Weekly Meal Plan – Simple Dinner Ideas

This Weekly Meal Plan makes dinner easy with five simple family meals, one grocery trip, and every recipe under $4 per serving.

This is one of my favorite meal plan weeks because it uses a mix of cooking methods, including the slow cooker, sheet pan, oven, and stovetop. With 8 kids, having five simple dinners planned before Monday starts makes the entire week much easier.

These Weekly Meal Plans have saved dinnertime with easy recipes that the whole family will love. Make sure to also check out Meal Plan 21, Meal Plan 20 and Meal Plan 19 for more recipes to try.
