When I’m planning meals, (you can read all about how I do that here!) sometimes I just run into a brick wall.
I can’t think of anything!
When it feels like I’ve made my family the same 6 meals on repeat for the past 10 months, and inspiration isn’t coming, I need some help! I’m not looking to reinvent the wheel, just introduce a little bit of variety into our week!
That’s when having a general list of all of the foods I usually make is super helpful.
I can quickly look at the list and think, “I haven’t made that in forever!”
Boom. Problem solved! No worries on my end, and my family is happy eating something different.
I’m going to share my list with you here so that you can fight off the dinner monotony too!
Here are 100 meal ideas for your family!
