7-Day Family Meal Plan: Weekly Menu Ideas & Grocery List

Each Weekly Menu Plan brings together satisfying dinner recipes, side dishes and a few desserts to inspire your meals and make weeknight cooking easier—one recipe at a time.

Welcome to this week’s menu plan. I love putting these together because they always make me hungry and I hope they give you fresh ideas and simplify meal prep. The goal is to inspire your taste buds and help your week run a little smoother.

Highlights this week include the ever-popular Ritz Cracker Chicken—a reliable favorite—and a hearty minestrone that’s perfect if you’re craving soup. Friends have asked me to bring the minestrone to dinner more than once, and it even wins over people who think they don’t like minestrone.

We also love breakfast for dinner here. The Breakfast Burrito Skillet Meal delivers all the flavors of a breakfast burrito without needing a tortilla (use one if you prefer). With St. Patrick’s Day approaching, I included the heavenly mint brownie pie as a festive dessert—rich, minty, and indulgent.

Have a wonderful weekend—stay warm and dry. I’d love to hear what you make, so if you share on Instagram please tag @jodi_lud_5boysbaker.
