Each week I use the same template but switch up the meal ideas a bit according to what is on sale. You CAN create healthy meal plans with quick and easy weeknight dinners that kids love!
This week I went for a more clean and fresh eating vibe as the weather is turning nice(er) here in New England and the kids want to play outside and who wants to eat heavy wintery food right now?
Healthy Meal Plan Volume 5 for a Family of 5
It’s that time of the week again! I love it when it’s meal planning time. These easy weeknight dinners volume 5 are super easy and fun this week in honor of winter ending.
I’ve installed printing buttons on my meal plan posts now so you can both save these meal plans and shopping lists as pdf files AND print them out to take to the grocery store! But of course I recommend the pdf version that you can send to your smartphone!

I am a New England mama of 3 kids, 3 kitties and 2 puppies! I grew up in the great state of NH and blog about all things healthy and natural near Nashua and Boston.
Holy Cow – I am so excited to find your blog! I’m always looking for new ideas and to have the shopping list already created is a HUGE time saver! What do chickpea veggie burgers taste like? I’m a big red meat fan . . . so it’s hard for me to imagine burgers made from anything other than beef . . .
I’ve tried planning out my meals, but never stick to it. I should probably try something like this that does it all for me.
