Weekly Dinner Plan And Shopping List

healthy weekly meal plan

Hope everyone had a great week! I got some exciting news this week, Planning your family meals couldn’t be easier with the Good Housekeeping Weekly Meal Planner. All our recipes are triple-tested so you can be sure our recipes will work for you.

Pictured below is The Meal Planner where I plan my dinners for the week (you can of course use any meal planner). Meal planning is a great way to get organized before heading to the supermarket to get ready for the week! My breakfast is usually something quick like eggs with fruit, a smoothie or avocado toast. We’re a family of four, so if a recipe serves more, it’s either packed up for everyone’s lunch or eaten the next day as leftovers.
