Love this meal organization list. It would be so helpful. I’m a mom of 5. My favorite easy dinner is chicken in the oven with a butter and herb seasoning from Costco and some chopped onions. Everyone loves it.
YES! These are spot on...if I get comments on how organized I am, my response is always that I have no choice but to be organized as a homeschooling mom of five! We just wouldn't get anything done without it.
We make tostadas often. You can use whole pinto/black beans or mash them. The toppings are all simple and great for each member to put on themselves: ground beef, shredded cheese, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, sour cream, salsa. YUM! Thanks for the tips.
Homeschooling mom of 5 here. I’ve gone from totally disorganized to ship shape as I implemented routines. Meal planning is HUGE. I will never go back. I keep a list of easy winner slow cooker dumplings meals for those busy nights. They make the whole family happy! Thank you for all these tips! I love the acrylic menu idea!
We are all about easy meals. As a mom of 7, time is limited. A few of our staples are tacos, sloppy joe bake,and chicken bacon ranch made with rotisserie chicken.
I don't have a quick meal to share, but I have a month of meals planned out and use those same meals every month. It takes off so much of the mental load for me! Under it is a list of our favorite meals so if I do want to switch a meal out I can do it really easily
Mississippi Roast (chuck roast, packet of au ju and ranch dressing, stick of butter, Pepperocini peppers- crockpot, low for 8-12 hours) mashed potatoes and roasted veggies. We always enjoy it!
I love making breakfast for dinner such as breakfast burritos. And I like to rip up the tortillas and mix them in the eggs, sausage, and cheese to make the meal even faster.
Pretty much anything in the crock pot! We love meatballs with BBQ sauce & grape jelly, or chicken tacos with taco seasoning & salsa! Super easy & yummy :)
Our go to is salmon bowls- roast some veggies (we like brocholi and kale) and bake salmon with Trader Joes Soyaki. Do rice in the IP and serve with crunchy chilis, yumyum sauce, green onions, or soy sauce.
We love Salsa roll ups! Shredded chicken, fajita seasoning, a bit of cream cheese, and a shredded cheese of your choice rolled up in a carb balance tortilla and topped with some salsa. You bake it off quick. My picky twin girls and my pickier husband both love them and they are done start to finish in 25 minutes.
Spaghetti with using large Italian sausages cut up vs ground meat. The flavor is next level and feels heartier. I also make the sauce really quickly-sautéed onions and garlic, petite diced tomatoes, salt, cream.
Our quick meal is chicken burrito bowls with rice, black beans, sliced bell peppers, chicken, and guacamole. If I need it to be really quick prep, I get the grilled chicken breast strips in the refrigerated section at Costco.
My easy go to dinner is kielbasa sheet pan dinner. You chop up kielbasa sausages and any veggies you want into 1 inch pieces, and then bake at 400 for 20ish minutes covered in oil and spices. So yummy and veggie loaded!
I love sheet pan meals. Chop some veggies, throw on in some meat and seasoning, throw it in the oven. I also love crockpot chicken or beef ...season and use for sandwiches or tacos :)
One of our favorite easy meals is rice bowls with chicken and various toppings (cheese, mandarin oranges, pineapple chunks, coconut, sliced almonds, chopped onion, chopped tomatoes, soy sauce, etc). Everyone can use what toppings they prefer. I use my instant pot to cook the chicken and rice so not many pots/pans to clean up.
I’m a pen & paper kind of gal too! 😏 An easy go to dinner for us, family of 6, is thai peanut chicken in a crockpot from family fresh meals. Peanut butter, chicken broth, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, onion, yellow pepper, honey, lime cilantro, (salt/pepper) & chicken thighs on low for 6 hours. I make rice in my rice cooker to go with it- it’s an easy crowd pleaser! 😊 LOVE your channel- I thank God for your precious & faithful life living all for His glory! 🙌🏻
easiest meal in my home is actually breakfast! I can whip up some bacon and eggs so quickly and pancakes or biscuits are pretty quick too and always seem to make everyone happy! Even in the hot summertime every (all five kiddos) seem to love when we have breakfast for dinner!
My easy go to dinner for my family is venison spaghetti or venison chili....I keep those ingredients on hand all the time so I can defrost vension and make it on the fly. Super easy.
I find cheeseburgers to be my easiest go-to bc I can make them without having to consult a recipe. I can cook all the frozen patties at the same time on my electric non stick skillet. Meanwhile I chop lettuce, slice tomatoes and onions, avocado when I have it. Put the cheese on the patties the last minute of cooking to melt and serve on buns with mayo and ketchup. Usually chips and grapes on the side. For my low carb hubby, I serve his meat chopped up on a bed of lettuce with all the toppings.
