Brand new on this week’s Meal Plans – new 3-4 serving sizes!

I’m really excited about this addition to the Weekly Meal Plans.  We’ve added a 3-4 serving size plan for both the Traditional and the All Slow Cooker Plans.  This means that each week, you’ll receive 4 plans to choose from!

The new smaller serving plans are the same recipes, only adjusted to feed a smaller family.  We didn’t just cut the ingredients in half.  Instead, we made adjustments so that you won’t have half cans of ingredients left over.  Where that wasn’t possible, we’ve given instructions for freezing or storing extra ingredients for the next time.

In the case of slow cooker recipes, it’s also best to use the right size crockpot.  Use a 5-6 quart slow cooker for the 6-8 serving size plans.  Use a 4-5 quart slow cooker for the 3-4 serving size plans.  This will help prevent overcooking your dinners.

If you have a smaller family or a family with very young kids who don’t eat much, you’re going to love the new 3-4 serving option!

I printed the Traditional Meal Plan for myself this week and spent $105.78 shopping the list at Walmart.  Of course, I did add our breakfast and lunch items to the list, which raised the cost.  (I also bought new pj’s for my daughter, some candles and yarn for a new scarf.  None of that is included in the $105 cost.  Please tell me I’m not the only one to get distracted in Walmart and add things to the cart that aren’t on the list.)

I also have extras of a few of the items.  For instance, the list calls for 1 pound of ground beef but I bought 2 pounds.  It’s just as easy to brown two pounds and then I have some in the freezer for another meal.

I’m also liking being able to move between the All Slow Cooker plan and the Traditional plan, depending on what we’re in the mood for and how busy the week looks.

You can see the main dishes for each menu below.  If you sign up to get the Meal Plans delivered to you, you’ll also receive side dish suggestions and recipes.  And, of course, the complete grocery list for each plan and printable recipes.

I shopped with the All Slow Cooker list yesterday.  I love printing the list and knowing exactly what I need to buy.  And I love filling the crockpot in the morning and knowing that dinner is taken care of, no matter how crazy the day gets.

Here’s a sneak peek at the meals on each menu for this week.  Subscribers will also get side dish suggestions, along with cooking tips.
