Listen. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but winging dinner is a fuckin scam. If you’re anything like me, by 5pm you’re staring at your fridge like it owes you money, your kids are hangry, and you’re 45 seconds away from just handing everyone a spoon and a jar of peanut butter and saying fuck it.
So I sat my ass down and made a plan—one that feeds the chaos without making me lose my damn mind.
Here’s what’s for dinner in my house this week. Each one is quick, picky-eater-friendly, and designed to work even when you’re running on caffeine and vibes.
🗓️ This Week’s Dinners
🍗 Monday – BBQ Chicken Wraps
Rotisserie chicken. Tortillas. Shredded cheese. Toss it in BBQ sauce and call it a wrap (literally).
Serve with a side of baby carrots or pretzel sticks if you’re feeling fancy.
🍔 Tuesday – Sloppy Joe Sliders
Ground beef + ketchup + mustard + brown sugar. Pile it on slider buns and serve it with chips or pickles.
Bonus: leftover sloppy joe mix make a bomb addition to mac & cheese later in the week.
🌮 Wednesday – Lazy Girl Taco Bowls
Ground beef or turkey, taco seasoning, rice (or lettuce), cheese, and whatever toppings are left in the fridge.
Optional but encouraged: crushed chips and hot sauce.
🧀 Thursday – One-Pot Mac & Cheese + Broccoli
Elbow noodles + cheese + a bag of frozen broccoli = dinner. One pot. No dishes. Chef’s kiss.
Add some hot dogs or leftover sloppy joe mix if you need more protein.
🌭 Friday – Sheet Pan Sausage & Veggies
Slice up whatever smoked sausage and veggies you’ve got. Toss with olive oil + seasoning. Roast and forget it.
It’s giving lazy but still counts as cooking.
🍗 Saturday – Baked Chicken Tenders + Fries
Frozen or homemade—no judgment here. Bake ‘em up, throw some fries next to it, serve with ranch.
Pro tip: let them dip EVERYTHING. Makes it taste better apparently.
🍳 Sunday – Breakfast for Dinner
Scrambled eggs, toast, pancakes, fruit. Use what you’ve got and put it on a plate.
Because sometimes the only thing that feels manageable is pretending it’s still morning.
