Simple Meal Planning - your free print





If you like the idea of meal planning but have always found it too complicated and time consuming, our most popular Meal Planner is perfect for you!

It's the 'Easy Dinners Meal Planner' - a one page print with spaces to fill in for each day of the week. 



All you have to do is to sit down once a week and plan out a week's worth of dinners:

  • First, fill in what you're doing each day - then you'll know how much time you'll have to cook (and how tired you'll be)
  • Next, choose your theme for each night based on how quickly & easily you need dinner on the table that day
  • Now it's time to fill in the meal and where to find the recipe!

Why this works: The themes are the key to making meal planning quick and easy, so you're not spending hours trying to come up with ideas. It just fits easily with your lifestyle.

  • If you're usually out on a Monday afternoon, make Monday slow cook night and put dinner on before you leave the house in the morning
  • Big day on Thursday? Plan a 'simple dinner' night and do a quick stir fry, salad, or a toasted sandwich
  • Love trying new recipes but never have time to do it? Plan 'new recipe' night for Saturday night when the whole family is home together and no one has to rush off


Once you make it a habit, planning your meals only takes a few minutes each week and saves you time every day. You're prepared - you know what you'l be eating and how long it will take to get it on the table, and there's no more stressful, last minute rush around the shops with no idea of what to cook.


Handy Hints: 
  • Ask everyone in your family to tell you their 3 favourite dinners (ask the kids too!), write them all on a separate page and you have a list of ideas ready to go that can fill any gaps in your meal plan 
  • Save each week's meal plan in a folder as you go and over time you'll have built up a master list of dinner ideas
  • No time to write your shopping list out? Grab your phone and take a photo of the inside of your fridge & pantry, and a photo of each recipe, then read the ingredients from that when you're at the shops!
