Easy Weekly Meal Plan #38 – Family Dinners & Recipes for the Week
What’s Cooking This Week?
Ditch dinnertime dilemmas with our refreshed Weeknight Meal Guide 38. Five crave-worthy dinners, minimal prep, and one streamlined shopping list—just chop, marinate, and cook. Ready, set, savor!
Cheesy Asparagus Stuffed Chicken
We’ve tweaked this classic by steaming asparagus spears for one minute before stuffing—guaranteeing bright color and crisp-tender bites inside each chicken pocket. A sprinkle of smoked paprika in the breadcrumb topping adds a subtle kick.
Garlic Chicken Stir Fry
This weeknight favorite gets a brightness boost from a splash of rice vinegar at the end and a high-heat sear on your veggies to seal in crispness. Feel free to swap in snap peas or shiitake mushrooms for variety.
Sweet and Sour Pork
We thicken the signature sauce with a cornstarch slurry whisked in last minute, creating a glossy coat on each pork cube. Feel free to roast pineapple chunks alongside for caramelized sweetness.
French Onion Pot Roast
After searing the roast for deep color, transfer to a slow cooker layered with sweet caramelized onions. Finish under the broiler for 3–4 minutes to crisp the top, then spoon that onion-rich gravy over every slice.
Honey Garlic Dijon Broiled Salmon
We brush on a second coat of glaze halfway through broiling to intensify flavor and achieve that caramelized finish. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh chives and lemon zest before serving.
How Many Does It Feed?
Our five dinners each serve 4–6 people, so you’ll have just enough for the entire family (and maybe some tasty leftovers!).

Special Tip
Double up on caramelized onions when making the pot roast—freeze half in an airtight container. You’ll have gourmet-quality base for soups, pizzas or future roasts in minutes!
