Easy Dinner Ideas Meal Plan
It’s Monday again and time to plan our menus. If you don’t have your meal plan ready yet, I hope ours can help you come up with a few easy dinner ideas.
This week’s menu plan is mainly skillet or grilling dinners. We’ve been having a few warmer days and that makes me plan less oven meals and more skillet or grilling dinners.
We are trying a new to us recipe for honey garlic shrimp. My son spotted it when we were surfing Pinterest. He loves shrimp and asked if we could give it a try. Shrimp isn’t something we eat very often since it’s a little spendy but every once in a while won’t hurt.
I’m hoping to be able to grill the pizza this week but if it’s not warm enough, we’ll settle for cooking it in the oven. When we make pizza in the wood fired grill it has a nice smokey flavor to it. So very good!

I followed you here from I’m an Organizing Junkie. Sometimes we really need easy dinners, right? This is one of those weeks for me. In fact, that’s going to be the case for the next couple of weeks because we have a LOT going on. This week I’ll only be cooking the first three days of the week because we have other dinner plans Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Theoretically I could cook Sunday but I have a feeling I’ll be wiped out by then – ha!
Here is my menu for the week (albeit, fairly short): https://lifewithdee.com/menu-monday-may-15-2017/
Have a beautiful week!
Easy dinners are so nice to have on busy weeks. I’ll come over and see your menu plan too. Thanks for stopping by!
My family loves shrimp too, but I don’t buy it too often because of the price. I was able to get some for $5.99/lb. this past weekend, so we’re having shrimp fajitas one night this week.
Hope you have a great week!
Shrimp fajitas sound yummy! I hope you have a great week too.
