I put this weekly meal plan together to make your week easier. Five simple, family-friendly dinners to save time, reduce stress, and make dinnertime feel doable again.
What’s on the Weekly Meal Plan Menu?
Meal plans are a total lifesaver! They take the stress out of dinner by giving you delicious recipes to follow all week. If you meal plan, you’ll save time, try new recipes, and always have something yummy ready to go. This week’s meals are cozy, budget-friendly, and great for lunch the next day!
- Monday: Honey Mustard Pork Chops
- Tuesday: Better than Takeout Chicken Fried Rice
- Wednesday: Frito Chili Pie
- Thursday: Chicken Pot Pie Pasta
- Friday: Slow Cooker Barbacoa Beef

How Many Does it Feed?
This weekly meal plan includes five dinners that each serve 4–6 people, depending on whether you’re feeding adults, kids, or a mix of both.
Why Should I Meal Plan?
Meal planning isn’t just about what’s for dinner. I do it to make life smoother and more enjoyable. Here’s why it works for me:
- Less Stress: When I have the groceries in my fridge and know what I’m making for dinner, my day is so much less stressful!
- More Variety: Planning ahead means you can mix things up and try new recipes. It gets you out of your dinner rut.
- Family Time: Getting my family involved in cooking turns dinner into something we do together, from making the meal to cleaning it up.
Side Dishes for Dinner
My weekly meal plans always include a printable shopping list that is measured out and ready to go. It makes things so easy!
Storing Leftovers for Meal Planning
I only meal plan Monday-Friday because we sometimes have plans over the weekend, or I have leftovers to finish off the week! If you do have leftovers, make sure to store them properly in an airtight container in your fridge.
