This week’s meal plan is warm and hearty, and I’m confident they will be a hit with everyone in the family. My favorite is the chicken parmesan because it only takes 20 minutes to prepare, and the air fryer makes it a much healthier option without sacrificing any taste.
What’s For Dinner?
This week takes you on a tour around the world! Start off with a Mexican-inspired tortilla soup, then head over to France for the most flavorful Boursin pork chops. Then, it’s on to Italy for some chicken tetrazzini and chicken parmesan! End your world tour with my Asian-inspired Beijing beef! Don’t forget dessert and sides.

How Many Does It Feed?
This free weekly meal plan is just what you need to get your week started. It provides five meals that will feed 4-6 (depending on if you are feeding adults or kids), AND it includes a shopping list! With new ideas and easy-to-make recipes, having a weekly menu plan will be a lifesaver.
Why Should I Meal Plan?
If you haven’t tried planning your meals ahead of time, this is going to change your life! Here’s why I swear by meal planning:
- Time Saver: No more 4:00 PM panic about dinner. With a menu plan, you know exactly what’s on the menu, what you need, and how long it takes to cook.
- Money Saver: Meal planning works wonders for your wallet. When you organize your weekly shopping list, you’ll easily spot opportunities to buy in bulk and creatively repurpose leftovers for future meals. You won’t be wandering aimlessly through the grocery store, unsure of what to buy.
- Bye-Bye Takeout: When your dinners are planned ahead of time and groceries are stocked, you’re less likely to hit the drive-thru. Because you are cooking at home, that means more savings and healthier eating. Win-win!

Storing Leftovers for Meal Planning
I only meal plan Monday-Friday because we sometimes have plans over the weekend, or I have leftovers that we can have to finish off the week! If you have leftovers, store them properly in an airtight container in your fridge.
