This Easy Family Menu the perfect way to plan meals for a family. It’s so easy you’ll be cooking a roast one day, and repurposing the leftovers and making it into two brand new meals! Cook once, eat twice!
Meal planning can be a little overwhelming. Heck, the whole idea of having to get dinner on the table five nights this week is overwhelming.
Take a deep breath! I’ve totally got you covered and I’m going to show you exactly how to make dinner not only EASY, but exciting again!
My favorite menu planning trick is to cook once, and eat twice, or three times! It’s basically doing batch work in the kitchen. And it saves SOOOOO much time!
So, for this Easy Family Menu we’re going to make roast beef and then turn it into not just one, but two other meals! That’s three meals out of one roast beef! It’s the BEST!
I always build my family menus around cooking meat once, and using the leftovers in at least two other recipes! I have a feeling you’re going to get hooked on this method!
Make-ahead breakfast recipe
My breakfast recipe for this Easy Weekly Family Menu is a make-ahead recipe, which is a game changer! Make it the night before and put it in the fridge and bake it in the morning.
Main dish recipe ideas
Go ahead and use these five recipes on any day that fits your schedule. This sandwich is perfect for a quick and easy recipe.
You are seriously going to fall in love with this roast beef, and then use it a few more days later in the week! Leftovers are the BEST!
Plus, I’ve repurposed it into a Mexican dinner and another sandwich! And I’ve got a grilled chicken recipe too. (You can use the leftover to make Hawaiian Chicken Pizza or Chicken Pasta Salad).
You’re going to need a slow cooker (I have this one and love it) for this week’s recipes and slow cooker liners really make cleanup easier too! {Affiliate Links}

Both of these side dish recipe would be fantastic with the roast beef the first time you make it or with the French Dip sandwich!
