A weekly family meal plan with heaps of variety. Find recipes for warm and tasty dinners, from pasta, to meatballs, skewers, paella and more!
My meal plan this week includes three meals from a Dinnerly meal kit box. I’ve had a busy few weeks, and it’s a treat this week not to have to think about or shop for some meals. If you’re interested in trying Dinnerly yourself, they have kindly given me a discount code to share with you. Head to Dinnerly here, and use the code KAT80 to receive $80 off your first four boxes.
In the meal plan below there are a range of warm and tasty dinners that are quick and simple to prepare, and perfect for cold nights in with your loved ones! Find a smokey BBQ Meatballs recipe, enchilada recipe, pasta, and even a baking idea for chocolate rough. With so much variety packed into the one family meal plan, I hope that it will inspire some dinners for own meal plan.
BENEFITS OF MEAL PLANNING
Each week I plan my meals for the following week, this is called meal or menu planning. Some think it’s not worth it, but it really is a simple task that takes 5-10 minutes to plan one week of meals. The money and time that these five minutes save me throughout my week, makes it well worth the effort.
