I’m changing up the content of my weekly meal plan posts to allow me to share other finds, feelings and favorites with you during the week. Moving forward, every weekly meal plan release will contain the recipes I’m loving for the week, a quick description of each, along with kid tips and how to make some of the recipes keto friendly AND BONUS – what I’m planning for lunch that week. The meal plan (and grocery list) will be released on Saturday mornings along with a re-cap from the prior week. Let’s go!
Last Week’s Favorites – Snag last week’s meal plan HERE.
Meal Plan 2/21 – 2/26 – All about family friendly recipes with a healthy twist!
Sunday, February 21st | Caramelized Onion Smash Burgers with Garlic Aioli and the BEST way to cook Frozen Fries | Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes (onions take awhile) | Sometimes a burger and fries are just what you and your family need. Side note – your kids can skip the onions and add their favorite toppings. Make the caramelized onions ahead of time. Meal Prep – double the onions to add to your salads this week!
Monday, February 22nd | Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Roasted Garlic Parmesan Carrots | Total Time: Can you ever have too much cheese? I think not. Both of these recipes will satisfy the kids and the adults in your house. Meal Prep – double the chicken and top over lettuce for an easy & healthy work lunch or to put in kids lunchboxes for the week. Keto Tip – sub almond flour or crushed pork rinds for the breadcrumbs!
Tuesday, February 23rd | Mini Italian-Style Meatloaf Sheet Pan | Total Time: 1 hour | Six hand shaped meatloaf patties cook alongside broccoli and potatoes for a one and done weeknight dinner! Keto Tip – use my favorite unsweetened ketchup by Primal Kitchen found at most grocery stores. Most of the time is spent in the oven!
Wednesday, February 24th | Creamy Garlic Roasted Red Pepper Pasta | Total Time: 35 minutes | Slightly sweet and charred, this roasted red pepper sauce will quickly become your go-to alternative to a marinara. And it tastes good on everything. Add chicken, shrimp or any other protein to bulk it up. Kid Tip – pour over spaghetti noodles and add some cooked from frozen meatballs. I will use heavy cream instead of almond milk and regular butter to thicken.
Thursday, February 25th | Baked BBQ Drumsticks with Side Salad | Total Time: 65 minutes | My kids are suckers for a drumstick baked in bbq sauce – me too if I’m being honest. Serve with a side salad and call it a night. You will probably need to double this recipe. Keto Tip – use a low sugar bbq sauce! Meal Prep: triple for an easy weekend lunch!
Friday, February 26th |Cheesy Zucchini Chicken and Rice Bake | Total Time: 55 minutes| One pot, orzo, cheese, everything bagel spice and hidden veggies – sounds like the perfect way to end a long week.
