Picture this: It’s the end of the day, and you have hungry mouths to feed (or at least your own mouth). You don’t have the energy to think of what to make or the time to cook something elaborate, but you still want a home cooked meal. What are you going to do??

Don’t even worry because I’ve got you covered! The situation above describes me every day, and I manage to cook dinner for my family almost every night. (We all need to order delivery occasionally…) I started this here blog for this very reason: To share my easy dinner recipes and weekly meal plans so you don’t have to think about what to make for dinner.

Not only have I figured out the recipes for you, I’m also able to help you with your grocery list! Whether you use my suggested dinner menu or want to build your own, you can generate your very own grocery list from there. Then, send a unique link to yourself or someone else who is going to do the shopping, and you’ll have a paperless version of your list to use at the grocery store! You can get more details and a tutorial video all about that on my grocery list page.

For my first few years, I published a new dinner menu every week, and all 190 of those past menus are available right here. Going forward, I’ve decided to make THIS the destination for this week’s dinner menu! That means you can bookmark, pin, or memorize this here page and check back every week to see my suggested recipes for the coming week.

Where do I find the recipes in the photos on the VERY top of this mail? The green beans with chicken looks fun as does the penne pasta dish! (They ALL do actually!) and this latest meal plan looks like the bomb diggedy as well, yay!!!

Hello Andi, I’m a newbie subscriber and I have just saved my first menu plan thank you. I noticed Mary’s comment about diabetes, I’m a newly diagnosed diabetic too. You’re spot on with the restrictions but you could lower carbohydrates too if you want to. Many thanks from the UK Linda x

Andi Gleeson

Thank you, Linda! I’m so glad you found me :) I think you are the fourth person to ask me for diabetic recipes in the last couple weeks. I am going to make time to create a category and label some recipes that I think fit. I will also plan to put together a post of 10 or 15 of my favorites. Stay tuned! :)

Andi Gleeson

Thank you, Nancy! I have a BLTA on the blog, not that it really needs a recipe! I use sriracha mayo on mine. Do you guys like spicy? Then check this recipe!

Andi Gleeson

Thank you, Mary. I had another reader ask me about diabetic recipes last week. I need to look into it more to understand all the requirements. I wouldn’t want to say something was diabetic friendly and have it not really be the case. I’m thinking it’s primarily very low sugar and low carb as well. Let me work on putting a list of recipe ideas together, and I’ll get back to you :)

Hi, Chuckie! I make most of my dinners for two because I feed my kids a simple meal early in the evening and eat these recipes later with my husband. A lot of them can easily be made for two, or else they are good leftover for lunches or dinner the next day. I hope you find some recipes you want to try! Thank you :)
