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 Even Bother With Meal Planning?
Less Last-Minute Scrambling: No more 5 p.m. panic—just a calm, confident “I’ve got this.”
Fewer Decisions: Take the guesswork out of dinnertime and save your mental energy for everything else.
Smarter Shopping: You’ll buy what you actually need and waste less food (and money).
More Enjoyable Meals: With a plan in place, dinner feels less rushed and more like quality time.
Healthier Choices: Planning ahead makes it easier to work in balanced, nutritious meals.
Side Dishes for Dinner
My weekly menu 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-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.
