Easy Dinner Ideas for the Week

This is probably the last weekend I’ll get to enjoy the beautiful fall colors of the leaves in my neck of the woods, at least before winter hits. With every gust of wind, they’re floating off of the trees, and we’ve been “oohing” and ahhing” over the glowing oranges, yellows and reds. If I can get to it, I’d like to capture some of the vibrant colored leaves in wax.

We’ve been committing lately to eating at home 90% of the time, instead of eating out, and the only way that this is easily doable with our busy lives, is by menu planning. I have a 3 ring binder that I use to keep my current week’s meal plan, grocery list, coupons and recipes in, and this makes it so easy to keep track of everything. Here are my free printables that I use often, and you are free to use as well:
