What's for dinner this week?

You'll love this week's menu plan! I used 4 protein options so everyone can enjoy it, but also to give it some variation! If you like tacos but not fish, buy a rotisserie chicken for enchiladas and use the leftovers in tacos instead!

How many can I feed?

This free weekly menu plan is all you need to get your week started right. It provides 5 meals for 4-6 people (depending on whether you are feeding adults or children) and includes a shopping list! With fresh ideas and easy-to-make recipes, this weekly menu plan will be a lifesaver.

Why should I plan my meals?

If you’ve never meal planned before, this is a game changer for you! Here’s why I swear by meal planning:

  • Save time: No more 4 p.m. dinner panics. With a menu plan, you know exactly what's on the menu, what you need, and how long it'll take to cook.
  • Save money: Get ready to be amazed. Meal planning is a huge help to your wallet. By organizing your shopping list for the week, you can easily find opportunities to buy in bulk and creatively reuse leftovers. It’s a clever way to keep more money in your pocket.
  • Bye Bye Takeout: Planning your meals and stocking up on groceries will reduce your chances of stopping at the drive-thru. You’ll save more money and eat healthier meals by cooking at home. Win-win!

Storing Leftovers for Meal Planning

I only plan my meals from Monday to Friday, because I have plans for the weekend or have leftovers to finish the week! If you have leftovers, store them properly in an airtight container in the fridge.
