Looking for some delicious weeknight meals your family will love? Have some picky eaters on your hands? These easy, budget-friendly recipes from my weekly meal plan are sure to please everyone in your family.

Produce and meat on a white back drop

This past week was filled with some delicious meals I made for my family, and I’m excited to share them with you. While I don’t own the rights to most of these, I will be linking the websites I found them at. Over on Pinterest, I pin all of my recipes so you have easy access to them if you’d like to pin them yourself. I will be sharing what we thought about each meal and if it will be a regular in our house or a flop that we will never mention again. Let’s get to it! Also, I am sharing a recipe with you that my family loves, so make sure to let me know what yours thinks. Even my kiddos gobbled it up!!

Monday- Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken

Sally’s Baking Addiction

I have made quite a few teriyaki recipes in my time as a home chef, but haven’t found one yet that was delicious enough to make again. Most of them are way too salty and not sweet enough. When I think of teriyaki, I want it to be sweet and something my kiddos will devour. Finally, I found one!!! We were pleasantly surprised by this, and how easy it was to make!! Head on over to Sally’s Baking Addiction to check out the recipe and give it a try yourself! I am all for easy and delicious, and this hit it right on the nose.

Tuesday- Balsamic Salmon

Good old’ Giada. Always bringing us some super fancy, boujee recipe that I hope my kiddos will enjoy. But every time it’s just a little too much for my young ones palettes and so I end up putting the cookbook away and never looking at it again (why do I even still have it?). This was yet, another flop. Although it was tasty to me, my kiddos both ended up eating chips for dinner because they didn’t enjoy my meal. And I was fine with it. I’m glad they are honest and tell me what they enjoy and what they don’t. The recipe for the meal is here if you’d like to take a peek. But if you have small children, I don’t recommend it.

Wednesday- Cheesy Spaghetti + Meatballs

This meal was a HIT! It was cheesy, full of protein and the noodles are so fun to eat. I am so excited to share it you, and make sure to let me know what your family thinks down below!

Thursday- Fourth of July BBQ

We had such a fun 4th of July BBQ, and enjoyed hosting for the first time. We had the basic hot dogs and hamburgers with a bunch of sides like potato salad and cupcakes! It was definitely a great spread.

Friday- Garlic Porkchops

This recipe was the best pork chops recipe I’ve EVER made. Made me think of my mom’s pork chops from when I was little. They were juicy, creamy and kiddo approved! Head on over to Kitchn for the recipe.

Weekend- Leftovers + Easy Meals

I always go into the weekend with the best intentions to cook a meal, but it usually never happens. We might eat leftovers or an easy meal like mac and cheese. I’d rather have it that way, to be honest. One less thing to be in charge of on the weekend. This time was no different.

There you have it, friends! A week full of amazing meals and one flop. I’d love to know which was your favorite and which you are excited to try next. I always pin my weekly recipes to my Pinterest board, linked above, so you can follow along there as well in real-time during the week. I am off to cook up a whole new week of tasty meals, so keep an eye out for more to come!
