A Slice of Our Week: Sunday Meal Planning Ideas 01.17.21

January 17, 2021 By Jessica Leave a Comment

Welcome to my weekly series: Sunday Meal Prep Planning Ideas! I hope my recipes inspire you to get cookin’ and eat a more colorful plate.

I’m really excited to get things started (drum roll, please). Here are some comforting dinner ideas for the week of 01.17.21 – 01.23.21!

MEAL PLANNING IDEAS YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE:

Take a gander at my menu below to get some inspiration on what you should whip up for your family this week! I can’t wait to see what you make, please tag me on Instagram so I can follow along.

Meal Planning Ideas

Sunday Supper:

I absolutely love this Roasted Pork Loin with Apples and Fingerling Potatoes. Leftovers taste fabulous inside a sandwich or wrap with a drizzle of my Alabama White Sauce. Hooray for easy lunch ideas!

Meal Planning Ideas

Meatless Monday:

Is there anything more addicting than a Mac and Cheese Recipe topped with Flaming Hot Cheetos? Talk about the best of both worlds! The blog post is geared around plant-based ground but feel free to substitute with ground sirloin if you’re a meat eater. Oh, or even pulled pork! I might have to try that and write up a spin-off blog.

Creamy Mac and Cheese

Tasty Tuesday:

Bust out your slow-cooker and let it do the work for you! Serve these BBQ Hawaiian Meatballs on their own over a bed of rice (or cauliflower rice for low carb). You could also incorporate them into a deliciously cheesy slider recipe! The blog post lists both methods for your feasting pleasure.

Wacky Wednesday:

Can’t decide if you like green or red sauce for your fiesta evening? Get through your hump day with these Verde + Roja Mexican Enchiladas. Serve them with a side of beans, Spanish rice and a side of chips with salsa.

Toasty Thursday:

We took a stab at Air Fryer Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwiches and will (seriously) never turn back. Drizzle them with blue cheese and enjoy alongside a small salad to make the meal complete.

Free-For-All Friday:

Today’s the perfect day to express your love for these Mediterranean-Style Fully Loaded French Fries. I mean, how can you go wrong with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce, Whipped Feta, ripe tomatoes, creamy chickpeas, crunchy romaine, briney capers and fresh Italian parsley? Insert a drool emoji, right here.

Loaded French Fries

Sassy Salad Saturday:

I’m a fan of big salads all year round. Cobb Salad with Super Creamy Italian Dressing is definitely a favorite. I typically use rotisserie chicken as the protein, but you can easily swap that out with grilled steak, shrimp or salmon.

Italian Herb Dressing

Happy cooking, friends! This week is fully loaded with satisfying flavors of the season… and I’m totally thrilled to have you try them!