Quick dinner over here is throwing rice in the instant pot and cooking up ground beef! Some family member add Asian BBQ and others like making taco bowls!
Love your meal board!! My favorite meal (mother of 9) is to fill my crockpot with chicken breasts, cover with salsa, cream cheese, taco seasoning. Simmer all day. This can be served in flour tortillias for tacos or served over rice and beans or even served on tortilla chips as nachos. Very versatile! Less than 5 minutes to get it going in the crockpot!
Favorite meal is sheet pan meals, any veggies, any protein, S&P and some other seasonings and Olive oil then bake! Usually 375 for 30 ish mins…. Bonus! You only dirty one pan! 🙌🏻
I'm a mom of four, I don't plan our meals formally- but would be willing to try doing this. I make Jasmin rice everyday and like to make black beans with avocados and make instant lentil soup.
I love making pasta in the instant pot! I use the saute button to cook up ground turkey or ground beef, then break up pasta and add in pasta sauce and water to cover. Then 5 minutes on high pressure and it's done!
Love an acrylic board as I have one on my fridge for just "things to do around the house". I myself am a paper and pen kind of gal who is an old school type person all around :-) Great idea for a menu board as I could see me buying one for that purpose. I am a homeschool mama of 3 little boys and an easy and simple dish we like to do is tater tot casserole. Just cook 1 lb. hamburger, mix a can of chicken condensed soup, add some shredded cheese (any kind) layer frozen tater tots in a 9x13 pan but spray your dish so it doesn't stick first off. And then I sprinkle more tater tots on top and add more cheese and bake at 350 for 1 hour. Enjoy! It's more of a hearty man's dish as they can't seem to get enough when I bring this dish to events :-)
This was encouraging to remember the “why” to be organized. Our favorite family recipe is Giada’s white bean chicken chili. I’m trying to use the slow cooker or IP more. I’m having trouble staying organized with shopping lists. I think it’s so funny with all the apps I have tried or use for this function and you point out the notes section of our phones! Lol!
Thank you for this organization video of yours. Thank you for the generous giveaway. Go to meal for family is baby back ribs in crockpot and Bush's baked beans and buttered corn.
We homeschool and have several children in sports. One of my favorite meals are breakfast burritos. We can take it on the go when we need to, We can eat it for any meal of the day, it's full of everything we need all in one and it's great to make a bulk amount a head of time to just keep in the fridge. I've been really working on meal planning alot more for everyone's sake.
Our homeschool family and working parents go-to meal is salmon patties (healthier version)--eggs, sourdough bread crumbs, Mediterranean seasoning, and fried in small amount avocado oil. Served with steamed broccoli and mac and cheese! Great tips!!!
I love this meal planner!! I could use it more than anything as I am a momma of 3 rowdy boys who currently lives in our camper 😮 we homeschool as well so anything to help be extra organized in this small space would help! Our easy go to dinner meal is tacos with homemade salsa!! ❤ love your channel!
Meal planning is something I've done for years now! I always prefer to write it down in a notebook or now, my planner that I love! That way I can always look back and reference it when I can't come up with something to eat in later weeks. I have a board on the fridge too that I can write it for everyone else. One of our favorite go-to meals is creamy tomato tortellini soup! So healthy and delicious.
I use the notes section on my phone all the time, too! My go-to meal is putting chicken breasts on a large baking sheet, fill the rest of the sheet with root vegetables, drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Bake at 425* for 20 minutes. Then, I’ll add fresh green beans and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the entire pan. Bake an additional 10 minutes. Delish!! And my whole family loves it!
My go-to meal is Crockpot Roast Beef - very quick and easy. Mix 1 envelope Italian dressing mix, 1 envelope Ranch sessoning mix, and 1 envelope brown gravy mix in 2 cups of water. Pour over roast in the crockpot. Cook on high 4 hours or low 8 hours.
Easy go-to dinner: baked ham and swiss sliders! It uses Hawaiian rolls for the buns, and then of course ham and swiss on the inside. On top there’s a glaze made of butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, onion powder, and salt. It’s super easy to assemble, then baked in the oven at 350° for close to 30 minutes (20 covered, 7 uncovered). Super yummy and simple!
Roast chicken in airfryer. We have a double basket airfryer so I throw veggies in the other basket. And the airfryer completes them both at the same time. Sooo easy!! Edit to add: 10mins prep.
Love all these tips! The only thing I don’t do on a regular basis is to meal plan. This organizational tool would come in handy. My favorite quick meal is ground beef with taco seasoning! Ready in 30min. 😊

