Menus
Need a little help or jumpstart with your menu planning? I harp on it all the time, but menu planning saves my sanity and my grocery budget.
If you are creating a menu plan from scratch, download this super handy mix-and-match side dish planner. It’s a lifesaver for menu planning (and I’ll be keeping it updated with any new side dishes I blog about).
If you are looking for already made menu plans, you are in the right place! I tailored these menu plans the same way I create my own (which may or may not work for you): a nicer, larger dinner on Sundays, a miscellaneous/leftover night at least once per week, homemade pizza one night a week with a list of “Treats to Make” below the menu. I also included a list of our favorite breakfast options underneath the menu. As for lunch? Well, you are on your own because we keep things ultra-simple around here for lunch – leftovers, PB&J’s, crackers and cheese, you know…simple, as in no-recipe-needed!
You can download these menu plans as a Word (editable) or PDF (not editable) document and mix and match, delete, cut, paste, hack to pieces, or do whatever your little soul needs to get the menu plan you so desire. The corresponding grocery lists are blank so you can fill them out based on what you already have in your pantry and refrigerator.
I’ll be adding new menu plans every so often so check back for more menu planning inspiration!
