Menu Plan Monday, Quick and Easy Dinners
It’s Monday again and time to get ready for the new week. Having a plan for dinner can help you avoid the stress of what to cook for dinner at 4 pm, when the kids are grumpy and hungry.
This week on our meal plan, a few skillet dinners, eating from the freezer and using the slow cooker too.
I’m using up leftover ham from Easter in the cheesy ham and potatoes dish that is quick and easy to make in the slow cooker.
I have a few stovetop or skillet dishes for this week too. The pan-fried pork chops are quick and easy to make. Flour the pork chops and fry in a pan. I only use a little oil so they don’t get greasy.
The mushroom chicken is so good. A creamy sauce with mushrooms and chicken over egg noodles. So good. If you like a cheesy taste, add a sharp cheese to the sauce too.
In the oven, we’ll be making a quick dinner on the sheet pan with sausage and vegetables. It’s a one-dish meal and so easy to prepare.
Also in the oven is our mini meatloaves. If your family doesn’t like regular meatloaf, give the mini meatloaves a try. My kids gobble them up

Your menu looks delicious, Shelly. 🙂 We’re trying out a new way of eating so almost all of our meals are meatless this week. The exception is when we’ll have lunch out on Friday when we have to drive to Chicago for David’s clinic appointment. David’s getting an infusion, so it’ll be a long appointment.
I hope you have a great week, and a Happy Easter, Shelly!
I was just working on our menu plan for next month and I’m going to be making a few meatless meals for us too. I have some recipes I really like but I haven’t made them in a while, so it will be a nice change.
I hope David’s appointment goes well for him. We will be praying. Hope you all have a great week and a Happy Easter too!
Link on Cheesy Ham and Potatoes is not correct…it’s going to the sausage skillet recipe.
Lydia, Thanks for letting me know about the incorrect link. It fixed. 🙂
I’m making mostly family favorites this week…we have a couple nights where we either have to have dinner quickly because there is church that evening, or an afternoon when we’ll be out and I have to get dinner ready fast when I get home, otherwise I’ll have a group of hungry people on my hands! Breakfast for dinner usually works well on those nights 🙂
Your menu sounds great, as usual!
Family favorites are always good to make, no complaining at dinner that way. 🙂
