Weekly meal plan: Honey Mustard Chicken at Every Last Bite Steam up some veggies while this Honey Mustard Chicken at Every Last Bite simmers on the stove. We dare our kids not to like the sweet, tangy sauce on this dish. Weekly meal plan: Spaghetti and Meat Sauce at Sweet Phi This Spaghetti and Meat Sauce at Sweet Phi is so easy and kid friendly. And bonus: if you're stuck at the last minute you can make it in the Instant Pot.

Weekly meal plan: Slow Cooker Short Ribs at Kitchen Sanctuary This Slow Cooker Short Ribs recipe at Kitchen Sanctuary looks so rich and decadent, but there's almost no work since it cooks all day in the slow cooker. It's a real treat after a busy day. Weekly meal plan: Sausage & Potato Beer Cheese Soup at Midwest Foodie My family loves our weekly soup and grilled cheese night, and this Sausage and Potato Beer Cheese Soup at Midwest Foodie looks amazing. In fact, it's so loaded with ingredients I could skip the grilled cheese. Think the kids will notice? Weekly meal plan: Chipotle Tacos at Original Dish OK, I'm not going to lie: I don't see my kids putting pomegranate seeds on their tacos. But I think this Chipotle and Pomegranate Braised Chicken Tacos recipe at The Original Dish looks amazing. Kids, if you're feeling picky, go ahead and eat them plain. It's your loss.
