A weekly meal plan fit for a family, with a yummy pasta dish, an easy beef stir fry, a delicious lemon chicken dish, a mouthwatering cinnamon scroll recipe and so much more!
There has been a slight chill in the air this week, and that has me turning to some hearty and delicious dinner ideas like carbonara pasta, lemon chicken and my zucchini slice recipe. I also have been craving my super easy and oh so delicious cinnamon scrolls. I have tried to include a variety of protein options for my meals this week, with a salmon main, beef and some chicken options. Read on below for some dinner inspiration for your family’s meal plan for the week.

MONDAY
Salmon Quinoa Fritters – salmon is one of my favourite types of fish, plus it is a good source of Omega-3 and protein. Combined with all the nutrients in quinoa, these are almost super fritters! Serve with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.

TUESDAY
Italian Lemon Chicken – this is a fresh and zingy meal that is quite quick to prepare and cook. I just love the tang of the lemon, works so well in combination with the other strong flavours of the olives and fetta.

WEDNESDAY
Sesame Beef and Vegetable Stirfry – this dinner is one you can easily tweak to include what vegetables you prefer in a stirfry. I like to load mine up with as many veggies as I can, I tend to throw in anything in my fridge that will work.

THURSDAY
Fettuccine Carbonara – Whilst traditional carbonara recipes use eggs and don’t call for cream, this recipe below is great short-cut for those nights you just want to prepare dinner quickly. The addition of cream makes this meal so hearty and delicious, even if it is a bit more naughty!

FRIDAY
DINNER OUT – We’re going out to grab a meal as a family together on Friday, so no cooking required!
SATURDAY
Miso Chicken and Noodle Salad – this is a Matt Moran recipe and it tastes as amazing as it looks. This is a great meal to make if you’re having people over as it is bound to impress.

SUNDAY
Zucchini and Vegetable Slice– a family favourite dish that is always enjoyed by everyone. When I make it, I often make two batches, one for dinner that night with a salad, and a second one to slice up and pop in the freezer. The slice is a great school and work lunch option.

BAKING
Cinnamon Scrolls – I always crave my cinnamon scrolls when the weather is a little bit cold or rainy. They are the perfect treat to have with a cup of coffee and to pop into lunch boxes. Because the dough recipe doesn’t use yeast, they are so easy to make.
