Meal planning and prepping tips
If this is the first time here and you're new to meal planning, let me give you some tips to make it simple!
Save money at the grocery store
Shop once with a full list. I don't know about you, but every time I walk in the door at the grocery store I will spend at least $50 I hadn't planned to spend. Go to the store once if at all possible!
Keep an inventory of the food you have to ensure you're not purchasing duplicate ingredients.

- Freezer containers stack well. I love the sizes available here.
- Still a big fan of these perforated plastic bags to keep fruit fresh longer.
- Are you meal prepping? These are perfect for planning ahead!
Sunday - Sheetpan Sausage and Peppers
Sausage and Peppers in the Oven is an easy one-pan dinner. This dish is made with Italian sausage, bell peppers, and onions and then seasoned to perfection. Make some dinner rolls to sop up the sauce - enjoy!
Monday - Meatloaf
Classic meatloaf makes the best comfort food for dinner and leftovers, terrific sandwiches! The whole family will love this easy recipe! Serve with roasted vegetables - yum! And Air Fryer Baked Potatoes.
Tuesday - Meatloaf Sandwiches
BIG fan of leftover meatloaf. It makes the BEST sandwiches! Just grab some good rolls and pile them with your favorite fixings. Serve with potato chips. Enjoy this easy dinner!
Wednesday - Beef Noodle Soup
This easy-to-make Beef Noodle Soup is a big hearty stew packed with tender, slow-cooked beef, vegetables, and egg noodles. It's a comforting meal that's perfect for the cool/cold days we've been having. Keep it easy and grab some Hawaiian rolls at the store.
Thursday - Monterey Chicken Spaghetti
This Monterey Chicken Spaghetti is a comforting family favorite. Packed with chicken, spaghetti noodles, and a creamy sauce, it's sure to please everyone! Serve with Pizza Hut Bread Sticks.
Friday - French Toast Breakfast Casserole
Breakfast for dinner is a great way to end the week. We love the French Toast Casserole dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with syrup. Make some Air Fryer Bacon for some saltiness with the sweet casserole, mmmm!
Saturday - New Year's Eve - Appetizers
Personally, I love serving great appetizers on Christmas Eve.
Some of my favorites are Italian Stuffed Mushrooms, Roast Beef Rollups, Sausage Balls and Stuffed Celery. The Christmas Charcuterie Board would make the meal really special!
Dessert - Ritz Cracker Cookies
This is another quick and easy treat. They will last up to a week refrigerated as well. The Ritz Cracker Cookies are the perfect salty/sweet treat!🎅🏻
