WEEKLY DINNER IDEAS (# 2)

I started something new last week for My Colombian Recipes readers: a weekly dinner meal plan.

Pin

Every week, I’ll send you a plan with 6 dinner ideas for the week. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. 

Each meal plan will give you options for a main dish and side dishes for each week. I'll add 3 different bonus recipes every week for breakfast, appetizer, dessert, drink or snack. You can check my meal ideas from last week here.

MEAL PLAN WEEK 2

Recipes that you can make any night of the week. Don't forget to subscribe to get the next week’s plan delivered to your email here.

MONDAY

• Main Dish: Colombian Lentil Soup – This soup is one of my favorite dishes. It's filling and easy to make with simple ingredients.
• Serve it with:
  • White Rice – I love adding rice to my lentil soup.
  • Avocado and Tomato Salad – A delicious and refreshing salad. If you want to keep simple just serve it with avocado.

TUESDAY

• Main Dish: Lomo Apanado (Breaded Steak) – I usually marinade the steak overnight for extra flavor. Make the marinade the night before if you can for a quicker meal.
• Serve it with:
  • Rice with Caramelized Onions – I love serving this steak with a rice dish, but this recipe is also delicious with mashed or roasted potatoes.
  • Avocado and Tomato Salad – This is a simple salad for any meal. If you want to keep more simple just serve it with avocado.

WEDNESDAY

• Main Dish: Chicken in Orange Sauce – This recipe is full of flavor and easy to make.
• Serve it with:
  • White rice to soak the sauce and a green vegetable.

Thursday

• Main Dish: Pork Chop with Creole Sauce – This dish is company worthy and weeknight easy.
• Serve it with:
  • White Rice – To soak the rich and flavorful sauce.
  • Avocado and Tomato Salad – A simple and fresh salad. If you want to keep simple just serve it with avocado.

FRIDAY

• Main Dish:  Salmon with Shrimp Sauce – If you don't like salmon, just use cod, tilapia, sole halibut or your favorite fish.
• Serve it with:
  • Cilantro Lime Rice – I love serving this dish with rice, but roasted or mashed potatoes are always a good option too.
  • A simple green salad or vegetable on the side.

SATURDAY

• Main Dish: Ajiaco (Potato and Chicken Soup)– One of the most popular Colombian soups. This is the perfect dish to make on a weekend when you have extra time cook.
• Serve it with:
  • White Rice – I love serving this soup with rice, but a a simple green salad or avocado is enough.

BONUS RECIPES

This week's bonus recipes are:

• Colombian Empanadas - One of my favorite snacks.
• Ají Picante (Hot Sauce)- A must to serve with empanadas and it's also wonderful addition to soups.
• Homemade Watermelon Juice - It's refreshing and perfect to serve with any meal.
