I wanted to make this week as delicious and stress-free as possible. This meal plan is packed with easy, comforting recipes that come together quickly but taste like you spent hours in the kitchen. There’s something for everyone!
What’s for Dinner?
This week’s dinners are perfect for those easygoing summer nights when you want something filling and flavorful without spending all evening in the kitchen. These meals come together with minimal effort and fewer dishes, and they let you get back to enjoying the warm weather, good food, and even better company.
How Many Does it Feed?
This free meal plan is here to take the stress out of dinner this week. It includes five flavor-packed recipes to feed 4–6, plus a grocery list!
Crack Chicken Pasta
Cheesy, creamy, and loaded with ranch flavor and chunks of juicy chicken, ‘Crack Chicken’ pasta is a dinner that will have everyone raving! And as if you needed more reason to make it, it’s ready in 30 minutes from start to finish!
Italian Sausage and Peppers
Your kids will be asking for seconds of this italian sausage and peppers dish. It’s full of flavor, quick to make, and perfect for busy weeknights.
Chicken Francese Recipe
My chicken Francese has tender chicken breasts lightly breaded and pan-fried to golden perfection, then coated in a bright, buttery lemon sauce.
Skillet Garlic Butter Herb Steak and Potatoes
A one-pan steak and potato dinner packed with juicy steak, crispy potatoes, and rich garlic herb butter. Quick, hearty, and full of steakhouse flavor!
Taco Ring
This taco ring is the easiest, cheesiest dinner. I know your family will love it as much as mine does! All you need is a can of crescent rolls, shredded Colby Jack cheese, some taco seasoning, and your favorite fixings to bring it to life!
Why Should I Meal Plan?
If you’re not meal planning yet, let me just say, you’re missing out. I started doing it to save time, but now I swear it saves my sanity too. Here’s why it works:
- Save money: Grocery prices are no joke! Planning ahead means fewer impulse buys, smarter shopping, and less food waste.
- Save time: No more staring into the fridge at 5 PM wondering what to make. Your plan has your back.
- Eat better: When meals are planned and ingredients are ready, you’re way less likely to hit the drive-thru.
- Feel more in control: One less thing to think about during a busy week, which means more energy for everything else.
My weekly plans come with a ready-to-go, printable shopping list, measured out and organized to make your grocery trip so much easier. Just print it, shop it, and you’re set for the week!

Storing Leftovers for Meal Planning
I only plan dinners Monday through Friday—weekends are our time to relax, get spontaneous, or treat ourselves to something fun! And if you’ve got leftovers from the week, even better. Just store them in an airtight container and enjoy a no-cook night on the couch.
