👀 MY Meal Plan This Week

Hey friends—we’re almost there. The end of the school year is in sight, and if your house is anything like mine, this is when things get especially chaotic. So first of all—congrats. You’re this close to making it out alive.

To give your brain a break, I’ve planned your meals for the week and included my personal grocery list.

Based on years of feedback, I stuck with what actually works: just 4 dinners (because that’s the sweet spot for most families), plus 1 make-ahead breakfast and 1 prep-ahead lunch. I know the rest of the time it’s usually smoothies, meat sticks, or hovering over the counter with a few slices of Applegate and a spoonful of kraut 😅

I’m hoping to share one of these Make It Good Meal Plans each month, and I’d love your feedback as we go!

Happy (almost) summer break! You’ve got this.

Danielle
