This is an incredible resource! One thing that has helped me a ton is the Paprika app. I love finding recipes on the internet and it adds them to the app so you can access the recipes off-line and if the creator changes anything, you still have the original recipe you saved.
Love this post! I’m a big meal planner and use a variety of sources to put one together each week. I got sick of my kids complaining of the menu so I let everyone pick one meal (I can veto if I feel inclined). I love trying new recipes so I’m often browsing Pinterest and follow some food IG accounts and love new cookbooks.
A big shopping list game changer for me is using my Alexa to compile shopping lists for each store I go to. Then I always have my lists on my phone when I’m out and about.
Thank you for this! I don’t know why coming up with dinner ideas is so hard for me, but it is! We do themed nights too, and just today a friend showed me the app Mealime, which has recipe ideas and will compile a grocery list sorted into sections. I haven’t tried it yet but plan to this week!
So many great ideas- thank you! I do some of the same things as you… ;) I love your simple theme ideas and how they aren’t tied to a certain night. I think something loose like that could help me!

That sounds extremely useful!
Looking into what “smart lists” are now!!
They’re a game changer.

Another great idea. I always try to get input from my kids but they literally like spaghetti, mac n cheese, and snacks.
All the snacks 😂

That’s a great tip! We have an echo show in our kitchen so I need to try it out.
I love when other people share their meal plans or what they're making. Anddd going to check out smart lists immediately.
Same! I borrow a lot. It’s easier than reinventing the wheel.

It makes it so much easier if you’re in a rut to think hmm what kind of pasta or taco can I easily make?
