Menu Plan Monday, Quick and Easy Dinners - Frugal Family Home

Menu Plan Monday, Quick and Easy Dinners - Frugal Family Home

It’s Monday again and time to get ready for the new week. Having a plan for dinner can help you avoid the stress of what to cook for dinner at 4 pm, when the kids are grumpy and hungry.

Menu plan with recipe links

This week we will be having a few skillet dinners, eating from the freezer and using the slow cooker too.

I’m using up leftover ham in the cheesy ham and potatoes dish that is quick and easy to make in the slow cooker.

I have a few stovetop or skillet dishes for this week too. The pan-fried pork chops are quick and easy to make. Flour the pork chops and fry in a pan. I only use a little oil so they don’t get greasy.

The mushroom chicken is so good. A creamy sauce with mushrooms and chicken over egg noodles. So good. If you like a cheesy taste, add a sharp cheese to the sauce too.

In the oven, we’ll be making a quick dinner on the sheet pan with sausage and vegetables. It’s a one-dish meal and so easy to prepare.

Also in the oven is our mini meatloaves. If your family doesn’t like regular meatloaf, give the mini meatloaves a try. My kids gobble them up

This whole wheat pancake recipe is easy to make and healthy too. It doesn’t contain eggs or oil. You can make it dairy free by using almond milk or another non dairy milk. It’s a great weekend breakfast but fast enough to be made on a weekday too. Even though these pancakes are made with whole wheat, they are light and fluffy. Come see what the secret is to making them fluffy instead of heavy and dense.
