What We Should Learn from How Homemakers Used to Meal Plan I’d also highly recommend you check out the following post – There are a few things you need to solidify before you dive into making a menu and shopping list. Let’s get to planning those meals, shall we? Meal Planning Basics The portions, recipes, and printables are geared toward big families, but even small families will find things that work for them too! There are tons of suggestions, ideas, printables, and tips for feeding your family on this page. It’s a one of these sizes will fit YOU menu plan. This page isn’t a one-size fits all menu plan. So, I’ve had to learn to revel in the aspects of meal planning I enjoy, and find creative ways to tolerate (and even learn to love!) the aspects I don’t enjoy as much. I have little people – they need to eat – the end. The thing about having a large family is that someone ALWAYS wants to eat, and meal planning is a fact of life I cannot escape. Conversely, I hate taking the time to plan, I hate shopping, and I hate cleaning up the mess I make in the kitchen. I love finding new recipes, I love trying new things, and I love eating.

Meal planning is one of those homemaking things I have a love/hate relationship with.
