Hello friends!
Back with another weekly dinner menu for ya. These posts are helping me stay in track, so this is a win/win for everyone. I hope that you find something new here.
Weekly Meal Plan
Monday: Lemon lentil curry with jasmine rice. This dish comes together very fast and I can never get enough of curry. My oldest loves it, but my youngest is hit or miss. I am just happy that she continues to try it.
Tuesday: Enchiladas and Mexican rice. This is one of my personal favorite dinners, though my kids are iffy with it usually. I don’t let that stop me. They will usually eat most rice and corn, but sometimes will try a little. Exposure is good and I don’t want to shy away from things that my husband and I love.
Also just a side note: On nights that my kids don’t like the dinner served or don’t eat as well, I always let them have a little something before bed. It is pretty plain, like maybe a piece of toast with PB or a PB&J or even dry cereal and a cup of soy milk. I don’t want them to go to bed hungry, so this works for us.
Wednesday: Tomato lentil soup is a family favorite. I’ll serve with a side of garlic bread or grilled cheese, whatever they are in the mood for.
Thursday: Pancakes for dinner. My kids love breakfast for dinner, so I am gonna surprise them with some chocolate chip pancakes. I make them with oat/chickpea flour and soy milk, so they are protein-packed. This is the recipe.
Friday: Fun Friday dinner! We have really been enjoying Daring breaded “chicken” wings. I put out a few sauces, like maple mustard, BBQ, and ketchup (of course). Bake on a sheet pan with some frozen fries and that is a very easy, very fun, very Friday dinner. Just dig in and dip away. Sometimes I make a side salad or another veg on the side but sometimes, we just enjoy the tenders and fries.
Have a beautiful week, my friend. x