Your tips are GOLD! My go-to easy dinner is Korean beef over jasmine rice (made with broth for extra protein). I also add a quick carrot salad over the top. It’s a quick & easy dinner, nutritious & everyone likes it!
Put the kitchen to bed yesss! Also pen and paper girl here. I’d be lost without my planner! Favorite easy dinner for our fam of 6 is probably tacos with rice and refried beans. Easy peasy for those nights we have to get out the door for extra curriculars!
We have three easy meals that all six of us like! Tuscan chicken from SFM with bow tie pasta, spaghetti, and Trader Joe's orange chicken and veggie fried rice.
My easy go to meals are taco’s, cheeseburger casserole or some sort of stir fry. I keep chicken already cut and ready to use in my freezer along with peppers. And of course there’s always breakfast for dinner.

This set would be a perfect addition my planning. 🙌🏽 oh and our quick family dinner is sourdough pancakes and sausage. 👌🏽 I completely agree with putting the kitchen to bed!! Such a game changer for the next morning.
We have chickens so an easy go to meal is a German pancake with bacon or sausage and fruit! Uses up lots of eggs and gives a better amount of protein than typical pancakes would.

Yes to putting the kitchen to bed! It makes such a difference. One of our favorite quick weeknight meals is sheet pan quesadillas. I don’t have the time to make individual quesadillas, one at a time, in a skillet for everyone. So this is a one and done type of meal. Quick, easy, and yummy.
As a homeschooling mama of 4 these tips are essential. 🥹 I also have a newborn so dinner planning is a must. My go to dinner is definitely spaghetti and meatballs with Rao sauce. So easy and delicious. ❤

An easy go-to meal for us is chicken breasts in the crock pot, topped with taco seasoning. Let it cook all day and then shred up for tacos at dinner time.
My favorite go to dinner is a simple grilled chicken sandwich. A quick marinade on the chicken and stick on the grill or GFG and serve on hamburger buns or I like the sandwich thins. We serve with fruit or cut up raw veggies. So good!
Great tips! My go to meal is currently creamy herb chicken. It is super quick to prep and put in the oven. My kids would thrive off of having a weekly menu. I can’t tell you how many times I get asked about dinner plans in a day.

I completely agree with putting the kitchen to bed!! Such a game changer for the next morning.
My go - to is. Instant pot butter chicken. Fam fav and love for nights heavy with activities.
We have chickens so an easy go to meal is a German pancake with bacon or sausage and fruit! Uses up lots of eggs and gives a better amount of protein than typical pancakes would.
I struggle with meal planning but when I do, it helps my week go so much more smoothly. Pasta dishes are ways easy so I always keep pasta, sauce and meatballs on hand so if I need something quick, we all know what meal we are having
These are very useful tips. My favorite go to meal is breakfast for dinner! Thanks for sharing.
Love these tips! Literally making a calendar right now to print out. My favorite meal that’s quick and easy is one pot marry me chicken pasta!! I sauté veggies, cook the pasta, cook the chicken, do it all in just one pot and it is so simple! Always a hit and we always have leftovers ❤️
Loved this! I have to go to bed with a clean kitchen. I literally told my family tonight that waking up to a clean, shiny kitchen makes for a happier mom. My favorite go to meal is chicken and roasted veggies.
My go to meal for our family is white chicken chili in the instant pot! Game changer for one of my families favorite meals.
Thank you for doing this! I’m loving reading through these comments.
Great video! My easy go to meal is chicken stir fry with veggies and white rice. P.F Changs sweet and spicy sauce over the meat and veggies. Homeschool mom of 5, this is so helpful ❤
Easy go to dinner for our family is tacos! Ground beef seasoned with our favorite (siete foods taco seasoning), crunchy taco shells, refried beans, and all the toppings! Thank you for doing this giveaway, Ashlee!
Yes to putting the kitchen to bed! It makes such a difference. One of our favorite quick weeknight meals is sheet pan quesadillas. I don’t have the time to make individual quesadillas, one at a time, in a skillet for everyone. So this is a one and done type of meal. Quick, easy, and yummy.
As a homeschooling mama of 4 these tips are essential. 🥹 I also have a newborn so dinner planning is a must. My go to dinner is definitely spaghetti and meatballs with Rao sauce. So easy and delicious. ❤
Yess to all these tips! 🙌 I do all of them and it's the only way I can function with a family of 8 😅 our go to meal is baked salmon with roasted veggies and rice/or mashed potatoes (depending how fancy I'm feeling) 😅
My favorite easy family meal is breakfast for dinner!❤
Very helpful video, thank you!
We love chicken burrito bowls in the instant pot on a busy day!
My go-to easy dinner is tacos! They are one of the only meals that ALL 6 kids will eat without complaining. It’s easy, simple, and I make a giant batch of all the ingredients so that we have leftovers to heat up for the next day.
Loved this menu! I got an erin condren planner inspired by you. Now I just need to be more disciplined to use it! Haha
Go-to meal for us is probably taco bowls. Just taco meat, rice, and fixings!
Love these tips and the cute meal planning boards🩵 We do beef stew in the crockpot every Sunday and it’s been so easy to plan for and have on hand through the colder months!
Thanks for sharing!
As a busy pastor's wife and homeschool mama (6 kids, ages 9-17), these tips are great! I already follow most of them but need to get on top of meal planning! An easy go-to meal for us is chicken breasts in the crock pot, topped with taco seasoning. Let it cook all day and then shred up for tacos at dinner time.
My favorite go to dinner is a simple grilled chicken sandwich. A quick marinade on the chicken and stick on the grill or GFG and serve on hamburger buns or I like the sandwich thins. We serve with fruit or cut up raw veggies. So good!
Great tips! Much appreciated! 😊
My go to quick meal: Butternut Squash Chili!!!
It’s so quick and delish!!
Great tips! My go to meal is currently creamy herb chicken. It is super quick to prep and put in the oven. My kids would thrive off of having a weekly menu. I can’t tell you how many times I get asked about dinner plans in a day.
Easy dinners for us is soup. Ham and potato, smoked salmon chowder, chicken noodle are our favorites.
