Meal planning always feels like one of my secret weapons. It helps me save time, money at the store, and escape that “what on earth am I making for dinner?!” feeling. I absolutely love it.

I’d been meal planning our dinners for about 15 years, but found that planning dinner by itself while still a big help, often meant I forgot to buy things for breakfast and lunch while at the store! Towards that end, I began planning out our breakfasts and lunches as well – and it really works for me. This is one of my family’s actual menus. We aren’t fancy, but I try to make a variety of family-friendly, budget-friendly, and tasty food. My hope is that you’ll find an idea or two to add to your own plan.

Ready for another 2-week meal plan that features not only dinner ideas, but breakfasts and lunches too? Here we go and happy planning everyone!

*I take Saturday mornings/afternoons “off” and the kids make their own breakfasts and lunches, and we almost always do sandwiches or leftovers on Sunday afternoons. We also eat dinner before our Sunday evening church, so I include what our “theme” for Sunday’s dinner was. 🙂
