April Feasts: Simple, Satisfying, and Family-Approved!

With our family plan this month we made it up with simple dinners but also kid friendly meal ideas that we love. I have one very picky kid and she enjoys most of these dishes. My kids love when we have theme nights and I’m not complaining because it makes planning easier. This month we added a new theme to our meal plan. Our themes are:

• Mondays are Breakfast nights. These are simple meals to pair with eggs and fruit to make it a full meal.
• Tuesdays are Taco Tuesday inspired meals. These are my favorite nights in my house.
• (New) Copycat Thursdays. We are on a budget so no eating out for us. This month we decided to try to make some of our favorites at home.
• Wednesdays are our leftover nights. If we don’t have any leftovers it becomes a kid’s choice and they pick whatever they want but it has to be what we already have at home.
• Fridays are busy nights for our family so we let the crockpot do the cooking while we’re at hockey.
