One of my favorite parts about being a stay-at-home mom is I can plan in the time to make dinner each day. (Most days, anyway!)  I plan my meals out ahead of time, and my children are part of the process. They learn how to cook and get to help at times. These recipes and meal planning tips from fellow stay-at-home moms will have you more organized when it comes to what’s for dinner!

This installment of A Complete Guide for Stay-at-Home Moms includes 14 meal planning tips AND over 25 recipes to try!

Recipes and Meal Planning tips from experienced homemakers.

When we focus on planning what we are going to make early on each week, we can reduce grocery store trips, reduce money spent, and save time! (PLUS, make healthier choices!) 

 

I have included my tips for getting dinner on the table whether you have just had a baby, or have a large family. There is also a great freezer storage printable so if you like to make-ahead and freeze meals, this will keep you organized with what you have on-hand.
