Enjoy this May meal plan with a printable calendar and easy, family-friendly recipes.
It’s May! I was reading some old blog posts the other day from the early COVID days. Man, am I glad that’s not in full swing anymore. Such chaotic times we lived through. And my family had it good compared to most people. We didn’t have any deaths or even major bouts of illness. But I still don’t want to go through that again.
In March 2020, I had a 7-year-old, 6-year old, 4 year-old and a 3-year old. Fast forward and they’re now 9, 11, 12, and 14. These days have a lot more moving parts with schools and sports, but somehow that’s still less chaotic than those early COVID Days. My recipes are mostly the same as they were then; just in different quantities these days. We’ve introduced some new favorites, to be sure, but Menu Planning allows me to keep what we like without spinning out. Plan with me! Whether you use this one or one you make yourself, a menu plan will bring you more peace in the kitchen. Want a menu plan that’s even more simple than this one? AND includes a shopping list? Try this one: ‘Incredibly Easy 5-Ingredient Meal Plan and Cookbook’ available on Amazon!
