A couple of weeks ago, I took a quick pic of my meal plan for the week (along with my amazing white wine spritzer) and posted it to Instagram. It was innocent enough, but my followers LOOOOOVVVEEEED seeing it!

And obviously, meal planning is way better with cookies and coffee! Or wine! Either will do:)

So, I of course I decided that I should probably post it here on the blog so I can 1) write more info about the recipes 2) let all of you who don’t follow me on Instagram know about it (ps, you should totally follow me on the insta if you don’t already, I post wwwwaaaayyyyy more pictures, exclusive contests and tons of food inspiration. Plus then I get to stock your feed and see all your cute babies!! Win Win!!)

This isn’t going to be a super polished post. It’s going to be a quick post giving you some ideas on what you can make for the week. Let me know if you like these meal plans and want me to keep posting.

Quick Info –

  • I usually don’t plan meals for the weekend as we tend to go out or have leftovers those meals.
  • Since Parker is able to eat any foods now, we all eat the same meals. I have a slightly different lunch (add in a huge salad to what is on this meal plan), hubby usually has his eggs/bacon/avocado breakfast and I usually toss in some additional fruit onto the kiddos plates. One family – One meal (most of the time:)
  • I am not a great meal planner by any means, so I would love to hear any tips you have! We can do this together!

Tip of the Week – Know which meal you suck at planning/making, and work at it! <—– super deep here!! I am really bad about planning lunches (or even having anything in the house for lunches) and we usually just have leftovers, things tossed together to resemble a meal or we hit up a drive through (yes, we eat fast food!). Now that Ellie is in school, I have to give lunches a little more thought. For the last couple of weeks, I have been planning my dinners around school lunches, so that I can use the leftovers in her lunches. This means I have to think about what will stay good in a lunch box that doesn’t have to get heated. Seems like I can do this for 2 lunches a week, while the other lunches I have to have a plan for.
