The one thing that has helped me over the years with getting dinner on the table every night is to have a PLAN.
A few years ago, I created our Weekly Meal Plans that focus on Main Dishes for Family Favorite Dinner Ideas.

You can access all the Weekly Meal Plans here on the blog every Monday. Or you can sign up for my weekly newsletter and have them delivered to your email.
Some of these recipes featured will be included in my own personal meal plan this week.
But what if you need more help than just the meal plans I share here on Walking on Sunshine Recipes? What if you need grocery lists and detailed printable recipes?

Weekly Meal Plan Newsletter
When my kids were younger, my meal plan was just a plain piece of paper with the days of the week and the dinner recipe I was going to prepare. This was way before blogging or meal plan printables were available online to help me.
As our kids grew and schedules became busier, I always included those events on the day of the week. I needed to have an idea if we even had time to eat at home or if maybe that meal had to be portable to eat on the go.
There were many nights we grabbed a container of prepared food to eat in the car while our son was at football practice!
Now through my blog, I have a very convenient Weekly Meal Plan post that goes out to all my readers. If you subscribe to my weekly newsletter, you have access to the free meal planning printables to help you plan out your family's meals as well.
