To make this weeks meal plan even easier, print this shopping list before heading to the store. Make sure to shop your pantry first as you may already have the majority of these ingredients.

Thursday – Chicken Risotto

This Easy Chicken Risotto Recipe is a delicious one-pot recipe that cooks easily on the stovetop. This is a family favorite dinner idea.

Friday – Air Fryer Ham

Air Fryer Ham is a delicious way to cook your holiday ham. It cooks tender, and juicy and is bursting with flavor because of the delicious homemade glaze. For a complete meal, make this Cheesy Potato Casserole to serve with the ham.

A glazed air fryer ham with a few slices cut is displayed on a white platter. The ham is garnished with parsley and accompanied by a bowl of broccoli in the background.

Topping the ham with the brown sugar glaze makes the ham taste even better. It is made with simple ingredients that can be changed to what you prefer.

Homemade Granola Bars are easy to make. They taste so much better than any kind you buy at the store. You will feel good about serving these to your family.

All you need is 2 ingredients which makes it perfect for potlucks or holiday dinners. It is so moist and so easy that any child can make it.

We make meal planning even easier by using the Lazy Day Cooking Club. You will love this club because we show you how to spend about 2 minutes throwing dinner in the slow cooker in the morning and it is ready when you return home.

Easy Side Dish Recipes

Ways to Use Leftovers

  • Mississippi Pot Roast – We love to use the leftover to make a pot pie. Top the pot pie with KFC Biscuits for a delicious meal idea.
  • Salsa Chicken – This chicken can be used for many meals. We love to make Chicken Quesadilla Recipe, Oven Nachos and Green Chicken Enchiladas.
  • Chicken Caesar – Use the leftover chicken caesar filling and make a quick lunch the next day without the wrap for a low carb option.
  • Air Fryer Ham – Anytime we have leftover sliced ham, my kids love for me to make Ham Omelets the next day.
