What’s for Dinner?
This is what we’re eating this week. Nothing complicated, nothing that takes forever, just dinners that sound good and don’t make the evening harder than it needs to be. There’s a good mix in here too, so it doesn’t feel like you’re eating the same kind of meal every night.
- Monday: Slow Cooker Bourbon Meatballs
- Tuesday: Jalapeño Chicken
- Wednesday: Better Than Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup
- Thursday: Cajun Rice and Sausage Skillet
- Friday: Garlic Parmesan Chicken Meatloaf

How Many Does it Feed?
This free weekly meal plan is just what you need to get your week started. It provides 5 meals for about 4-6 people and includes a free shopping list.
Why Should I Meal Plan?
If you haven’t tried meal planning yet, this is your sign. Trust me, it’s about to change your life. Here’s why I swear by it:
- Time saver: No more 4 PM “what’s for dinner?” panic. You already know the plan, the groceries are waiting, and dinner actually gets on the table.
- Money saver: Planning keeps your cart (and budget) under control. You can shop smarter, buy in bulk when it makes sense, and stretch leftovers into something new.
- Bye-bye takeout: When you’ve got meals ready to go, you’re way less tempted to hit the drive-thru. More savings, more homemade meals, and it just feels good.

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 through Friday because we sometimes have plans over the weekend, or I have leftovers that we can use to finish off the week. If you have leftovers, be sure to store them properly in an airtight container in the fridge.
