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 whether you are feeding adults or kids), AND it includes a shopping list!
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.

Storing Leftovers for Meal Planning
I stick to Monday–Friday because, well, weekends are unpredictable. Sometimes we go out, sometimes we live on leftovers, and I’m not mad about it. Just stash any leftovers in an airtight container and call it a win.
