A visual weekly family friendly menu including five weeknight meals, a breakfast and dessert idea. Each featured recipe includes multiple photos for each dish.

Here’s what’s on our family meal plan this week:
Meatless Monday: Cherry Tomato and Tortellini Soup. One of our favorite soups that comes together in just minutes! It also is an easy meal to take to friends and one that I take to share with teachers at our school during conferences. It’s always a hit!
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: Slow Cooker Honey Sriracha Chicken Tacos. Taco Tuesday just got even easier – and tastier!
Wednesday: Five Bean Turkey Chili. I love that the cooler weather means comfort food and this chili definitely fits the bill.
Thursday: Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic. Garlic lovers, unite! How amazing does this sound?!
Friday: Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta. Sometimes all you need in life is a big bowl of pasta to be happy and this is definitely an autumn version of happiness.
Breakfast: Caramel Apple Coffee Cake Cheesecake. A perfect make ahead breakfast or brunch idea and a decadently delicious way to begin your way.
Dessert: Cherry Cheesecake Brownies. A mashup of two of my favorite desserts in one. You won’t hear me complain!
