I spent three hours this morning collecting and reflecting on recipes to put on the monthly meal planner. Since we have a blended family, some days we have two kids, some days we have three kids, twice a month we have two dinners in a row with five kids and three nights every other week we have no kids. This menu reflects all of those permutations.
This particular set of weeks includes recipes from my best friend, a few tried and true that I found on Pinterest, one of the recipes that's been in my repertoire for the longest amount of time and a few easy stand-bys. All of these are recipes that can be made while juggling kids, work, carpool, errands, etc. Many of them are on my Family Approved Pinterest board.
When you are planning your own meal plans, set a few repeating meals to make it easy on yourself. We have Taco/Burrito Bar Tuesday every other week, pizza of some sort every Thursday, and chicken every Monday, for example.
Ask your friends for their favorite go to recipes when you are looking to mix things up a little bit.And do yourself one more favor, double up recipes and freeze one so you have it for a frazzled day.
What's for dinner?
