What’s for Dinner?

These are the kinds of dinners that everyone enjoys. Every recipe in this weekly meal plan is a full meal on its own, but you can always add a side or dessert if you like. Maybe some garlic brussels sprouts or 1-hour dinner rolls!

I put out a new weekly meal plan every week, and you can always swap meals around if needed. If you’d like to get them each week without having to look for them, my newsletter is the best way.

Why is Meal Planning Helpful? 

If you haven’t tried planning your meals ahead of time, this is going to be a game-changer for you! Here’s why I swear by weekly meal plans:

  • Saves time: No more 5:00 panic. You already know what’s for dinner, what you need, and how long it’ll take.
  • Saves money: Shopping with a plan makes it easier to buy what you’ll actually use and stretch leftovers into another meal.
  • Less takeout: When dinner is planned and groceries are in the house, skipping the drive-thru gets a lot easier.

I made this as easy as possible by providing a FREE shopping list you can print to make shopping better and more economical.

Meal Planning with Leftovers

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.
