Weekly Meal Plan for Busy Families (2024)

I’ve been there. Let me share good news with you,it gets better.

But first, let me share with you the story of how I got here.

It was 2012, the baby on my hip was crying, my older two were hungry, cranky and bickering nonstop becauseit was getting late and they were ready to eat.

I was staring at the fridge close to tears because I’d forgotten to thaw chicken for dinneragainAND the veggies I bought earlier in the week for a fresh side had already wilted.

To top it all off my husband wouldn’t be home from work to help for another two hours.

Something about that night broke me.

It wasn’t really about the chicken.

It was the feeling that I was failing every single person who was depending on me in that moment.

While I can no longer recall how I pulled off dinner that night (maybe it was pancakes, maybe it was a drive through)I can remember the way I felt that night like it was yesterday.

While in one sense, it was an ordinary Tuesday night, in another way it would change my life and my family forever.

Weekly Meal Plan for Busy Families (2)

Hi, I’m Laura Fuentes, a working mom of three and for the past 10 years I’ve been creating family-centric meal plans for moms.

I have three rules when it comes to selecting recipes for my meal plans:

  • The RecipesMUST BEtasty andkid-friendly.
  • TheyMUST BEeasyenough to make while having a toddler dance party or helping with algebra homework.
  • TheyMUST BEmade with simple,healthy ingredients that are easy to find.

Following this template, I’ve now made a weekly meal plan for myself and thousands of other familiesjust like yours, across multiple time zones ever since that stressful day in the kitchen all those years ago.

Fortunately, that night, I found myself at a crossroads andI decided to make a change that would allow me to be the fun, happy mom that I wanted to be.

I did not know it at the time, but a huge daily stress would be lifted off my shoulders.

Maybe you’re at a crossroads too.You know you cant keep repeating the same nightly stresses BUT creating a meal plan from scratch with untested recipes is not a sustainable strategy.

Why? It’s time consuming, it takes effort to find recipes your family will eat, leaves you with unused strange ingredients that don’t go with any other recipes, and often costs you more money and time than the old way because the process is so INVOLVED.

The MOMables family meal plan solves all of these problems for you.

We are committed to our members’ success and offer aFREE 6-Video Courseto help parents make mealtimes easier.

How many servings per recipe?

The Dinner recipes serve 4 people. Some recipes will serve 4-6, and will always be noted.

Most of the recipes inside the Classic Meal Plan can easily be adapted for a gluten-free diet easily by using gluten-free ingredients such as gluten-free bread or pasta, for example.

Do I Really Need a Weekly Plan?

Great question. Here is what you need to know:

  • HAVING A PLAN WILL SAVE YOU TIME.The 1-2 hours a week spent searching for recipes you’ll rarely make, selecting the recipes with similar ingredients, making a list… BOOM! It’s done-for you.
  • HAVING A PLAN SAVES YOU MONEY.The last thing you want to do is get home and figure out what’s for dinner. Or worse, ordering and eating out because you have nothing planned. With a meal plan, you can buy in bulk and be prepared.
  • PERFECT FOR BUSY FAMILIES. For days when we get home late it’s nice to have a meal waiting for you in the slow-cooker. And with our meal prep sheet, you can prep the next meal in just a few minutes.
  • HELPS YOU EAT MORE NUTRITIOUS FOODS.When you have a plan, you make healthier eating choices. With our meal plan, you’ll eat a variety of foods throughout the week, and not the same meals on rotation.
  • ELIMINATE FOOD WASTE.Did you know that up 40% of most family’s food ends up in the trash? The best way to cut down on food waste is with a meal plan. This is both better for the environment and your wallet.
