Have you ever gone to the grocery store for a week’s worth of food and felt overwhelmed by the cost? If you plan accordingly and go in with a list, it’s really not as daunting as it seems. I like to get what is on sale and go from there, but these Easy Weeknight Dinners are a good base to start from.

With this template, you can create some really fabulous healthy meal plans AND keep your family happy. This is, of course, for a family of 5, and should give you some leftovers at least for mom or dad to take to work with them.
