A visual menu of what we’ll be eating for dinner each night this week, including links to each recipe with multiple photos for each dish.
My first menu plan post the arrival of baby number four. If there was ever a time that a menu plan is going to make my life easier, it’s definitely now! I actually made dinner for the first time on Thursday last week and lived to tell about it. Here’s hoping that with a plan in place, we’ll be back in our regular routine. Well, as much as can be expected with a newborn and attempting to fix dinner during the witching hour. Needless to say, easy is the name of the game this week!

Here’s what we’ll be eating this week:
Meatless Monday: Slow Cooker Lentil and Brown Rice Tacos. A delicious and easy meal to begin our week. Taco night for the win!
I’ve selected Monday as a night of the week for our family to eat a meatless meal as it tends to be more budget friendly as well as a friendlier option for the environment. My meat and potato eating husband tends to go along with this idea because I also make him a yummy dessert in addition to his meatless meal. What can I say? I’m nice like that!
Tuesday: Bridge Brunch Casserole. Both of the big girls mentioned this recipe earlier this week so it’ll be a breakfast for dinner meal this week! It’s perfect as I can put it together in the morning and then put it in the fridge until I’m ready to bake it at dinner time. This is also a perfect Easter breakfast idea!
Wednesday: Easy Sloppy Joes. With easy in the title of this recipe, it was destined for this week’s menu! It also is one of our favorites and paired with a salad or fries, it’s the perfect weeknight meal.
Thursday: Quick and Easy Ravioli and Spinach Lasagna. The only lasagna recipe that I make as it means lasagna on a weeknight is totally possible.
Friday: Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches. Another great full of flavor sandwich idea to end the week with.
