Weekly Meal Plan #104

This week’s meal plan is all about easy dinners with big flavor and minimal cleanup. You’ve got juicy baked chicken thighs, creamy chicken Caesar pasta, tender Mongolian beef, sweet and savory air fryer salmon, and cheesy one-pan cheeseburger rice to finish out the week.

What’s for Dinner?

These dinners are easy, family-friendly, and full of flavor. Most are complete meals on their own, but you can always round things out with a simple side like garlic Brussels sprouts or 1-hour dinner rolls.

Monday: Baked Chicken Thighs

Tuesday: One Pan Chicken Caesar Pasta

Wednesday: Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef

Thursday: Brown Sugar Garlic Air Fryer Salmon

Friday: One Pan Cheeseburger Rice

Weekly Menu

I put out a new weekly meal plan every week, and you can always swap meals around if needed. If you’d like to get them each week without having to look for them, my newsletter is the best way.

Why is Meal Planning Helpful? 

Saves time: No more 5:00 panic. You already know what’s for dinner, what you need, and how long it’ll take.

Saves money: Shopping with a plan makes it easier to buy what you’ll actually use and stretch leftovers into another meal.

Less takeout: When dinner is planned and groceries are in the house, skipping the drive-thru gets a lot easier.

I made this as easy as possible by providing a FREE shopping list you can print to make shopping better and more economical.

Meal Planning with Leftovers

I only meal plan Monday-Friday because we sometimes have things going on over the weekend, or I have leftovers that we can have to finish off the week! If you do have leftovers, make sure to store them properly in an airtight container in your fridge.
