Menu Plan Monday, Family Picks

Happy Monday to you! It’s the start of a new week and time to plan our meals too. I know meal planning can be hard but once you have a system down it’s not so bad.

If you need a few ideas for this week’s meal plan, scroll down to see what’s cooking at our house this week.

Menu plan with recipe links

This week I’ll be making a couple of new family favorites, glazed pork chops and easy sesame chicken. Both of these recipes are easy to make and our family loves them.

My daughter requested enchilada shells and chili cornbread for dinner this week.

My son wanted mini calzones, so those are on the menu too.

We will be having all of those dinner this week. It’s really nice to have the kids help me pick out ideas for our meals. 

If you are having a hard time coming up with ideas for your meal plan, try asking your family what they would like to have for dinner. When everyone in the family picks a meal to make, it’s easy to fill the meal plan for the week. 

I know each person in our family thinks of something different so it helps us to have more variety in our meal plans. 

Hopefully you can get your family to help with the meal planning too. Although sometimes I do get, “I don’t know” for an answer.

Breakfast

This whole wheat pancake recipe is easy to make and healthy too. It doesn’t contain eggs or oil. You can make it dairy free by using almond milk or another non dairy milk. It’s a great weekend breakfast but fast enough to be made on a weekday too. Even though these pancakes are made with whole wheat, they are light and fluffy. Come see what the secret is to making them fluffy instead of heavy and dense.
