A graphic for the weekly meal plan with pictures.

Welcome to another week of menu plan ideas for your family! I’ll be honest… our weekdays have been so busy after school, that I think I cooked dinner at home once last week. It was not the best week but I am determined to do better this time around. Fingers crossed 😃

Let’s get into this weeks dinner ideas. Again, choose a few of these recipes or do all of them. I always tell people to make your daily dinner plan depending on how busy that day is – if you’ll be gone all day, do a slow cooker dinner. If there is no possible way you can cook then plan on getting take-out that night. Write out the daily plan, schedule a grocery pickup and add all the ingredients to it, and then print out the recipes so they’re ready to go.

MONDAY

RAVIOLI BAKE

This easy ravioli casserole is always a favorite with only a few easy ingredients.

TUESDAY

EASY ORANGE CHICKEN

This is a one pan meal with chunks of chicken that simmer in a sweet orange sauce. I love buying some frozen egg rolls and baking those up in the air fryer. Serve the orange chicken over white rice.
