It’s time for another meal planning Monday!
I’ve done my meal planning many different ways over the years.
These days I’m finding it easiest to plan 2 weeks at a time.
It’s the best mix of fewer trips to the store (which always saves me money) and less work than monthly planning.
As usual, crock pot meals are ruling our days. But we are also enjoying more grill foods now, too.
It’s nice to have less hustle in our days now that school is out!
If you’re too busy to do much meal planning in this season of your life, I hope that my plan helps to give you some options you can use.
BUT…
If you’ve had a house full of food and STILL ended up ordering pizza cause you’re too tired to think about what’s for dinner (again)…
It might be time to let someone else take over your meal planning.
And if you can find someone to do it for $5?? Jump on that!
Imagine how much money you’ll save by skipping a pizza night or two…definitely worth the price of the meal planning service. Especially from the lady who brought all of us those $5 dinners for so many years!

If you’ve got a favorite crock pot meal, be sure to tell me all about it!
I'm Jamie, and I want to help you afford a beautiful life with your family. 
Brown bag burritos, ah, I have a feeling this shall be in my future. I’m sure they taste WAY better than frozen burritos bought from the store – as well as that recipe says you can make your own refried beans and hot dog is that something I need to do, ha.
I actually have bean and cheese burritos on our menu for the week, and may just combine these two! ;D
Those burritos are a huge hit with everyone in my house! They are pretty easy to put together, and definitely taste better than store bought.
All of this sounds delish!
What breakfast bars are you doing? S’mores would be a hit here too. So cool!
I’m going to have to post my recipe for breakfast bars some day. It’s really easy and turns out so tasty!
