashed potatoes instead. Make sure to buy whatever toppings your family loves!
TACO CABBAGE RECIPE
Even my kids love this easy skillet meal. You can’t go wrong adding taco flavor to just about anything!
DESSERT FOR THE WEEK
OREO ICE CREAM DESSERT
Ridiculously easy, this Oreo dessert is always a show stopper. I like to drizzle it with homemade hot fudge sauce, but you can use store bought.
