Does the school year have you panicking about what to make for dinner? It shouldn’t! These easy weeknight dinners are perfect for busy school nights, and won’t leave you stranded in the kitchen all afternoon. They’re kid-friendly and parent-approved, and go from grocery bag to dinner table in 29 minutes or less!

By the time I’ve finished writing, editing photos, making graphics, responding to emails, and everything else that goes along with running a full-time blog, my brain and body are emotionally and mentally exhausted. The last thing I want to do at 5pm is spend another hour or two in the kitchen making dinner and cleaning up!

During the school year, life gets even busier.

Granted, we don’t have kids just yet, but I can’t even imagine trying to juggle the school pick-up line, soccer practices, AND get home in time to prepare supper for everyone. The drive-thru lane practically begs us to stop by for a pre-made burger and diet coke.

But eating meals at home is one of the best ways to cut down on the food budget, and there’s no better way to avoid takeout then an arsenal of quick dishes to rely on when both time and money are tight. That’s why I created the Simple School Night Suppers Printable Meal Plan — to have my favorite easy weeknight dinners all in one place!

Every dish I’ve included is not only kid-friendly and parent-approved, they also won’t leave you stranded in the kitchen all afternoon. Plus, all 6 meals can be made for less than $30 — that’s a week’s worth of simple, thrifty, and yummy dinners, plus plenty of leftovers!

This Printable Meal Plan Includes:

1. Six delicious recipes that go from grocery bag to dinner table in 29 minutes or less.

• 15-Minute Mac & Cheese
• BBQ Joes
• Ham & Jack Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
• Flaky Biscuit Pizzas
• Crispy Popcorn Chicken {that’s baked!}
• The Best Chicken Wraps Ever

2. Printable shopping list with all the ingredients you need to make each recipe.

3. Fifteen side dish ideas that mix and match with any School Night Supper and take just minutes to prepare.

4. Weekly meal planning printable to help you plan out dinners and snacks.

The School Night Suppers Printable Meal Plan is designed for a family of four, so if you have more or less, you’ll simply need to adjust the amounts accordingly.

Where to Get It:

I’ve purposefully priced this meal plan at $2.99 so it will be affordable to everyone. For less than a cup of coffee, you’ll get everything you need to make busy school nights a lot simpler! Now whenever your kids ask “what’s for dinner?” you’ll know exactly what to make.

You can grab the printable meal plan as an instant download by clicking HERE, or on the graphic below.

I can’t wait to hear how much you enjoy these recipes, and I’d love for you to share a photo of what you make and tag it #schoolnightsuppers on Instagram or Facebook. Or if you have a yummy meal that can also be made in 29 minutes or less, feel free to share that with me too. I’m always looking for ideas!
