We had a fun week with the inauguration last week, but we’re back to our regularly scheduled meal plan! This week has a slew of recipes that are a perfect way to get you through until it can be the weekend again!
MONDAY
Starting the week off strong will pulled pork. A popular meat in our house, pork is always a hit. I know, I know, it’s very Wisconsin of me, but I love a good slow cooker recipe, especially on a Monday. That way, I know a hot and delicious meal is ready for the family when I get home from work. Both of these recipes are great slow cooker options that offer two different flavor profiles to enjoy.
Option 1: Slow cooker Texas pulled pork
Option 2: Cranberry maple pulled pork
TUESDAY
Taco Tuesday calls for Mexican flavors galore! Crusting a chicken breast in tortilla adds excellent texture and a delicious bite. But if you’d prefer a more traditional taco, head straight to super easy chicken fajitas – all made on one sheet pan and so easy to prepare.
Option 1: Tortilla crusted chicken breast
Option 2: Sheet pan chicken fajitas
WEDNESDAY
Both meals are made in one pot, of sorts; one pot or a slow cooker, which is why I love both of these recipes for a mid-week meal. Spaghetti bolognese is a favorite in our house because it’s super easy and the kids love it! Well, the whole family loves it!
Option 1: One pot spaghetti bolognese
Option 2: Slow cooker chili
THURSDAY
Enjoy some leftovers today!
FRIDAY
Red snapper isn’t a fish I cook all that often, but I couldn’t pass up this Jamaican curried red snapper recipe. It’s a quick, healthy dinner that’s packed with flavor and great for any day of the week.
Option 1: Jamaican curried red snapper
Option 2: Grilled red snapper
SATURDAY
Top butt or tri-tip, that is today’s question? Both of these recipes back flavor the way I like it. So, do you opt for Asian or Indian flavors tonight? You can’t really go wrong!
Option 1: Citrus ginger teriyaki steak
Option 2: Sheet pan Indian beef cauliflower
SUNDAY
Sunday’s are a great day for wings. And this week, enjoy the pro-bowl while testing out a variety of flavors. The bourbon bbq chicken wing is a crowd favorite, but we also included general wing cooking instructions in case you’re not too confident cooking them at home.
Option 1: Chicken hot wing cooking instructions
Option 2: Bourbon bbq chicken wing
