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 #30 includes Smoked Sausage Fried Rice, Ground Beef Enchiladas, Poppy Seed Chicken, Dill Pickle Pasta Salad, Skillet Lasagna, with Monster Cookies 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 #30
SMOKED SAUSAGE FRIED RICE
My family loves this tasty twist on traditional ham fried rice. It’s such a flavorful and easy meal!
GROUND BEEF ENCHILADAS
With both hamburger and black beans, these tasty enchiladas are extra hearty. I like to serve them with shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.
POPPY SEED CHICKEN
Chunks of chicken in a creamy sauce, topped with a crunchy cracker topping. Comfort food at its finest!
Serve it with sesame green beans or your favorite green veggies.
DILL PICKLE PASTA SALAD
Loaded with pickles and chunks of cheese, this hearty pasta salad makes a perfect light dinner on hot summer days.
Pair it with fresh fruit or brussel sprout salad to finish off the meal.
SKILLET LASAGNA
All the flavors of lasagna, but half the work. And as a bonus, it’s made on the stovetop, so you don’t need to heat up your oven!
Complete the meal with a simple green salad.
DESSERT FOR THE WEEK
MONSTER COOKIES
These cookies are my husband’s favorite. With oatmeal, chocolate chips, peanut butter, and M&M’s, you can see why!
