My meals this week picked by my family

2024/11/15 Edited to

... Read morePlanning meals can often feel overwhelming, leading to decision fatigue. To alleviate some of this stress, involving family in meal planning can be a fun and inclusive approach. This week, my family took charge, and their selections included exciting options like Copycat Applebee’s Wonton Tacos, classic BLTs with fries, and tasty Steak and Shake-inspired dishes featuring garlic naan. This method benefits busy families by not only simplifying meal prep but also catering to diverse tastes and preferences. Utilizing budget-friendly ingredients while ensuring variety helps create balanced meals that are enjoyable and satisfying. Encourage your family to share their favorite recipes or adaptations from beloved restaurants, as this can rotate your weekly meals into something fresh and delightful. When each member has a hand in choosing what to prepare, it increases the likelihood that everyone will enjoy the meals together, fostering a stronger family bond at the dinner table. Embrace the idea of a collaborative approach to meal planning!

What we ate this weekAs a family of 7 on a budget!
We tried a sirloin roast from Costco. Which I picked up for $36. It fed us four meals! Definitely worth the cost. We also celebrated 2 birthdays. And hunkered down from the cold. 🥶 #cheapfamilymeals #costcoshopping #familydinner #familymealplan #familymealsonabudget
