One of the reasons I started this blog in the first place back in 2011 was because my youngest would only eat Chicken Dinos. I know you all can relate! It was only when I started having her shop with me to try a new food each week, help me prepare it and take a picture on a "special plate" that she started to embrace the notion of eating something else. Now she's 24 and a fantastic cook in her own right. See, there is light at the end of the tunnel! These kid-approved dinners are packed with familiar flavors, simple ingredients, and plenty of comfort. They're the kind of recipes that keep complaints to a minimum and seconds coming fast—making weeknights smoother for everyone at the table.   Caprese French Bread Pizza Pretzel Coated Chicken Nuggets Cheeseburger Sliders Velveeta Shells and Cheese Sloppy Joes Pizza Stuffed Baked Potatoes Taco Spaghetti Casserole Baked Caprese Chicken Meatballs Mini Corn Dogs Chicken Lo Mein  weekly meal plan #201 Gluten Free (gf); Dairy Free (df); Low Carb (lc) For serving suggestions, please visit our Recipe Index by Category.  Click on each title or image to get to the recipe where you can print or instantly add grocery items into your own Instacart account!  ➡️➡️Click here to Download Blank Weekly Meal Plan Monday, February 23 Balsamic Pork Chops  Tuesday, February 24 Fiesta Turkey Meatloaf Wednesday, February 25 Sheet Pan Chicken Sausage & Vegetables  Thursday, February 26 Balsamic Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs    Friday, February 27 Fettuccine Alfredo Saturday, February 28 Ground Chicken Parm Sliders Sunday, March 1 Beer Braised Short Ribs Dessert Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Muffins most popular recipe last week German Pork Schnitzel Schweineschnitzel or German Pork Schnitzel made with center cut boneless pork chops that have been pounded, breaded and fried. recipes found around the web Here are some other recipes I found this week that caught my eye.     1.
