This week is going to be a fun one, and here’s why:
I’m giving everyone this week’s Simple Meals plan for FREE!
(Also, I’m going to blog this week about how I’m using the plan. Stay tuned!)
Why am I giving this week’s plan to you? Simple. I want you to see how great it is.
My biggest goal with Simple Meals is to help you save money, time, and energy so you can enjoy spending more time with your family. Did you catch that? It’s not just about spending more time with your family. It’s to help you ENJOY spending that time with your family.
Sometimes we get to the end of the day and we’re so exhausted that even if there is time to spend, we’re too tired to enjoy it. Been there, done that? Me too.
Each week Simple Meals plans show up in your inbox as if to say, “Here you go. Your thinking, planning, and list making have been done. Also, here are some bonus recipes and time-saving tips. You will love this week’s recipes. Now go enjoy your family.”
I’m giving you all this week’s Simple Meals Planning Packet because want everyone to see why being a part of Simple Meals is worth it! Also, I love you and it’s fun to give you free stuff. :)
So here you go.

I’ve been cooking with this particular plan and taking pictures to show you during the next few days to detail how this plan works for our family. I don’t know what I would do without it, seeing as in the past eight nights in a row, we have been on the run – from meetings to Bible studies to basketball games to church activities. Plus, we spent a day helping our disabled friend move across town, I had appointments out of town one day, and our church hosted 150 kids for a youth rally all weekend, 13 of which stayed in our home for two nights.
This mama needs Simple Meals. (and a nap.)
The days with our children at home are long, but the years are short. I’m staring that reality straight in the face as my kids so suddenly have been turning into men, one right after the other. I want to enjoy putting food on the table for them, but more than that, I want to enjoy laughing at their jokes and listening/watching/cheering/praying for their work and activities and life journeys.
No matter your season in life, whether you have little bitties who require a lot of attention and care, or you have big kids you’re trying to keep up with, or you work full time, or you homeschool, or you are involved with ministries, or all of the above and more than the above – let’s do what we can to enjoy what God has given us. I believe much of this begins with keep our real food meals as simple as possible.
And that, my friends, is why I created Simple Meals.
Try it for free this week! Utilize it for YOUR specific family’s needs. That’s one of the best features of Simple Meals. The planning is done, but you can quickly organize it to suit your family’s needs for each week.

Faith Dossett says
Laura, thank you for offering the opportunity to win Simple Meals!! After printing off this week’s free meal plan, I would love to have a year’s worth, all planned out and just waiting for me. I love your blog and visit daily, and I also have the book that you wrote several years ago. Thank you for all the homemaking advice and recipes that your blog provides, as well as a chance to “visit” with you.

As to why I would love Simple Meals, I think it’s because I’ve tried other meal planning services that just seem too complicated for not enough results. This plan doesn’t seem complicated and I think my family would appreciate it more than the other ones I’ve tried.
Teresa Youngblood says
I love a meal plan. I use a meal plan. I just put way too much time into making the meal plan and the shopping list to go with it. This would be a big help.
Jessica says

It would be good for me to have someone tell me *what* to make ~ I don’t mind cooking, but it’s the deciding what to have that I seem to spend the most time on. Thank you!
Amanda says
This looks excellent, thank you!

Thanks Laura for putting this together, and for giving us all a chance to try it out! Love your blog and your servants heart. It keeps this Mama of 6 coming back. I am always telling people about some new recipe “my friend Laura ” came up with.
Laura says
I’m excited to give this a try! I’m a mom to three littles and we’re in our first year of homeschooling. Eating real food takes so much time in the kitchen! Time that I don’t always (ever?) have. I’ve really enjoyed your simple recipes but having to not decide what we’ll eat everyday would help that much more. :-) thanks!
K Ann Guinn says
Thank-you, Laura, for your generous offer! I’m sharing this on my Facebook blog page today. :)

Katie says
Afternoons have gotten crazy! There is never enough time to make the things I used to make. The shift has been difficult.
Leah says
Thanks for giving me a chance to win!!
Jennifer Knox says
Loving this Simple Meals plan because it is real food. Not a complicated and overly long list of things to go get at the store. Basic tasty things that my people will eat and won’t break the bank. We have yet to try a recipe here that we don’t like.
beetree says
I would love to try this! For some strange reason I have a great fear of committing to a meal plan :/ hoping this will help!
Andrea says
This is great timing! I just started working full time after being at home for 10+ years. I have been trying to come up with a simple menu plan to get a healthy meal on the table quickly after a long day. My plan is not working for me yet. Thank you, Laura!!
