Meal Plan — Week 57

Monday

​Chicken Spaghetti with Rotel – Let’s start the week with something creamy, cheesy, and easy! Use leftover cooked chicken, and the spaghetti cooks right in the sauce—one less pot to wash makes Monday a little happier.

Side Dish:

• Air Fryer Garlic Bread – Buttery, garlicky, and crisp around the edges. Save a piece for scooping up that creamy spaghetti sauce!
• Air Fryer Frozen Broccoli – Grab a bag from the freezer and give it a little garlic-and-Parmesan treatment. Such an easy way to get something green on the table!

Tuesday

​Cracker Barrel Meatloaf – Bring those restaurant comfort-food cravings home! Tender meatloaf with a sweet, tangy glaze makes a dinner everyone can dig into—and any leftovers deserve a sandwich tomorrow.

Side Dish:

• Instant Pot Garlic Mashed Potatoes – Fluffy, buttery mashed potatoes belong next to meatloaf. These cook right in the Instant Pot, with no heavy pot of water to drain!
• Air Fryer Frozen Asparagus – Straight from the freezer to a simple, garlicky side. Let the air fryer handle these while you finish the potatoes.

Wednesday

​Shish Tawook – Give chicken night a little excitement with juicy, yogurt-marinated skewers! Mix the marinade the night before, then bake or grill when dinner rolls around.

Side Dish:

• Instant Pot Basmati Rice – Fluffy rice makes the perfect landing spot for those flavorful chicken skewers. A simple side that earns its place on the plate!
• Tabouli Salad – Fresh parsley, tomatoes, and plenty of lemon bring a bright little lift to dinner. Make it ahead so you have one less thing to chop tonight!

Thursday

Baked Fish with Creamy Lemon Sauce – This is the dinner to keep in your back pocket for a busy evening. Tender, flaky fish and a lemon cream sauce that will have everyone asking for another spoonful!

Side Dish:

• Homemade Rice a Roni – Buttery toasted noodles and fluffy, seasoned rice—this homemade favorite might have you skipping the box from now on!
• Smashed Broccoli – Broccoli gets a crispy Parmesan makeover! Those golden, cheesy edges might tempt you to eat a few straight off the pan.

Friday

​Sloppy Joe Pizza – Sloppy Joes meet pizza night, and I’m very happy about this friendship! A tangy beef topping and plenty of melty cheese make a fun way to finish the week.

Sude Dush:

• Fruit Salad with Honey Lime Dressing – A colorful bowl of juicy fruit makes pizza night feel a little fresher. That honey-lime dressing is reason enough to sneak another spoonful!

Desserts

​​Apple Crisp Bars – Cinnamon apples, buttery shortbread, and a crumbly oat topping—all the cozy apple-dessert goodness in a grab-and-go square.
