As part of our Weekly Meal Plan, I am featuring Weeknight Meal Plans for Two. I created this list because you all have been requesting more meal plans for just two people. Together with printable menus available for you to customize for your family’s dinner, you can use these recipes to inspire your meal planning this week.
Cooking for two and creating weeknight meal plans for two can be a challenge. But that's where I come in! I love helping you find just the right recipe so you can enjoy a nice meal at home with your family...even if that means only two people at the dinner table!
There are printable menus available to help inspire your meal planning this week as well as a few helpful tips for 10 Essentials Pantry Items and Freezer Meal Planning Tips.
All of which will further help you customize your family’s dinner plans. Getting dinner on the table doesn't have to be hard if we plan ahead.

Meal Planning Categories
This is just an example of how I like to meal plan. You could also incorporate a “leftover meal” or even “clean out the refrigerator” night. This is something we do at least once a week or every 10 days.
Assign each day of the week a different category and then plan a meal according to that category.
- Monday - Meatless, Vegetarian or even Leftovers from the weekend.
- Tuesday - Taco Tuesday or Mexican Recipe
- Wednesday - Chicken, Beef or Fish
- Thursday - Pasta or Italian Night
- Friday - Sandwiches and Soup
- Saturday - Pizza or Eat Out, Order In
- Sunday - Comfort Food Meal
- Monday - Creamy Mushroom Pasta
- Tuesday - Smoked Salmon Carbonara
- Wednesday - Cast Iron Steak for Two
- Thursday - Chicken Parmigiana Sandwiches
- Friday - Ham and Cheese Soup for Two
- Saturday - Air Fryer Pizza
- Sunday - Smothered Chicken
Now, pick a side dish to serve with the recipes listed above. Side dishes should include potatoes or rice along with one or two veggies. A tossed salad with homemade ranch salad dressing is always nice too.
