One Week Planned in 5 Minutes!
Our Weekly Family Meal Plan
I have said it before and I’ll say it again! Meal planning will forever be a part of my life! It makes cooking dinner so much easier! It makes my week easier! Here is our menu this week for my hubby, our oldest son, and myself then this weekend is for our whole family because our two youngest boys are coming home! 💙💙
Monday: Crock pot chicken pasta with mashed potatoes and cooked carrots
Tuesday: Steak, baked potatoes, and salad
Wednesday: KFC
Thursday: Sloppy joes and fries for the boys - sticky chicken salad for me
Friday: Spaghetti and garlic bread
Saturday: Ham, scalloped potatoes, and corn
Sunday: Chicken pot pie
Making our meal plan this week was super easy and only took me 5 minutes! I planned the weekend first because when the kids are here I only make dinners they like so that was easy! The boys then put in their request for steak and KFC so that took up another two days! I always ask the guys in the house what they are craving because one, that means everyone is happy, and two, it helps me plan faster.
So with only two days left, I picked sloppy joes since I haven’t made them in a long time. And then I picked the crock pot pasta because I was craving that!
So there you have it! A weekly meal plan made in 5 minutes! The whole process took me 10 minutes when you added in me checking the fridge, freezer, and pantry making my grocery list!
