This Week’s Meals = Chef’s Kiss
From saucy skillet dinners to crispy chicken that might just earn you a slow clap, this week’s lineup is solid. Meal planning has become my saving grace. With a plan in place, my grocery trips are (mostly) organized, and best of all, I avoid the dreaded 5 p.m. fridge stare-down. So with that, let’s get into it.
- Monday: Instant Pot Carnitas
- Tuesday: Bang Bang Chicken
- Wednesday: Skillet Salisbury Steak
- Thursday: Easy BBQ Chicken Pizza
- Friday: Classic Chicken Piccata

Why Meal Planning Is My Secret Weapon
Meal planning doesn’t make life perfect, but it makes dinner doable, and that’s more than enough for me.
- It cuts the grocery bill: I shop with a plan, not vibes. No more wilted spinach graveyard in the crisper drawer.
- It saves my sanity: I already made the dinner decision before the chaos hits. That alone deserves a trophy.
- It keeps us eating real food: When dinner’s already picked out, I’m way less likely to default to drive-thru mode.
Each weekly plan comes with a free printable grocery list that’s already measured and organized for you. Just print it out, head to the store, and enjoy feeling way more on top of life than you did five minutes ago!
Perfect Pairings for This Meal Plan
Leftovers Make Life Easier
I stick to planning dinners Monday through Friday. Weekends are for winging it, relaxing, or grabbing something fun. If you’ve got leftovers, pop them in an airtight container and save them for when the week gets busy.
