1/8 On The Menu This Week

We are back with weekly dinner menu planning - something that's become such a cornerstone of keeping our busy household of seven running smoothly! Between homeschooling lessons, endless snack requests, and juggling all the beautiful chaos that comes with having young children, knowing exactly what's for dinner each night is absolutely essential for our home! Our weekly meal planning not only saves my sanity during those busy weekday evenings but also helps us stay committed to sharing homemade meals together as a family. Plus, with grocery prices these days, planning ahead allows me to shop strategically, use ingredients across multiple meals, and keep our grocery budget in check (which is no small feat with five growing kiddos!). I love using Sunday afternoons to look ahead at our week, plan our meals around our activities, and prep what I can ahead of time. This simple practice has transformed our weekday dinners from stressful to peaceful, allowing us to focus on what really matters - gathering around the table together.

Here are the cozy dinner recipes we made this week!
