This Weekly Meal Plan #9 is so good! Not only does it include a shopping list but it has easy dinners that are packed with flavor and your whole family will love!

I don’t include desserts in my meal plans just in case you don’t want to make those every night! But, in case you wanted to add those in this week, you should check out my delicious Cherry Pie Bars or this yummy No Bake Pistachio Cream Pie!

Easy Dinner Recipes

I am so excited to share this weekly meal plan #9 with you. It is filled with all of my most popular recipes and the flavors are so good. Each night is a meal that takes less than an hour (some of them only take 20 minutes!) which is exactly the kind of meals I love!

Don’t forget that I include a shopping list for you! It is specially made for this particular week’s meal plan with measurements of everything that you will need. It makes planning so easy and you will love it!

Why is Meal Planning Helpful? 

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 meal plan, you know exactly whatโ€™s on the menu, what you need, and how long it takes to cook.
  • Money Saver: Prepare to be amazed โ€“ 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 meals are planned and groceries are stocked, youโ€™re less likely to hit the drive-thru. That means more savings and healthier eating. Win-win!

I made this as easy as possible by even providing a FREE shopping list that is easy to print and makes your grocery shopping days much easier!

Meal Planning with Leftovers

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.
