    This week's 30 minute meal plan can help all of us prepare delicious meals in no time...well, in 30 minutes or less!

    From one pan chicken recipes, to hearty casseroles and homemade soup, there's something for everyone!

    Check out all the past Weekly Meal Plans for more inspiration to help you get dinner on the table for your family this week

    Seven recipes for a 30 minute meal plan.

    Like most busy moms, I often find meal planning to be a daunting task. I'd rather NOT think about it! But, by the end of each day, my family is hungry and I need help!

    Looking for more Weekly Meal Plans? Easy Dinner Recipes, Frugal Dinner Ideas and Recipes, Crock Pot Recipes or Easy Chicken Dinner Recipes. All are filled with great ideas to help you get dinner on the table for your family.

    Meal Planning Ideas

    • Start by checking the family calendar to determine the type of meals needed each evening. Will everyone be home at the same time or will you be eating in shifts?
    • Once you're figured out how many nights you need to have dinner ready, take inventory of what's available in your pantry and freezer.
    • Choose 3-4 recipes for the upcoming week, prioritizing those that can be made with existing ingredients. As a bonus, consider doubling one of the recipes to create a batch for future use.
    • Put together a grocery list. Take advantage of what's on sale at your local grocery store. I like to order our groceries online and pick them up so I'm not tempted to purchase impulse items.

    Meal Planning Categories

    This is just an example of how I like to meal plan. You could also incorporate a “leftover meal” or even “clean out the refrigerator” night.

    Try to use what you have in your pantry and freezer to plan meals. It helps to keep a list so you know exactly what you have on hand.

    • Monday - Meatless, Vegetarian or even Leftovers from the weekend.
    • Tuesday - Taco Tuesday or Mexican Recipe
    • Wednesday - Chicken, Beef or Fish
    • Thursday - Pasta or Italian Night
    • Friday - Sandwiches and Soup
    • Saturday - Pizza or Eat Out, Order In
    • Sunday - Comfort Food Meal

    All of the recipes featured this week are 30 minute meal plans. Which is perfect for busy days when you think you don't have enough time to cook dinner.

    Once you have your meal plan together, pick a side dish to serve alongside. Side dishes could include potatoes or rice along with one or two veggies. A tossed salad with homemade ranch salad dressing is always nice too.
