Weekly Menu, January 30 – February 5

Time for this week’s dinner ideas! This week I made a mix of new recipes and family favorites for some super tasty meals.

Our weekly menu will give you some good dinner ideas!

I tried some new recipes early on in the week and finished with family favorites for a good mix of meals. We ended the week with a super fun, simple dessert that the whole family loves.

Here’s a quick review of our weekly dinners: 

Monday: Split Pea Soup

Tuesday: Crispy Air Fryer Chicken

Wednesday: Leftovers

Thursday: Ground Beef Taquitos

Friday: Ordered Pizza

Saturday: Family Date Night

Sunday: Red Beans and Rice

Sunday Dessert: Air Fryer Donuts

Split Pea Soup

My kids mostly hated this soup…probably because it looked a little like green oatmeal. My oldest politely ate it, but the other two flat out refused to eat it. So….not a win. It was good, but not amazing. For sure won’t repeat it. Can’t win them all!

Crispy Air Fryer Chicken

I had planned to make grilled chicken skewers, but we had a freeze this week so I didn’t get a chance to go to the store (or order groceries) so I had no skewers. I had already defrosted the chicken thighs, so I found this recipe and it was simple and super flavorful and delicious. All the boys loved it! I served it with white rice.

Ground Beef Taquitos

I made these tasty little ground beef taquitos for dinner, and although they certainly didn’t roll up super nicely like the frozen ones I ate as a kid, they were delicious and everyone loved them. I actually didn’t have any corn tortillas, so I made my own using THIS RECIPE— super easy and way better than store-bought!

Red Beans and Rice

This is Philip’s favorite meal — super simple and easy to toss in the crockpot before church on Sunday. I use smoked sausage, and always add it during the last hour so it doesn’t get mushy. I also decrease the amount of creole seasoning by A LOT so my kids will actually eat it.

Air Fryer Donuts

We made these a few years ago and they were so simple and delicious. We filled them with cream and jam, added Nutella and maple glaze, and made all sorts of fun combinations.
