Weekly Meal Plan #23

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 Meal Plan #23 includes Breakfast Sliders, Mexican Lasagna, BBQ Chicken Pizza, Cafe Rio Pork Salad, and Glazed Crock Pot Chicken, with Golden Graham S’more 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 Meal Plan #23

BREAKFAST SLIDERS

These hearty breakfast sandwiches can be prepped ahead of time, making dinner (or breakfast) a snap!

Serve them with watermelon or other fresh fruit for smiles all around the table. 

MEXICAN LASAGNA

I got this recipe from a cousin almost 30 years ago, and it’s always been a favorite. You use flour tortillas instead of noodles, so it tastes similar to enchiladas. 

I like to serve shredded lettuce on the side. 

BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA

Just like the pizza at your favorite pizza place, but made from the comfort of home. And you can customize your toppings -slice by slice if you need to! 😉

CAFE RIO PORK SALAD

I’ve served this sweet pork to more people than I can count. Everyone loves it!

Don’t forget the black beans, cilantro lime rice, and cilantro lime ranch dressing. So, so good. 

GLAZED CROCK POT CHICKEN

This easy sweet and slightly spicy chicken only takes about 5 minutes of prep. It’s great served over rice. 

Carrots and zucchini make a colorful and healthy side dish. 

DESSERT FOR THE WEEK

GOLDEN GRAHAM S’MORE BARS

All the flavors of s’mores in an ooey gooey no bake bar. So easy, so very yummy!
