"It's so hard trying to decide what to have for dinner every night for the rest of my life."
“I don’t have time to breathe, let alone meal plan."
“Healthy meals are too expensive. We just can't afford to eat good."
I totally get it. Actually, all those are things I've said in the past. As a work from home wife and homeschooling mama to 5 kids, I know what it is to be busy.
Time and again, it's 5:00, I'm standing in the kitchen and I have no idea what to make for supper. Sound familiar?
I created the recipes and meal plan you see here for my family of 7 and now I'm sharing them with you. I go back to it every time I need a little help.
This is a meal plan you can start working on this weekend—and come back to again and again as you need it too!

What Kind of Recipes Will You Find Inside Simple Suppertime?
Real-life meals your family will actually eat—and you’ll feel good about serving.
Protein-Packed:
These meals are built to satisfy growing kids, hungry husbands, and busy mamas alike. We’re talking nourishing proteins like chicken, ground beef, pork loin, and hearty beans that leave everyone full and happy (without constantly snacking 10 minutes later!).
Minimal Ingredient:
No long ingredient lists here. Most meals are made with 5–10 simple, everyday ingredients—many of which you already have on hand. These recipes are designed for ease, not overwhelm.
From Scratch:
You’ll learn to build meals from real ingredients—not processed shortcuts. That doesn’t mean complicated, though! We're talking home cooked favorites that taste like grandma’s Sunday supper.
Kid-Friendly:
These are meals your kids will actually eat (and ask for again!). They’re familiar, flexible, and picky-eater approved. Plus, you can easily adjust spice levels or sides to keep everyone happy at the table.
How long does this course take to complete?
You can complete the whole thing in just one weekend! In about 1 hour, you’ll have your meals planned, your grocery list ready, and a plan for food prepping. All you have to do is head to the grocery store. It’s designed to be quick, doable, and lets you maximize your time spent with your family!
Do I need to be an experienced cook?
Not at all! These recipes and steps are simple enough for beginners but still helpful if you’ve been cooking for a while and just need a better system. This meal plan is fully customizable. If you can follow a basic recipe, you can do this!
Will this help me save money?
Yes! The dinner plan is designed to help you feed your family suppers on a budget with serving sizes for 8 people, without compromising on nutrition or flavor. The key is shopping smart and using what you have! Have a smaller family? You’ll save even more - just cut the recipes in half!
What if I have picky eaters?
Totally normal—and totally covered. Most of the meals are flexible and easy to adapt. You’ll also learn a few simple tricks to help get healthy meals on the table without cooking two different dinners every night.
Is this a physical or digital product?
This is a digital course that includes a printable PDF workbook, recipe cards, and a walk-through video. You’ll get instant access to everything right after checkout. You can print them after purchase, but that's up to you.
