WEEKLY FAMILY MEAL PLAN #136

This 7 day family meal plan has been kindly contributed by one of our community members, and has some delicious meal suggestions. Including recipes for chicken burgers, a salad, sweet and sour pork and more!

When I read through this meal plan contributed by our lovely community member Suezanne, I mentally added every dinner idea to my own meal plans for the coming weeks. I find hearing about what other families have on their meal plans so inspiring, and I love getting new ideas. Suezanne says that her family tries to incorporate one or two meat free nights every week. On Sundays they have a roast for dinner or something similar, so that they can have sliced meat through the week for sandwich fillings for lunches.

MONDAY

Chicken Burgers with Sweet Potato Fries – Home-made burgers is so much cheaper and healthier than grabbing takeaway, and sweet potato fries are more nutritious than regular potato fries.

TUESDAY

Gnocchi with Pumpkin and Spinach – Suezanne is making ricotta gnocchi with pumpkin, spinach and pine nuts for dinner on Tuesday. I love a good gnocchi dish, I have been making my creamy beef gnocchi recipe a lot lately.

THURSDAY

Rainbow Veggie Skewers and Three Bean Salad – This is a meat free dinner for Suezanne’s family this week. The combination of bean salad with the skewers would be delicious and filling!

FRIDAY

Sweet and Sour Pork –  Sweet and sour pork is another recipe that is always a hit with kids for dinner. Sometimes I find the sauces for sweet and sour pork too sweet. This simpler recipe seems like it would have a milder flavour.

SATURDAY

Mexican Bowls – I never get tired of Mexican food and it is always a hit with the family. This recipe sounds yummy and quite easy to prepare.

SUNDAY

Corned Beef and Vegetables – Suezanne is cooking up corned beef for Sunday night dinner so she also has lunch meat throughout the week. Corned Beef and Silverside seem to be interchangeable terms here in Australia, though I believe they are meant to be different cuts of meat. Whatever you like to call it, I call it delicious!

BAKING

Apricot Yoghurt Muffins – There’s wasn’t any baking listed on Suezanne’s meal plan, so I have included one of my favourit muffin recipes for you.
