The weekend is finally here. Time to put up your feet and relax, right?

While it’s a great time to do just that, it’s also a good moment to think about how to make next week a little easier. What little steps could you take today to make tomorrow easier? Well, one of those things is to make sure your peeps are fed well. And a meal plan can help you get there.

I’ve got another free printable meal plan for you to make your menu planning and grocery shopping easier for you next week!

This meal plan is built around a little formula. I chose five dinner themes to give this meal plan some variety without making it too complicated. This week’s plan features Mexican food, pasta, pizza, soup, and a meat and potatoes supper, not to mention a couple of those can easily be made meatless.

I’ve also thrown in a delicious salad recipe, a fun baked good to fill the bread basket, and one of my very favorite desserts in the whole wide world. There are five dinners included in this weekly meal plan so that you can have leftovers one night, go out to eat, or just have a simple sandwich night.

Keep in mind that when this meal plan was originally devised, back in March 2013, I was doing my first Whole 30. That means that I opted out of my favorite dessert as well as the biscuits and pizza. I’ve included some notes to help you make this meal plan gluten and dairy free in case you need to. Obviously, you’ll be making some substitutions if the whole family is going GF/DF. In that case, head here for a different kind of meal plan.

All of the recipes are kid-tested, FishMama approved to be tasty and easy on the budget. When you subscribe to my mailing list, I’ll send you the meal plan as well as my best tips for simplifying meal planning.
