RELATED: View all weeks from our new series — Weekly Dinner Meal Plans

It’s week 18 and we’re moving into the month of May this week. Can you believe it? Time flies.

Weeknight meals can sometimes be hectic. Especially in the spring. The seasons have changed and with the longer days, schedules become busier. It’s easy for meal planning to take a backseat.

With these busier days, I’m often asked by friends, family, and readers what I’m cooking for dinner. So here’s a peek at how I’m feeding my family this week.

This is an exciting week. On Saturday, many of us will be celebrating two occasions, Cinco de Mayo and the Kentucky Derby. Oh my! What a day!

In addition to the Monday through Friday Weekly Meal Plan ideas, I’ve included some links to help you plan both events on Saturday.

It’s going to be a great week!

Weekly Dinner Meal Plan // Week 18 | 31Daily.com

A one-pot meal with few ingredients, that’s simply perfect for this season. From the newly published cookbook, “River Cafe London,” (Amazon affiliate link) author Ruthie Rogers says, “We cook this pasta when asparagus is in season and we cut them almost as thin as the tagliarini.” Serve simply with a tossed salad and perhaps a crusty loaf of French bread. And if you’re fortunate, they’ll be leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch!

Thursday: Creamy Lemon Chicken with Thyme

Weekly Dinner Meal Plan // Week 18 | 31Daily.com

“This simple recipe uses a small list of ingredients – chicken, olive oil, butter, garlic, thyme, lemon, flour, and milk. I usually have most of these in my pantry and don’t worry if you don’t have fresh thyme, although I really love the flavor. Dried thyme works in a jiffy!” Serve with steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower.
