What’s For Dinner?
My menu plans take the stress out of dinnertime with tried-and-true recipes your family will love! Because each plan is packed with easy, flavorful meals using simple ingredients, it saves you time and extra grocery trips. Plus, with a little prep—like chopping veggies or marinating your meat in advance—cooking becomes even faster.

How Many Does it Feed?
This free weekly meal plan is just what you need to get your week started. It provides five meals that will feed 4-6 (depending on if you are feeding adults or kids), AND it includes a shopping list! With fresh new ideas and easy-to-make recipes, having a weekly menu plan will be a lifesaver.
Why Should I Meal Plan?
Meal planning isn’t just about what’s for dinner—it’s about making life smoother and more enjoyable. Here’s why it works for me:
- Less Stress: Knowing what’s on the menu takes the guesswork out of mealtime, so you can relax and focus on what matters.
- More Variety: Planning ahead lets you mix things up and try new recipes without falling into the same dinner rut.
- Family Time: When dinner is all figured out then there’s more time to sit down together and enjoy it.
Give it a try—it might just become your new favorite habit!

Storing Leftovers for Meal Planning
I only meal plan Monday-Friday because we sometimes have plans over the weekend, or I have leftovers that we can have to finish off the week! If you do have leftovers, make sure to store them properly in an airtight container in your fridge.
