This is what we’re eating this week. Nothing complicated, nothing that takes forever, just dinners that sound good and don’t make the evening harder than it needs to be. There’s a good mix in here too, so it doesn’t feel like you’re eating the same kind of meal every night.

Why Should I Meal Plan? 

If you haven’t tried meal planning yet, this is your sign. Trust me, it’s about to change your life. Here’s why I swear by it:

• Time saver: No more 4 PM “what’s for dinner?” panic. You already know the plan, the groceries are waiting, and dinner actually gets on the table.
• Money saver: Planning keeps your cart (and budget) under control. You can shop smarter, buy in bulk when it makes sense, and stretch leftovers into something new.
• Bye-bye takeout: When you’ve got meals ready to go, you’re way less tempted to hit the drive-thru. More savings, more homemade meals, and it just feels good.

Storing Leftovers for Meal Planning

I only meal plan Monday through Friday because we sometimes have plans over the weekend, or I have leftovers that we can use to finish off the week. If you have leftovers, be sure to store them properly in an airtight container in the fridge.
