Weekly Meal Plan to Print & Cook – On the Go Meals

Spring activities are in full spring, meaning rushed dinners and busy nights. Take the load off with this easy meal plan to print and cook.

I don’t know about you, but with spring in full gear, meal times are a little crazy around here. I’ve had several moms with kids in sports and activities say the same thing. And heck! Even if you don’t have “activities” that require your attention, once the weather starts to warm up — and it will — you don’t really want to spend a lot of time inside.

At least I don’t.

Neither do you want to spend a lot of money or calories on fast food. That’s why it’s imperative that you have an “on the go” menu at the ready. Try this free printable meal plan on for size.

Not only do you get kid-friendly meals, but you also get dinners that are easy to make and serve (ie casseroles and crockpot) or things that can easily be packed to take on the road, to the rink, or to the field.

This week’s menu includes some of my kids’ all-time favorite meals, so I know I won’t have to battle to get folks to eat up. Total win.
