    This week we are focusing on how to meal plan for 2 adults with our Weekly Meal Plan #26. These recipes are easy to prepare and will be just enough food to feed two people. Included in this meal plan is a printable menu and grocery shopping list for you to customize. I hope you'll use these recipes to inspire your meal planning this week.

    Two meals in plastic containers with salt and pepper shakers.

    Meal Planning Categories

    This is just an example of how I like to meal plan for 2 adults. You could also incorporate a “leftover meal” or even “clean out the refrigerator” night. This is something we do at least once a week or every 10 days.

    Assign each day of the week a different category and then plan a meal according to that category.

    • 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
    7 recipes perfect for cooking for two people.
    • Monday - Chili Beef and Noodles from Krumpli
    • Tuesday - Copycat Chipotle Chicken Bowl from Are Invented Mom
    • Wednesday - Honey Garlic Chicken from All Nutritious
    • Thursday - Chicken Cutlet with Spaghetti
    • Friday - Budget Friendly Tuna Salad
    • Saturday - Homemade Beer Dough Pizza
    • Sunday - Pesto and Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken from From a Chef's Kitchen

    Now, pick a side dish to serve with the recipes listed above. Side dishes should include potatoes or rice along with one or two veggies. A tossed salad with homemade ranch salad dressing is always nice too.

    Beef Stir Fry with Noodles | Spicy & Quick

    Beef is a great meat to use in a stir fry, it has a big flavor and as a result is stands up to big flavors. It also means that you need less of it to get a real meaty hit.
