Here's what to feed your people next week
with printable recipes & grocery list
Do you know what question I am genuinely, deeply, cosmically tired of answering?
What’s for dinner?
I’ve been feeding people in this house for eighteen years. EIGHTEEN. And yet somehow, every day, the question arrives fresh and new, as if dinner has never occurred before in the history of our family
So here’s what changed everything: on Sunday mornings, before anyone else is awake and I have roughly 22 minutes of silence, I plan the whole week. Every dinner. Done. Decided. And when someone asks “what’s for dinner?” I have an answer at the ready.
This week’s meal plan comes straight from reader favorites from The Simplified Cookbook — these are the recipes I actually make for my actual family, the ones that pass the picky-husband test and the teenager test and the “I’m hungry at 4pm and I already ate a snack but I’m still going to make this your problem” test.
The full recipes are below the plan, and the grocery list is at the very bottom, organized and ready to print. Go forth. Feed your people.
This Week’s Dinner Plan
Monday - Egg Roll Bowls
Tuesday - White Chicken Enchiladas
Wednesday - Meatloaf Cupcakes
Thursday - Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
Friday - Easy Shrimp Boil
If you make any of these this week, come tell me in the comments. Especially if your family goes completely feral over the meatloaf cupcakes, because they will. All of these recipes — plus a whole lot more — are in The Simplified Cookbook.

Ooh I already made my plan for the week before I saw this, but it’s all from your cookbook!
Jambalaya, foil packets, sheet pan chicken and broccoli, seafood boil, and pimiento cheese spread. Last week we had chicken salad, white chicken enchiladas, Sunday breakfast casserole (for dinner) and my mom’s tuna casserole.
I think we’d all starve without your cookbook. ♥️
Thank you bunches!! I'm setting this up to make the week we get back from Spring Break!!
