Well hello there! I’m back again with some more receipe selections to take the argh! what do I cook for dinner!??? out of dinner time.
What’s that I hear? The sound of rumbling tummies? Well then, let’s not delay this any further then….
MONDAY
Cranberry roast chicken and sweet potatoes
This dish is so quick and tasty and has a lovely short ingredient list meaning you can get it ready in 10 minutes or under. And because it includes the sweet potatoes, you can literally serve it with a side of peas and ta-dah!
See the recipe here on the Ocean Spray website
TUESDAY
Oven baked cod with pesto crust
I am a huge pesto lover, mainly for the fact that it can turn any dish from hero to zero in an instant. It’s also a fab way of jazzing up a fish dish, much like this one. Serve with a side of sweet potato and butternut squash mash – delish – and for a family size serving simply double the quantities stated.

WEDNESDAY
Simple paella
For some reason, paella conjures up images of someone slaving over a massive paella pan for hours but actually it can be a really fuss free family meal to make. For fussy eaters, with this recipe you can either take out the prawns entirely, or swap with a more kiddy acceptable substitute like salmon or cod.

THURSDAY
Deluxe turkey burger
Turkey often gets overlooked other than Christmas but is well worth including in your weekly shop as it’s cost effective and a really healthy meat to consume. And yes – it can tend to get drive so one of the best ways to deliver turkey is in juicy burger form for a perfect mid week treat.
See the recipe on the Sainsbury’s website here
FRIDAY
Barbecue chicken
Prepare to lick your lips for a quick and delicious Friday treat…super easy to make, moist and full of lip smacking deliciousness, it can only be barbecue chicken. Serve with some home made sweet potato wedges and corn on the cob to top off that Southern-style feel.

SATURDAY
Slow cooker lasagna
Yes it’s the weekend again and it’s time to bust out the slow cooker. Getting this ready on a Saturday morning and letting the slow cooker do the rest of the work when you’re home in time for tea – you’ll be thanking your slow cooker forever!
See the recipe here on the Crock-Pot UK website
SUNDAY
Chicken & potato fricassee
Another quick dish to knock up and one that tastes like you’ve put a lot more work into it than you actually did thanks to the creaminess of it all! The perfect Sunday comfort dish.

Oh and if you missed the last round up you might want to pop over to my last family dinner post.

I am so fussy and as a result we usually stick to the same dinners ALL the time. I was so pleased when I read this post! Finally a dish that I’ve never cooked before that I think I would like! Chicken & potato fricassee is now on my meal plan for next week. Thank you!
So many lovely meal ideas! I am so going to make that cod with the pesto crust! I love cod but my husband always finds it a bit bland, the pesto crust looks delicious!
Lile the way the meals have different textures to them. Nice and colourfull too ♡
You’ve given me inspiration here. I’m stuck in a bit of a rut as far as meals go, and I’m very bored with it. These are lovely ideas, thank you.
Some gorgeous dishes and ideas for dinner, I love the look of the pesto crust on the fish, it’s just the type of thing I love to eat, will definitely give it a go.
Slow cooked lasagna sounds incredible! Well done you for sticking with it!
We’re just back from 10 days of full board holiday so I need to eat healthily and get back on track. Thanks for the ideas.
Oh I have never tried any of these dishes, they sound fab x
A lovely meal plan I’m definitely going to steal some ideas for our meal plan.
I think I might try the Oven baked cod with pesto crust today. I booked marked this because I’m genuinely always on google searching things like “What to make for dinner healthy”.
These all seem so yummy especially the pesto cod crust
All these meals sound nice and tasty. I would never had thought of slow cooked lasagna!! I must check that out 🙂
I could eat the paella everyday if I could, plus the cod sounds nice too. Very healthy indeed 🙂
We are terrible for having the same meals on the same nights every week, I really need to mix it up. I do fancy the Cranberry roast chicken and sweet potatoes
Sounds like a fab selection of meals, I didn’t know you could do lasagne in the slow cooker x
Love getting fishy ideas am not great for it
My husband and I worked through your last week of healthy dinners and they were delicious so I can’t wait to get started on this list! xxx #coolmumclub
Looks yummy. My children are currently joining forces to reject anything they used to love, specifically cheese and potatoes 🙁 #coolmumclub
I’m always running out of meal ideas, I’m definitely going to give the slow cooker lasagne a go! #coolmumclub
Thank for the great reciepes #coolmumclub
Oo what a delicious week of meals – lots of inspiration thank you 🙂 #coolmumclub

The cod sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing, always on the lookout for meal inspiration #coolmumclub
This all sounds so good! I love paella and really need to make it more often.
#coolmumclub
Love, love, love paella! I used to have the most amazing paella pan but it gave up the ghost when a handle fell off. We make it in a wok now. Apparently paella was originally made with rabbit – who knew? x #coolmumclub
Hmmm…some great inspo here! Pinned to the #coolmumclub cooks board for later referral! Nice one lovely – can you pop over and whip it up for me too? 😉
#coolmumclub
There are certainly some mouth watering food suggestions here even for the fussy eater. #coolmumclub
Some mouth water recipes here. It’s always so hard planning and preparing healthy meals during the week. I often just stick to the same meals every week (It’s just so much easier). This is a great plan to use, will definitely try to use it.
Thanks for all the lovely comments everyone – would love to know how you get on with making these! Xoxo
I love checking out new recipe ideas, it is so easy to get stuck in a rut sometimes. Thanks for sharing. #coolmumclub
Loads of great healthy ideas here. So tired of eating the same thing all the time so I’ll definitely be pinning this and trying some out xx #coolmumclub
I’ve never gotten into Paella – even in Spain but I do like the sound of that cod in the pesto crust! #coolmumclub
