How Many Does it Feed?
This free weekly meal plan is exactly what you need to make your week easier! If you’re tired of last-minute dinner stress, then these recipes are perfect. They’ll feed 4–6 people (depending on your crew), and until you try it, you won’t believe how simple meal planning can be, especially with the included shopping list.
Why Should I Meal Plan?
If you haven’t tried my weekly meal plans, this is going to be a game-changer for you! Here’s why I swear by meal planning:
- Time Saver: No more 4 PM dinner panic. A meal plan tells you what’s for dinner, what you need, and how long it’ll take.
- Money Saver: Planning ahead helps your budget. You’ll shop smarter, buy in bulk, and use leftovers in new ways.
- Bye-Bye Takeout: With meals planned and groceries ready, you’ll skip the drive-thru, save money, and eat healthier.
Scrumptious Sides To Complete Your Meal
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-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.
