These weekly recipes will have you full and happy all week long! I’ve found great weekly recipes that are healthy, tasty, and perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. Your whole family will enjoy these recipes!
Weekly Recipes
What exactly are weekly recipes? I suppose this term has 2 meanings. The one where someone posts a recipe weekly (I’ll hopefully be there at some point) and recipes you eat all week. The latter is what I mean here. Meal planning, shopping for a couple specific recipes, and then meal prepping these weekly meal ideas is a great way to save money and ensure your family is well fed.
Recipes For Weekly Meal Prep
These recipes should be fairly simple especially if you’re new to meal prepping. And if you’ve never meal prepped before, it is easy! All you have to do is essentially make all the food at once, let it cool, and then portion it out for the week. Or leave it in tubs and portion it out later. Either way, all of these weekly recipes are perfect for just that!
And we have recipes for everyone! Whether you’re meal prepping a weekly recipe for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even dessert, I’ve found a great list of recipes to help you out!
Deliciously Easy Breakfast Weekly Recipes
1. Simple Savory Breakfast Sandwich Breakfast Recipe
Y’all, these homemade breakfast sandwiches used to be my favorite! That is when I used to be able to digest cheese. Eggs, veggies, bacon, English muffin, everything someone needs to start their day. This is a great weekly recipe because you can make a ton of these and freeze them!
2. Yummy Breakfast Burrito Breakfast Recipe
Breakfast burritos are so good and you’ll love this breakfast burrito recipe. It’s so simple. Add eggs, cheese, sausage, and I usually add potatoes and some veggies too. Wrap it, seal the tortilla on a skillet, let it cool off and then freeze it! My husband ate so many of these when he had to take food to work.
3. Super Easy Egg Muffin Breakfast Recipe
These egg muffins are great and easy to make. Eggs, veggies, cheese, and meat are really all you need. But you can change it up anyway you want so your family will like it. It’s some of the easiest meal prep too, just need a muffin pan!

Oats are great for you! Good for the heart, lower cholesterol, and make you regular. These are perfect for breakfast. Add all your favorite fruits like bananas, blueberries, strawberries, apples, or coconut. You could even add sweets into your baked oatmeal cups like chocolate chips.

Muffins are also great for breakfast. You can grab them and go, perfect for busy mornings. And muffins are so versatile. You can add chocolate chips, fruit, nuts, seasoning like cinnamon.

Cut these sheet pan pancakes up, put them in the freezer and reheat them! Add chocolate, strawberries, blueberries, banana, or whatever your favorite flavors are. These are especially great with kids and would be a fun family meal prep time.
Filling And Tasty Lunch Weekly Recipes
7. Easy and Yummy Tuna Pasta Salad Lunch Recipe
Tuna pasta salad is one of the easiest and cheapest lunches you can make. It’s so good as well, especially during the hot summer months. Macaroni noodles, mayo, sour cream, hard boiled eggs, celery (or pickles) so good. Best part is, you can make a big batch!
8. Delicious Loaded Chicken Salad Lunch Recipe
This chicken salad recipe is my favorite, mainly because it doesn’t have grapes or walnuts. I’m not a fan of that. What I am a fan of is this loaded chicken salad. Chicken, mayo, celery, cheese, sour cream, chives, and bacon. So so good.
9. DIY English Muffin Mini Pizza Lunch Recipe
Love pizza? Then make your own with English muffin mini pizzas. Most English Muffins come in a 6 pack, which means you can make 12 pizzas. The best part is, you can make them as unique as you want. Pepperoni pizza, cheese pizza, sausage pizza, mushroom and spinach pizza, put all your favorite toppings on them!
10. Easy and Classy Charcuterie Board Lunch Recipe
Brie, gouda, crackers, cucumbers, grapes, and meat…. nothing is better than a charcuterie board and now you can have it for lunch. The best part is, you can eat this all week!
11. Sweet and Spicy Honey Sriracha Glazed Meatballs and Rice Lunch Recipe
Know what else is great for a weekly recipe? Meatballs! These honey sriracha glazed meatballs and rice are amazing. The green onions and sesame seeds are a great touch. Plus the limes and carrots really pull it together!

Y’all, I love quiche. I could literally eat it everyday. And the best part is, most are the size of a pie so you will have leftovers for the rest of the week! Spinach, garlic, onions, really anything! Great way to clean out the extra veggies from the fridge too!
Hearty and Amazing Dinner Weekly Recipes Your Family Will Love
13. Meaty Garden Spaghetti Dinner Recipe
Need a hearty dinner? Then this meaty garden spaghetti recipe is perfect! Especially if you want leftovers. Which is great, because I am not good at making a small batch of spaghetti, I always seem to make enough to feed an army. The best part is though, this spaghetti sauce is jammed pack with fresh veggies! Yum!
14. Deliciously Hearty Chili Dinner Recipe
If your family loves chili then this chili recipe is for you. Chili is great in large batches and you can fix it up anyway you want. I used to eat it with sour cream, crushed crackers on top, and cheese. Now I just eat it with crackers. Put it on a hot dog! Add ranch! The possibilities are endless.
15. A Simple and Healthy Chicken Noodle Soup Dinner Recipe
Nothing beats a bowl of chicken noodle soup with some bread and even maybe a salad. It’s easy to make, cheap, and a big pot can last a few days to a week. Plus, it’s not heavy and won’t feel like a brick in the stomach afterwards, which is nice.
16. Easy One Sheet Sausage, Potatoes, and Tomatoes Recipe
This is my favorite lunch recipe or even dinner. I always add leeks to mine as well, because I like them. But this is easy to make, you can make a whole sheet of it which is at least 5 portions if you by the sausage links rather than ground sausage. This sheet pan Italian sausage, potatoes, and tomatoes is just so good.
17. Amazingly Simple Pork Roast Dinner Recipe
Y’all! This is my favorite pork roast recipe! I make every other month. It’s tender, fall apart good, and can be used all week.
NOTES: I do not cut off the fat and I do not add soup mix to mine, but you can. The meat needs to be slow cooked at least 8 hours and if you want a tender pork roast, the internal temperature MUST be 195F (or close).
You can eat this as is, with gravy, as BBQ, in sandwiches, on top of baked potatoes, etc.
18. Scrumptious Mini Meat Loaf Dinner Recipe
Meatloaf is so underrated and I think that’s because most people don’t know how to make a great meatloaf. 1 lb of meat will make a small loaf, but it can be cut into portions or eaten at least 2-3 nights depending on the size of your family. Eat it with ketchup, gravy, plain, or on a sandwich.

23. Pretzel Chocolate Candy Bark Dessert Recipe
This pretzel chocolate candy bark is so good. Like seriously! I will say, I didn’t use candy melts, but Ghirardelli chocolate chips. This is very sweet, but the salty pretzel really helps cut that sweetness. This makes 48 pieces and is perfect for portion control.
24. Peanut Butter Pretzel Sweet Dessert Recipe
I would say these peanut butter pretzels are less sweet, but they’re not. But they were so good when I could have them. Peanut butter, salty crunchy pretzel, and white chocolate really go well together. The best part is, you can make 30 pretzel bites or more with this recipe.
