Dinners I Fed My Family of 5 Last Week (Feb 9)

dinners I fed my family graphic

Welcome to my series, “Dinner I Fed My Family of 5 Last Week.” The goal is to help busy moms meal plan with ideas for dinners and a grocery list. Amazing, right? I love this because I make my grocery list for dinners and I just give you all the information afterward. Win, Win!

When meal planning, the grocery list is the hardest part to make sure you get everything you need without overspending. This list does not include school lunches for my kids. For those, it’s pretty straight forward– they like deli sandwiches with a fruit, veggie and chips. If you want to be sure to get that stuff too, be sure to add that to the grocery list I provide.

Below I have the meals I made with instructions under them, links to the recipes or links to how to make it on my Instagram. Be sure to follow my Instagram so you don’t miss out on recipes and motherhood.

Keep in mind, I meal prep so I make this and then we reheat the leftovers throughout the week too.

cheeseburger soup

This is one of those soups that if the weather is chilly and we have a night in, I crave this! It’s delicious, simple to make and helpful for meal prepping. Here’s the recipe and how you make it.

To make this, I use rotisserie chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch, tortillas, lettuce and shredded cheddar cheese. Chop the chicken up in cubes and in a medium bowl, mix it with ranch and buffalo sauce. Assemble and roll them up tightly. Store in an airtight container and they’re ready to go! Here’s a how-to video if that’d be helpful.

I love Taco Bell, but if I want to make it at home, I can. Here’s the recipe and how to make it.

I posted this recipe back in 2019 and it was immediately one of the most popular recipes on my website. I was tagged so many times with people making it and I love seeing that! Here’s the recipe and how to make it.

Now let’s move to the part that is MOST helpful, the grocery list! Below is the grocery list so take a screenshot and grab the items you need. Come back to this blog to see all the recipes throughout the week.
