Weeknight Dinner Meal Plan: We’re cooking healthy spring 5 ingredient dinners. From enchiladas to slow cooker Thai chicken, foil-wrapped salmon, pasta, and a 5 ingredient treat the kids will love.
This week — we’re keeping it easy and simple. All dinners are 5 ingredients… or less.
Tuesday’s dinner is 3 ingredients!
As April turns into May, our schedules seem to shift as the days grow longer.
Simple, healthy dinners with few ingredients are perfect for the season.
Here’s what we’re cooking this week:
Healthy Spring 5 Ingredient Dinners
Enchiladas were mentioned at the top of this post. Monday is enchilada night. Made with black beans and 4 other ingredients, it’s a meatless Monday standard.
On Tuesday, we dusting off the slow cooker for a 3 ingredient Thai chicken night that we’ll serve over our favorite grain. Be creative with your toppings!
If there’s one dinner that’s a go-to for me, it’s stir-fry. It’s the night where I raid the refrigerator, freezer, and pantry. A mid-week Wednesday seems perfect for a stir-fry night. Add protein and whatever veggies happen to be around.
For Thursday, we’re cooking a Mediterranean-inspired 5 ingredient salmon dinner in foil.
This Friday is a pasta night with 5 simple ingredients. I’ll be adding protein for a few family members, but the pasta is fresh and super delicious.
And in keeping with our 5 ingredient theme, this week’s treat is one the kids will love. And the big kids too, I would imagine!
Sound good?
It’s going to be a delicious week!

Healthy Spring 5 Ingredient Dinners: What to Cook (Apr 26)
Weeknight Dinner Meal Plan: We're cooking healthy spring inspired 5 ingredient dinners. From enchiladas to slow cooker Thai chicken, foil-wrapped salmon, pasta, and a 6 ingredient treat the kids will love.
Monday: 5 Ingredient Black Bean Enchiladas
"These black bean enchiladas require just a few ingredients and a few minutes of prep! You’ll have a meatless dinner ready in no time."
Tuesday: Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Thighs
"Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Thighs Recipe made with 2 ingredients: healthy homemade Thai sweet chili sauce and chicken thighs. BEST easy healthy chicken!" Serve over your favorite grain and add toppings like scallions, fresh tomatoes, peppers -- or anything that sounds good to you!
Wednesday: So Simple Stir Fry
When time is short, I love to fall back on an easy stir-fry. This recipe works with whatever meat you prefer, or even tofu. Chop fresh vegetables, buy pre-chopped stir-fry veggies at the market -- or use frozen. Whatever works for you! And serve over your favorite grain.
Thursday: Mediterranean Salmon in Foil Packets
"This healthy and easy dinner is also one of those perfect meals that appeals to every member of my family. I love that clean-up and prep work is minimal (thanks to the foil packets), and my kids love the pesto sauce that flavors the fish."
Friday: Spinach Parmesan Pasta Recipe {5-Ingredients}
"5-Ingredient Spinach Parmesan Pasta-you only need 5 ingredients to make this quick and easy pasta dish!" I'm adding leftover chicken from Tuesday night's dinner for additional protein, but this pasta dinner is incredibly delicious as is!
Treat: 5-Ingredient Monster Cookie Bars
"These quick and easy bars are a treat that everyone can get behind. Top it all off with an irresistible chocolate drizzle that will take this recipe from 'that's good!' to 'can we have seconds'?"
