Repeating your weekly Meal Plan

Repeating your weekly meal plan

Spring is finally here and summer will be here before you know it. As the beautiful weather rolls in our lives seem to get busier and busier! Baseball, school, camping, family reunions, weddings etc, it is a really fun and exciting time. But all those fun times means less time at home, to plan out your family meals. Summer is usually a more expensive time for everyone, more activities and traveling etc, so we always try to save money where we can. Eating at home whenever possible is one of those ways. So I came up with an easy and simple meal plan that we will repeat every week. I picked meals that my family loves, cause no one wants to spend a beautiful summer night fighting with their kiddo's to eat their supper! So here it is, our meal plan: 

Monday - Panini's and Soup

Tuesday - Breakfast for supper (pancakes, waffles, crepes, (serve with fruit) pan scramble)

Wednesday - Crock pot (any crock pot freezer meal we have kicking around)

Thursday - Spaghetti (or some other pasta dish) garlic bread, salad

Friday - Pizza and salad

Saturday - BBQ (Hot dogs, steak, smokies or burgers) Baked potato's, veggies

Sunday - Chicken dinner (Chicken, potatoes or rice, veggies)

Before choosing the meal plan I ran the list of choices past my family and together this is what we came up with, I am so excited to get started! I made sure to choose super easy meals that don't take up too much time. My plan is to stick to this order, but sometimes things change and you need to learn to roll with the punches, so we will make changes as needed. Eating this way can also save you money, you can now buy things in bulk cause you know you will use all of it. It can save you time because you will no longer be running to the store every day, doing your weekly or bi-weekly shop should cover everything, so you should already have everything you need at home. Also not running to the store every day can save you money, it can save you from buying things you don't really need.

So this is our plan for the summer, we will see if this works for us, maybe it will feel too repetitive, but maybe it will work beautifully for us and our busy family! We shall see, either way, I am excited to get started! 

Let me know if you plan to try something like this, what meals do you think your family would like? Let's try this together and simplify our lives! 

Monday Panini and Soup

Tuesday Breakfast for Supper

Wednesday a Crockpot Freezer Meal

Thursday Spaghetti Night

Pizza (Homemade, store bought, order out, whatever works) and Salad

BBQ Night baked potatoes and veggies

 Chicken with rice or potatoes with veggies

All of these meals really work for our family, maybe they will work for you too! 

*** UPDATE ***

We are heading into our third week and so far so good, everyone is enjoying the meals, it doesn't feel too repetitive yet. It is so nice to only shop for the item's I need and that saves me a lot of time too! We have however had to switch around what gets eaten on which day, so we have find of thrown that part out. The meals remain the same, but if panini's don't suit us on Monday then break out the pancakes lol whatever works and makes your life simpler, right?!

Have you tried this? Is it working for you and your family? 

We are all still in love with the plan!
