This is a project that I’ve been wanting to put together for years! Meal planning is a lot of work and I’m always looking for ways to make it easier, but still effective.
Over the past 2 years I feel like I’ve come up with a really great system that works for me and is easily adaptable for when life gets a little crazy.
I know that feeding a family and making sure they get the proper nutrition can seem daunting, but it really is a matter of establishing good habits.
So I’ve put together a Printable Meal Planning packet that I’ve been using and tweaking for a couple months. This packet makes meal planning easy and flexible–if you want it to be!
If you are looking for a healthy meal plan that is all filled out for you, then this packet will definitely make your life easier! There are 4 sample weeks completely filled out with healthy ideas for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snacks.
There is also a Healthy Meals list that you can use to supplement the meals planned with additional fruits, veggies, dairy and grains.
I just stick my Healthy Meals list up on the fridge for easy reference.
If you are more like me and need some flexibility, I’ve got a complete list of dinners with links to quality recipes for a whole month and I’ve provided a bright blank meal calendar for you to plug in meals that work for you!
You can use the blank weekly calendars if you like to plan 1 week at a time… Or you can use the monthly calendar. Really, it’s up to you!
If you have any feedback on these printables, I’d love to hear it in the comments below… But for now, go and grab your February Meal Planning Printables and get excited for the upcoming month!

Thanks Emily!!
I need to get better at doing this! I love this idea….for those nights when you just can’t think of what to make.
I love having an easy list to refer back to! Makes stressful nights so much easier!
I am book marking this for later!! This could help a lot.
I sure hope it does!!
I need to get better at meal planning, Thanks for the inspiration.
You’re welcome! Hope it helps!
I LOVE this! Not only is it going to keep me organized, but I think it will help save money at the grocery store and will help me pre-plan it all out for the entire month. Then I’m not constantly trying to think up new ideas for dinner the night of. So awesome!
Definitely! When I don’t plan I always spend more because I just grab anything that sounds good to me at the time. Ha ha!
As a total list-maker, I really appreciate this meal planning printable! Thanks so much.
You’re welcome Kim!
Love this!! Something I could use everyday.
Thanks Britni!
Thank you so much for sharing these! Serving healthy meals is so much easier when you pre-plan!!
I agree! Thanks for stopping by Becky!
This is great! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome!
Very helpful! I always try to plan my meals ahead, because we definitely eat healthier that way!
Yes! I agree, we definitely do too. I feel like its easier to keep the kitchen stocked with healthy food if you have a plan!
This is awesome! I need this to be better organized!
Thank you! Good luck!
I love this! I am always so much happier when I meal plan!
It makes life a lot easier and stress free!
Such an awesome printable!
Thanks Jillian!
I need to be better at meal planning, these printables are so cute!
Thank you Aimee!
I love this! I am always looking for ways to organize our menu!
Thanks Emily! Hope it is helpful!
Love the printables! I also love the idea of creating a list of snacks. Afternoon snacking is always my downfall so I really need to get more disciplined as to what I stock up on. Thanks for the suggestions!
Even with a list it is hard sometimes. But I definitely think it helps to have a list! 🙂
These are great! I do a weekly menu plan, so these will totally help.
Thanks! I hope they do!
I absolutely LOVE your system! Love, love, LOVE it!!! Thank you so much for sharing so we all can benefit!
Thanks Yvonne! And no problem at all! 🙂
I really need something like this, it seems like planning out meals is the first thing to fall to the wayside when life gets crazy!
I agree. I have to work at it! This system makes it a little easier!
