How Many Does it Feed?
This is exactly what you need to make your week a little easier! These five recipes will feed 4-6 people (depending on your crew). Plus, it includes a shopping list to keep things simple.
Why Should I Meal Plan?
This is not just for Type A moms or Pinterest people. It’s for you, the one juggling all the things and still trying to feed everyone without losing it. Here’s why it works:
- No more dinner panic. You’ll actually know what’s for dinner before 4 PM hits.
- Save that grocery money. Shop once, buy what you need, and stop tossing sad produce at the end of the week.
- Less takeout guilt. When you’ve got meals planned and ingredients ready, you’re way less likely to hit the drive-thru.
- More time with your people. Less stress over what to cook = more time for the stuff that actually matters.
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, let’s be real, weekends are a wild card. Sometimes we’re out, sometimes we’re winging it, and sometimes I’m just living off leftovers in leggings. If you’ve got extras, don’t let them go to waste, pop them in an airtight container and give yourself a break from cooking!
