Does your family do that annoying thing where they look at you every evening with hungry MOMWHATAREYOUMAKINGMEFORDINNER faces?
Yeah, they do that to us too.
Weird.
It’s like they don’t know how HARD it is to feed people every day. Sure, Rachel Ray makes it look all simple blah blah blah, but really, there are tons of other steps involved besides having cute hair and a bubbly smile and cooking for 30 minutes. Like thinking of what to make for dinner, shopping for groceries, cleaning up the kitchen…it’s a whole big thing.
So we want to help. We’re just helpful that way. Every week, we will be posting a meal plan for Monday-Friday. Of course, you can totally switch it up to suit your tastes but hopefully this is enough to get the ball rolling.
See what good friends we are? No annoying Hungry Faces. Just links to dinner recipes we think you might like.
Monday: Pulled Pork in Slow Cooker (leave BBQ sauce off until serving)
Double this so you can get two meals.
Tuesday: Chicken Lo Mein
Wednesday: Pork Tacos (using leftover pork from slow cooker)
Buy taco fixings: Flour tortillas, salsa, cheese, lettuce, sour cream.
Thursday: Easy Parmesan Meatloaf
Serve with green beans, potatoes.
Friday: Easy Stromboli
Serve with salad.
I’m heading over to your house on Tuesday. Yummy selections. Simple enough too.
I swear every week Im stuck on trying to think of something to make-I love this idea-thanks for sharing
Thanks for posting this
Genius! I so need this!!!
The menu sounds Yum-O! I will be trying the lo mein for my crew. Thanks!
What a great idea! Thanks so much for doing this! Now I can spend more time surfing the internet and less time meal-planning.
OH EM GEEE how awesome are you?? Seriously, you make my life a little easier every blog…
What a delicious idea! I need to get back on the menu planning bandwagon.
Oh, I used to be so good at the meal planning. I need to get back in the habit. Until I do, I’ll just steal your plan.
I hate that question!! That is so hypocritical of me though cuz I ask my husband the same thing.
Thanks for some good EASY ideas! Who wants to go home and cook a huge complicated meal after working all day??? Not this lady!
I think I might love you! Thanks for meals that REAL people can make and want to eat. I think I might actually have all of these ingredients, and I have at the very least heard of all the ingredients. YEAH, I think my meal plan for next week is DONE thanks to you guys. ROCK ON.
Sweet baby Jesus, you ladies are TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
I’m giving you my PLEASEBEMYBESTFRIENDFOREVER face.
This is going to help out so much. My bf is kind of a picky eater and I get tired of feeling like I’m always making the same thing. Anything that lets me think else after a day with my 2 year old and 6 months is genius. Thanks for this!
Love this…..I’m one of those organized OCD freak kinda girls and keep a monthly calendar on the fridge of what’s for dinner for the month….Huge help and it cuts down on grocery cost when you plan out your meals. This will be a huge help to people
Perfect!! I really need this!!
Thanks for the menu plan! And I made the Parmesan Meatloaf today and it was GREAT!
I love planning meals for the week so let me give you my favorite tip. I buy the JUMBO 5 lb. packages of hamburger meat and on Sunday afternoon, while hanging out watching the Vikings stink it up on the football field, I brown all 5lb. ( usually in two skillets to save time). Then I divide it up and freeze it in 1 lb. ziploc bags. When I get home at night I just have to grab one and defrost it in the microwave and can easily make tacos, spaghetti, lasagna or anything else. Happy Blogging!
Usually when I see meal plans online 4 of the 5 days are things my family won’t actually eat. This plan is perfect! Thank you!!!
great idea…….I’m terrible about menu planning!
Thank you so much for this! I am really looking forward to getting your help with ideas every week- It sthe hardest part for me!!! I tend to get in a rut….
This is a fabulous idea!
this is great! thanks!
