Meal Plan #50

Dinner shouldn’t feel like a daily battle – but between busy nights, trying to please all tastes and the rising cost of groceries, it often does. That’s why meal planning is such a game-changer. With just a little bit of prep, you get a week’s worth of dinners sorted – no staring at the fridge at 5pm, no last-minute takeaway splurge. This week’s plan has something for every mood: cosy One-pan Chicken and Broccoli Lasagne, fun Big Mac Tacos (because sometimes you just need tacos), a quick and Creamy Garlic Chicken, and Korean Beef Rice Bowls that make midweek feel exciting again. Add in Baked Greek Chicken, a Crispy Potato-Topped Beef “Pie”, and an Authentic Fettuccine Alfredo, and you’ve got a full line-up of dinners that are easy, budget-friendly, and guaranteed to keep the whole family happy.

You can find all of these recipes here, as well as in my new book Simple Dinners Every Day which is filled with 100+ recipes designed to make our lives easier and available now! Click here to secure your copy.
