My Must-Have Tools I used in this Meal Plan!

  • This meat chopper is my go-to for breaking up chicken perfectly when prepping Baked Chicken Meatballs.
  • This 9×13-inch baking dish is perfect for layering and baking a batch of warm, cheesy Ham & Cheese Sliders.
  • I always reach for my cast iron pan when making Black Pepper Chicken—it cooks everything evenly and adds great flavor.

I absolutely love this website! I tell everyone I know about it, I am a busy mom of 4 that works in a hair salon with about 25 other stylists and you better believe I share these recipes and this website with them and my clients. I love that you have put this together and have helped me be a better shopper, cook and budgeter! Thank YOU!

Hi Lauren,

First of all, thank you for putting together this amazing site. I love to cook and try new foods. However, I am one of those people that too many choices make me anxious, so I end of making the same four or five dishes. The shopping list is also a great tool.
