Welcome to this week’s Dinner Divas Weekly Meal Plan! Once again, we’ve got an eclectic menu for y’all to enjoy next week, and we are really getting into the fall flavors… because certainly, the season is about to change. (Right? It has to…)

What is the weekly meal plan?

In case you’re new around these parts, I share a new menu here every Friday morning. It will always include FIVE dinner options and TWO extras, curated by me and my friends, who make up the Dinner Divas. Our dinner options feature (mostly) healthy, seasonal foods that don’t take all day to prepare because nobody has time for that. 😉 And the extras we share can be side dishes, desserts, drinks, etc.

We hope this weekly menu helps you create your shopping list and prepare for the week ahead, as well as provide inspiration. And hey, if it makes your life a little easier, too, we’re thrilled to help! 

Y’all ready for this?

Dinner Divas Weekly Meal Plan (September 23-27, 2019)

Looking for food inspiration for next week's menu? Look no farther than the Dinner Divas weekly meal plan, a comprehensive plan that includes FIVE dinners, an appetizer and a breakfast treat.

Monday's Dinner: Roasted Black Bean Tacos

Meatless Monday is in effect with these flavorful Roasted Black Bean Tacos! Switch up your taco game by serving this variety of deliciousness to the fam (and maybe friends, too, if you're up for it.)

Have you ever had a Black Bean Taco before? If so, what did you think?

Either way, you're gonna love this recipe from Comfortably Domestic.

Tuesday's Dinner: Mom-Style Macaroni Salad

Not going to lie: I'm obsessed with this Mom-Style Macaroni Salad from Pastry Chef Online because it hits on my love for macaroni salad, but also, it adds in TUNA!

Did your mom make a macaroni salad like this when you were growing up? Mine didn't, but I sure cannot wait for a helping of this goodness next week!

Wednesday's Dinner: Turkey Sausage Jambalaya

Jambalaya, to me, is normally a weekend dish because it's great for sharing and perfect to enjoy while watching a football game (#geaux), but if you plan ahead, it can also be an amazing weeknight meal!

Calling for turkey sausage, this slight twist on the Cajun classic is delicious and packed with flavor the whole family will enjoy!

Thursday's Dinner: One Pan Chicken Sausage

Now that I have two kids, I finally get the one pan dinner thing. (I know--it took me a while, huh?) Pook's Pantry brings us a delightful One Pan Chicken Sausage meal for Thursday, packed with veggies and sausage.

How do you feel about one pan dinners? Are you going to make this one next week? I sure am!

Friday's Dinner: Prosciutto Broccolini Pizza

Friday night is PIZZA night, and I'll be honest: I love the twist this Prosciutto Broccolini Pizza offers. Prosciutto and broccolini sit atop dough with cheese... what's not to love?

Do you like different varieties of pizza like this, or are you a more traditional pizza lover?

Appetizer Option: Spicy Queso Dip for a Crowd

Spice up gameday with a SPICY Queso for a crowd! This cheese dip is perfect for sharing and adds some heat to a traditionally neutral appetizer. Do you like your queso with some heat?

Breakfast Option: Mini Pumpkin Muffins with Chocolate Chips

When I tell you that these Mini Pumpkin Muffins with Chocolate Chips have never made it two days in our house, you should know that means they're reaaaaaaaaally good. They're also bite-sized and not packed with as much sugar as some other muffins, which makes them perfect for the kiddos. Whether you plan on making them for a group or for breakfast one weekend, they're an amazing fall treat.
