Lauren,
These are amazing time savers! Thank you for making them available and for free!
I’m so glad I found you! I absolutely with an intense passion dislike cooking. The prepping and pre planning needed just make me want to scream. Your meal plans with shopping lists help take care of most of my complaints and irritation and the fact that most of the meals take 30 minutes to make is even better. Thank you thank you thank you sooooo much!
Thanks so much Danielle–I hope they will help you!
Thank you so so much for this!!!
Hi 👋🏼 I’m loving your meal plans. Yay to cooking more and spending less 🙂
Lauren, I just found your site tonight and I am SO excited because I have been looking for such a meal planning program. Thank you for creating this wonderful, wonderful program. I have always made my meals by scratch. However, I am now older and live alone and it is hard nowadays to even want to cook. So I shall try to adapt your meals to fit into a weekly plan for a single woman. Thank you, thank you! God bless you for all you do for so many people. What a beautiful, giving heart you have! Kitty
Thank you! I just retired and am cooking for my mom mom and I only now. It’s been hard to stay on budget! But your meal plan is a lifesaver! Making my list now for next week..
It makes me so happy to hear it’s been helpful for you! Thanks Cyndi!
Hi, how many do these meals feed? Are the portions fit to feed your large family?
Each meal will feed 4 adults (or a family with small children, like my husband and I and our 3 younger kids)
One of your meals calls for milk but it isn’t on the list. Just thought I’d let you know.
Thanks for the input. I updated the shopping list!
Do you have a template for the meal plan & grocery list?
I don’t have one I can share, sorry!
Is there any way to go back and get your previous meal plans and lists. I am loving this but just found this gold mine.
Hi Charlene,
I have more than 45 pre-set meal plans on my site. You can find them all HERE!
I’ve also recently added a new feature that allows you to pick your own meals from my website and “save” them to your meal plan! Then you will received a grocery shopping list with all the ingredients you need to make every meal you chose! It’s an awesome free feature! See more about it HERE.
Hey how do I find this feature you mentioned? That link isn’t taking me there. Thanks!
Hi Julie,
There is a link to “Print Meal Plan” that takes you to the shopping list and separate links for each featured recipe.
