Meal planning and prepping tips

If you're new here...

Every week, I share a free meal plan for you to use the following week. You'll have seven main dish recipes, along with  a few extras and of course dessert.

Typically the weekly meal plans are named by number of the week and date. For example, if the plan is for the first week of January, I'll name it Weekly Meal Plan 1 - Jan 3-9. Next year the plans will be updated for the corresponding dates and tasty new recipes!

Don't forget - if you have a busy day and plan on eating out, just drop a day off the menu and adjust the meal plan to fit YOUR busy life!

Here are some shortcuts and tips for this week's menu!

  • Taco Spaghetti lasts 3-4 days in the fridge and leftovers freeze great!

Weekly meal plan 38

Homemade Sloppy Joes

Homemade Manwich on bun with pickles and chips.

You're going to love easy to make meal! Old Fashioned Sloppy Joes Recipe is so yummy. Top off a burger, pile it on baked potatoes or make yummy quesadillas - so many choices, this is a fantastic recipe!

This is great with Deviled Egg Potato Salad.

Slow Cooker Meatballs and Gravy

Saucy beef meatballs in crockpot with brown gravy. With serving spoon.

Crockpot meatballs and gravy are basically a hug on a plate! These little flavor bombs simmer away in a rich, savory gravy that makes the whole house smell like you've been cooking all day (spoiler: you haven't). Pile them high over mashed potatoes, noodles, or whatever carb makes your heart happy, and dinner's done.

Fast prep, big comfort, zero stress-now that's my kind of weeknight win!

Taco Spaghetti Casserole

Cheesy taco spaghetti casserole with a spoon scooping out a serving.

The Taco Spaghetti Casserole is the perfect meal! This pasta is cheesy and delicious, filled with taco flavor. It makes a huge casserole - enjoy! Top with a spoonful of Salsa Verde and enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips!

Roasted Shrimp

Cooked shrimp on spatula.

Easiest and best roast shrimp ever! Super simple to make either on a sheet pan or air fryer.

This would be yummy served Roasted Potatoes and a bright, refreshing Orange Salad.

Crockpot Cowboy Stew

Cowboy stew in a crockpot with a ladle to dish up the soup.

Crockpot Cowboy Stew is like a warm campfire in a bowl-minus the smoky hair. Packed with tender beef, hearty potatoes, and plenty of beans, it all simmers together in a zesty tomato sauce that'll have the whole table tipping their hats.

It's the kind of stick-to-your-ribs comfort food that makes chilly days feel downright cozy. One bite, and you might just hear a little "yeehaw" around the dinner table!

What's for desert? Fried Apples

Fried apples on spoon.

Easy to make fried apples recipe. You'll want to double or even triple the recipe. Top vanilla ice cream - such an easy simple dessert!
