Meal Plans Made Simple #5
It’s Friday!!! Finally. Oh! And Happy Valentine's Day! I actually do not feel like meal planning anything today. I'd kinda just like some chocolate and wine. But I guess my family will probably get hungry and so I should probably be prepared. Just in case. Here are a few fantastic ideas that'll maybe get you out of your dinner rut or make meal time a little more simple.
MONDAY
Chicken Taco Soup - The NY Melrose Family-lets start the week off right!
TUESDAY
Crispy Orange Chicken Quinoa Bowls - Sugar Dish Me - Sweet and spicy honey orange sriracha sauce. I think that explains it.
WEDNESDAY
Spaghetti al Limone -Cooking with Curls-Sometimes it’s the simplest recipes that are the best!
THURSDAY
Grilled Artichoke, Chicken and Bacon Pizza - Dinners, Dishes and Desserts-Every part of this pizza screams delicious!
FRIDAY
Sloppy Joe Oven Baked Tacos-Kitchen Meets Girl- Tacos and Sloppy Joes got married. It was great.
SATURDAY
Phyllo Chicken Pot Pie - Taste Love and Nourish- A lightened up version of a cozy family favorite. As beautiful as it is tasty!
SUNDAY
Crispy Quinoa Power Greens Salad and Smoky Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette - Eats Well With Others- That dressing is soooooo amazing.
NEVER SKIP DESSERT!
Chocolate Cherry Pie Bundles - Lemons for Lulu- These pies are so easy! (I'll give you a hint: the dough is made of crescent rolls!

Hi Diane! Of course that's fine! As long as there is a link back to the original and you re-write the directions in your own words 🙂 Also keep in mind that the meal plans are a collaboration between myself and another blogger (Lemons for Lulu) and we pull the content from our own blogs but also from friends who have given permission -- that said, those posts are some of my favorites for inspiration! Glad you enjoyed it and so glad you're here!
This looks absolutely yummy! I pinned it to try it this week. I'm a horrible cook, but your tagline, "if you can read, you can cook" is keeping me hopeful!
These are some great recipes! I most definitely will be trying a few as they fit our current diet. Thanks! Visiting from #SITSblogging
Everything looks soooo yummy, especially the taco soup. Thanks for sharing! Stopping by from SITS girls
Hi Ebony! Thanks so much!
Everyone just looks so delicious! Especially love the look and sound of those chicken filo pot pies! 🙂
Love those pot pies! Thanks Jessica!
This all looks amazing!! I've never gotten quinoa to come out well, so I don't know what exactly I'm doing wrong. Maybe I need to try your recipe. Found you via SITS!
Definitely try it! Cooking quinoa is pretty much like cooking rice 🙂 And once you pair it with something you really dig there's no going back. Glad you're here Gabby!
Fantastic tips thanks for that!
Thanks Dina!
Mmm ... so many delicious sounding recipes! Meal planning is a pain, but definitely worth it. Stopping by from your SITS Girls Tribe.
Thanks Ginnie! We put these ideas up every week - I wish I could say I followed the plan a little better lol but I fail at that. This definitely helps me stay creative with dinner though!
Yum - this amazing. Love this meal planning concept.
Stopping by from SITS Girls. And now I am following you on Pinterest!
Thanks Erica!!!
Yum! I am pinning that taco soup--it looks amazing!
Thanks Erin!
As always love the menu this week! Although I am getting some weird eye rolls when it comes to quinoa. Suggestions? And these are not little kid eye rolls! Lol!
hahaha. I get the weird quinoa eye rolls too. Just make rice. You can never fail with rice. I love jasmine rice - a tiny bit sticky, a little bit sweet, complements the spice 🙂
This looks so delicious!

These all look amazing. I am pinning them all. Tonight, I am going ot go easy with dinner and make breakfast for dinner, heart-shaped everything to make it special.
Stopping by with comment love from the SITS girls!
I love breakfast for dinner! Thanks for the pins, Ida!
I hadn't thought about Sloppy Joes as tacos, what a great idea! We've fallen in to a pizza and pasta rut, so thanks for the new ideas!
I love pizza and pasta! But yeah, so easy to fall in a dinner rut -- glad you found some things you might like!
