Weekly Meal Plan 6.26.26

We pulled the planning off your plate. Every week the Wilma Weekly drops a fresh meal plan with family-friendly recipes and a full grocery list — so you can shop once and actually enjoy the week. Here's what's cooking.

Dinner # 1: Simple Coconut Chicken Tikka Masala

Get the recipe → (A Bright Moment)

Chicken marinated in yogurt and warm spices, simmered in coconut milk until the sauce is rich, creamy, and absolutely impossible to stop eating. Serve it over basmati rice with warm naan for scooping up every last drop. This one feels like a restaurant night — without leaving the house or spending the money. Bonus: the leftovers taste even better the next day.

Dinner # 2: Dan Dan Noodles

Get the recipe → (Mel's Kitchen Cafe)

Ground beef and tender noodles tossed in a sauce that is a little sweet, a little spicy, and a little creamy — on the table in 30 minutes. The peanut butter flavor is subtle and not overpowering, which means even the skeptics at the table will be going back for seconds. One of those dinners you make once and immediately add to the permanent rotation.

Dinner # 3: Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Light, fresh, fast, and genuinely fun to eat. Seasoned chicken with cashews and a savory-sweet sauce served in crisp lettuce cups, topped with diced tomatoes and cucumber for crunch. Restaurant-quality flavor wrapped up in a 30-minute recipe — great for nights when you want something on the lighter side that still fills everyone up.

Side Dish: Vegetarian Italian Pasta Salad

Get the recipe → (Dishing Out Health)

Pasta salad loaded with chickpeas, veggies, and a homemade zesty Italian dressing — easy, make-ahead friendly, and seriously versatile. Make it Sunday and it works alongside any dinner this week. Also great for lunches, potlucks, or just grabbing out of the fridge when you need something fast.
