Each week, I aim to inspire you with a variety of yummy recipes in my weekly meal plans that are quick, easy to make, and delicious, so that the whole family will enjoy them. Be inspired by some of the meals in this week’s Family Meal Plan, because they have been inspired by you!!!
Dinner time is a meal that a family can get together, have a chat and catch up on the day. So often you get run down from a hard day and by the time dinner comes around, you are in a panicked state, stressing about what to cook for the evening meal. I aim for my weekly meal plans to help make this process easier for you each night and make feeding your family so much simpler. I asked the community recently what they were cooking for dinner and this inspired me to add a few of your ideas for this week’s weekly family meal plan.

TUESDAY
Thai Chicken Salad – Mmmm nothing like a good Thai Chicken Salad. This one came up a few times from the community. I really like this recipe because the colours of the vegetables are so vibrant and it oozes a healthy dinner appeal. Nice and light, with exactly the right amount of everything, plus it’s a really yummy version. I usually make a double batch of it to have for lunch the next day.
