Free printable grocery list
✨ I've created a free printable grocery list to go along with this week's recipes! It's organized by category and includes checkboxes to keep your shopping simple and stress-free.
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!
Stretch your budget - tips for meal planning
I have some quick tips for meal planning today for you to quickly review and apply what works best for you!
- Leftovers - freeze them as soon as possible. Don't forget to mark your storage containers well! If they sit in the refrigerator and you don't use them, it's like money down the drain.
- Purchase staples when they are on sale. That way you have go-to ingredients in your freezer and pantry.
- Properly package and store food - if you buy in bulk, repackage it when you get home from the grocery store. Use heavy duty foil will lengthen freezer life and prevent spoilage.
Use your leftovers
Before Thanksgiving I make sure we're eating our way through the refrigerator and freezer. Each day I removed meals that were frozen to thaw and use.
That works great because...
- We used those meals (which is why I frozen them to begin with).
- We saved money because I wasn't going to the store.
- It opens space in the fridge and freezer for our Thanksgiving leftovers....win/win!
Thanksgiving Eve
Grab some take out. Whether it's pizza, Greek food or your favorite Chinese restaurant. You'll be cooking up a storm on T-Day. Give yourself a break!
Pro Tip - Make a leftover night! - in other words, use your leftovers! That might be a no-brainer, but don't just tuck a meal in the freezer.... eat it!
Got a tip for me? Please comment below, I'd love to hear it!

Tachos (Tater Tot Nachos)
By now you're getting tired of all the Thanksgiving flavors, right? Then it's time to break out the Tachos!
What are tachos? Well those are tater tot nachos. Super easy and fun for movie night or watching the game. Enjoy!
Crockpot Chicken and Gravy
Crockpot Chicken and Gravy - you'll put everything in the slow cooker before you leave for work and it's done when you get home. Serve with white or brown rice, or buttered egg noodles.
Make some steamed green beans or roasted broccoli for an easy dinner!
Cheeseburger Soup Recipe
This hearty soup will be a real winner, even for your picky eaters!
With all the flavors of your favorite cheeseburger this easy recipe will quickly become a family favorite.
Cheeseburger Soup is quick and easy to make. No needs for any sides, this is a complete meal!
Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells
Cheesy Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells - what's not to love?
If you need a delicious dinner for your family then look no further!
Super yummy, these are easy to make and can be topped with Alfredo or Marinara Sauce.
Roasted Brussels sprouts would be yummy with this meal, as would roasted asparagus. I'm such a fan of a great yummy veggie! A great green salad is always a terrific side as well!
Leftover Turkey Soup
Let's not forget about that leftover turkey! Grab some out of the freezer and make turkey soup!
Chicken Bacon Ranch Pinwheels would be the perfect little sandwich to serve with the soup.
