Weekly menu plan ideas for dinner during this busy season. Brought to you by family food bloggers.

 

Hello Friends! I hope this week finds you well. This week I have been busy with holiday shopping, Christmas crafting and gift wrapping. If you follow me on Instagram, you can see some of my gift-giving activities in my IG stories. This time of year I am very mindful of our household budget because we tend to blow it a little around the holidays.  I love finding ways to give a meaningful gift, while still staying within budget.

Speaking of budget, these dinner ideas are easy on your wallet. Grocery bills tend to climb this time of year too, and planning ahead really does save money. So here it is...

Weekly Menu Plan Ideas

Make a big batch of these Apple Cinnamon Pancake Muffins from My Fearless Kitchen, and you'll have a grab-and-go breakfast ready all week!

This Balsamic Beef Roast from Kimmi's Dairyland is the perfect thing to make to kick off a busy week!

Make tonight super-simple with this easy Chicken Green Chili Quesadilla from Organized Island.

Winter Wednesdays call for serious comfort food. This Slow Cooker Cheesy White Turkey Chili from My Fearless Kitchen is the comforting meal you need!

You've almost made it to the weekend! How delicious does this Instant Pot Braised Short Rib Poutine from The Crumby Kitchen look? Make it tonight, just because it's Thursday.

Friday night is pizza night! Have more fun and make it at home with this fantastic Cheesy Meatball Pizza from The Shirley Journey!

Who can forget dessert? This Cranberry Cheesecake from Desserts Required will have you in the Christmas spirit in no time!

Take the weekend off, enjoy your leftovers, or eat out. We’ll be testing more recipes for you in our own kitchens!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
