Meal Plan for a Busy Week

Meal planning is a great way to ensure that you and your family are maintaining healthy eating habits while also making your nights easier in not having to come up with something for dinner spur-of-the-moment. Sparkle Markets and Megan are giving you another week of recipes the whole family will be sure to enjoy!

Monday

Pepperoncini Pot Roast

Your first day of the week just got easier with a slow cooker recipe. There’s nothing better than coming home after a long day to dinner already finished and ready to serve. This Pepperoncini Pot Roast will become a family favorite that will have everyone going back for seconds. Pair it with some mashed potatoes and green beans for a balanced meal.

Tuesday

One-Pot Baked Chicken and Rice

There’s nothing easier than a comforting meal that’s prepared and cooked all in one dish. This Chicken and Rice recipe is super easy to make and very filling after a long, busy day. Try pairing it with a salad for some extra veggies.

Wednesday

Tuna Noodle Casserole

We’ve got a new twist on an old favorite with Tuna Noodle Casserole. Casseroles are the perfect go-to for simplicity and they contain a complete, balanced meal all in one dish. This recipe is one the whole family will love, and can be customized to your tastes.

Thursday

Cuban Sliders

Who doesn’t love a good sandwich? And why not make it fun by making them mini! Cuban Sliders are a fan favorite and they use a lot of flavorful ingredients, including Hawaiian sweet rolls and pulled pork that you can get at Sparkle in the hot foods section.

Friday

Slow Cooker Shrimp Bisque

Friday means fish! And what better way to get a serving of seafood than with an amazing soup that’s perfect for a chilly night and done in the slow cooker (with some minimal prep on the stove beforehand). Slow Cooker Shrimp Bisque is a savory and tangy soup, full of all kinds of unique ingredients that any seafood-lover will go crazy for. Pair it with some toasted bread for a filling meal.

Saturday

Take the day off! You’re likely to have quite a few leftovers from the past few days, so enjoy a potluck dinner tonight.

Sunday

Lazy Lasagna

Lasagna is always a family favorite, especially during Sunday dinner, but it can be very time consuming to make it just right. Instead, try making Lazy Lasagna that uses ravioli instead of lasagna noodles and ricotta cheese. All of the same great flavors with less work!
