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 #13 includes Creamy Ham & Pea Pasta, Ranch Meatballs, Lemon Chicken Pasta, Spicy Chicken Corn Chowder, and Tostadas, with Easy Toffee Bars 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 Menu Plan #13

CREAMY HAM & PEA PASTA

Diced ham, peas, and pasta tossed in a light creamy sauce. So easy, so comforting.

RANCH MEATBALLS

These meatballs only call for 5 ingredients. Not only are they incredibly simple and delicious, they also happen to be gluten free. 

Serve them with cheesy Ranch Red Potatoes for a yummy meal that will have everyone asking for seconds.

TANGY LEMON CHICKEN PASTA

A zesty marinade gives this chicken so much flavor! Plan ahead, it does need to chill for several hours in the marinade.

Serve it with a fresh green salad for a complete meal. I like to grab a bagged salad to save time. There are so many tasty varieties out there!

SPICY CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER

A few shortcut ingredients make this creamy soup extra easy. It’s ready in 30 minutes, and has the perfect amount of heat to warm you up from heat to toe!

GROUND BEEF TOSTADAS

This was one of my favorite dinners growing up. The avocado salsa is so flavorful, so make sure you spoon it generously over the tostadas! My family likes flour tortillas, but for more traditional tostadas, use corn tortillas.

DESSERT FOR THE WEEK

EASY TOFFEE BARS

Melted Symphony chocolate bars on top of rich, buttery bars make this one heavenly treat. And they are ridiculously easy to make!
