Such a Time As This

Faith, Hope, & Love

10/16/2017

Are you sick and tired of not having dinner on the table?

I thought I would try something new and publish our weekly menu and our weekly meal planner printable.  I get asked a lot how we meal plan for so many kids.  The truth is if I didn’t have a weekly meal plan printable to fill out I would I have trouble staying focused because there is always so much going on.  I do need to remember to buy more milk and bread than I normally want to buy (out of habit, I guess, I sometimes forget we have 7 kids! Ha!)

So, here’s what we plan to eat this week.  I hope this helps you in your own meal planning.  Of course, I’m absolutely positive some of you come up with your own gourmet meal plans, however, we try to keep it simple in our family.

 

We have way too many kids, allergies, sensitivities, gluten free, sensory processing problems and personalities running around to do anything too fancy.  Plus – I really don’t like cooking, remember?

 

So, without making you wait any longer, here is our meal list.  Plus, don’t forget to download your own blank copy of our weekly meal planner printable below.

Meal Plan

Breakfast – Fruit, Cereal, Milk

Lunch – Lettuce Wrap (Turkey & Cheese)

    That printable is so cute! I only have 3 kids and know that meal planning is a must for us, so with 7 kids I know it’s a necessity in your house.
