I have a large family. Is there any way to change the quantity when printing the recipes?
Yes, when you click print recipe there is a box at the top that allows you to change the servings up or down and the ingredients will adjust.
I have just come across your website and I am impressed. This is exactly what I needed as a large family of 6 trying to cut costs and cook various meals. Thank you so much I can’t wait to get started on week one and work my way through. Bless you 🙂
Love this. I did this years ago when kids were young made shopping easy and never had to think about supper. Now that I’m in a rut I found your site and never gave to think about what’s for supper. Live alone and if there’s no plan I don’t eat or have popcorn for supper.
I wanted to run on auto pilot for a while since I always have to decide what to buy,shop and prepare the meals. Love how the ingredients, and cost are listed. We finished week 1. I am cooking for 8 so I had to double the list and spent $109 at Food Lion.
This is the order in which we liked week 1’s meals.
Tomato Basil Soup (served with crusty garlic bread)
Chicken Fajita pasta (topped with sour cream,cilantro and tortilla strips)
Black bean Quesadillas (served with Mexican rice)
Chicken and Rice (served with steamed broccoli)
Sloppy Joes (served with chips and steamed carrots)
On to week 2. Thank you for this lovely meal plan layout!
So glad you’re enjoying the meal plan!! Can’t wait to hear how week 2 is for you!
Do you have any breakfast meals plans because I love your shopping list for weeks and I need to include breakfast too
We don’t have breakfast meal plans currently but will talk it over as a team! Thanks for the suggestion!
Excited to try these! How many folks does it serve? I have a large family 6adults and 3kids
Most recipes make about 5 servings, so you’d probably want to double them!
Lauren,
I want to express my thankfulness to you for creating such wonderful lists, recipes, and helping out families eat and cook better. I want to tell you you have helped me cook better and I use your recipes every week. I am now printing off your weekly plans, which are truly a gift to all us fledgling cooks. I am with my kids in the summer, and I cook every night for our family. Your recipes have helped me become a better cook, and I am grateful. Such a wonderful site. I hope more people give you the the thanks you deserve. It’s a real gift you give people.
God bless you.
Super excited to try out these meal plans. Total cost was $98 and that doesn’t include anything from the Spices, Pantry Staples, or Other categories. Inflation? Living in Canada? I don’t know. Still relatively inexpensive though. 🙂
Just went to my local Food Lion and the total cost for all the ingredients was more around $60 than $45 but I live in VA so it could be different in other states 🙂 super excited to check these meals!!
