So, it is no secret our life it pretty hectic. We both work full time and have two busy kids. While we may be busy, I totally get that we are not the busiest by far and that so many families are just as busy if not more so. I was talking with a friend recently about how I “do it all” {Confession: I definitely don’t} and one of the most important things in our weekly activities is meal planning. Creating a meal plan helps me in so many ways:
– I spend less time at the store because I have a specific list versus wondering aimlessly
– I spend less time making dinner because I don’t have to do the “what’s for dinner” thing each night
– I spend less money because, again, I have a list and stick to it. No more buying lettuce that never gets used because we might want to make salads one night.
I was talking to some of my other blogger friends and we were all discussing exactly how awesome having a meal plan is each week. So, I teamed up with SIX other bloggers to bring y’all a weekly meal plan that you can gather delicious recipes and major inspiration from. I know when you are busy, sometimes it seems like planning your upcoming meal seems like the last thing you want to do. But, trust me, it is so important!
The best part: the recipes in this meal plan are easy dinner recipes that anyone can use! We even throw in an extra like a dessert or drink too for fun! Take a look at this week’s meal plan:
