A couple notes:

1. My goal is always to have a diversity of meals throughout the week, with something on the plate that everyone likes, and without spending more than 30 minutes of effort on any given meal.
   
2. There is no reason for the order of these meals, so if you want them in a different order or you want take out on a different night, then please make that shift. These meal plans are based on my preferences and our family’s routine.
   
3. On weekends, I keep things very easy: 1 night of take-out and 1 very simple meal that I can pull out of the freezer, for the most part. I don’t assign these to days because I know that this is the most unpredictable part of the week. We may spontaneously make dinner plans on Saturday, and I don’t want to feel like we HAVE to go home and cook whatever protein is sitting in the fridge waiting to be cooked.
