I have a new Monday routine where the Youngest Princess takes gymnastics and I have time to update the calendar and plan our meals. At first, I thought it was going to cause me to lose momentum but it turns out having to sit down and watch her {I don’t just have my head buried in a notebook}, causes me to pause at the beginning of the week to amp up my to do list, manage our comings, and goings and best of all plan what will be for dinner on the Royal Table. I don’t always follow our meal plan to a T but there’s a relief in knowing that we have all of the items to make meals all week long that we need. That way, we use the groceries we have and stay out of the drive thru.
Don’t forget I have a newly designed Meal Planner to help you in your meal planning and grocery list endeavors.
Without further ado, here’s what’s for dinner on the Royal Table this week:

Grilled Burgers
Roasted Red Potatoes {in the crockpot right now!}

Planning meals was definitely one of the biggest keys for success in our paying off over $127K in debt. Often I swap days or side items to make our menu plan work but the main purpose is to make sure I have everything on hand I need for meals throughout the entire week. The less you go to the store, the more money you save!
What are you having on your Royal Table this week?
