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? 

Meal planning isnโ€™t just about whatโ€™s for dinnerโ€”itโ€™s about making life smoother and more enjoyable. Hereโ€™s why it works for me:

  • Less Stress: Knowing whatโ€™s on the menu takes the guesswork out of mealtime, so you can relax and focus on what matters.
  • More Variety: Planning ahead lets you mix things up and try new recipes without falling into the same dinner rut.
  • Family Time: When dinner is sorted, thereโ€™s more time to sit down together and enjoy it.

Give it a tryโ€”it might just become your new favorite habit!

Side Dishes for Dinner

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 anย airtight containerย in your fridge.
