Meal Planning and Recipes on Family Fun Friday

Welcome to Family Fun Friday!

Family Fun Friday is a collection of Family Friendly posts to help families connect. Whether it be through encouragement, homeschool printables, craft ideas, family activities or delicious family recipes, our goal is to promote family togetherness.  We hope you’ll stick around a while and check out some of the great ideas you see here.

Thanksgiving is on the way and Christmas is just around the corner!  I love the holidays!  We have extended family coming for Thanksgiving and we’re really excited about seeing them.  

With the holidays in mind, this week I’m featuring Meal Planning and Recipes to help you get organized.  

The first step to successfully preparing meals for your family is, PLANNING!  Real Life Health shares with us 6 Simple Steps to Meal Planning, a practical guide to getting started.  

Often, when we think of Meal Planning, we just concentrate on dinner.  But, what about the rest of the day?  Clare. at Super Mommy Club, shares with us 10 Make Ahead Breakfast Casseroles.  Perfect for holiday company! 

Sarah, from Sarah’s Cucina Bella, has 25 Easy Chicken Drumstick recipes.  Drumsticks are super “budget friendly”!  I love having new recipes for old favorites.

Laura, at Sunny Day Family, shares the perfect way to plan…freezer meals.  13 Freezer Meals in 2 Hours!  Imagine how much time that would save.

Since we can’t eat chicken everyday, Sarah also has beef options.  18 Tasty Beef Recipes should give you lots of great choices.

And, last but not least….Julie Anne from More Excellent Me, shares with us 10 Ways To Use Left Over Halloween Candy…because I KNOW we ALL have some.  Such fun ideas!
