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? 

If you havenโ€™t tried planning your meals ahead of time, this is going to be a game-changer for you! Hereโ€™s why I swear by meal planning:

  • Time Saver: No more 4:00 PM panic about dinner. With a menu plan, you know exactly whatโ€™s on the menu, what you need, and how long it takes to cook.
  • Money Saver: Meal planning works wonders for your wallet. When you organize your shopping list for the week, then youโ€™ll easily spot opportunities to buy in bulk and creatively repurpose leftovers for future meals. Itโ€™s a clever approach that keeps more money in your pocket.
  • Bye-Bye Takeout: When your dinners are planned ahead of time and groceries are stocked, youโ€™re less likely to hit the drive-thru. Because you are cooking at home, that means more savings and healthier eating. Win-win!

Side Dishes for Dinner

My weekly meal plans always include a printable shopping list that is measured out and ready to go. It makes things so easy!

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.
