Eat at Home | Save Time and Money with Easy Meal Planning

“She looks well to the ways of her household.” Proverbs 31:27

This post may contain affiliate links. You can read my disclosure policy here.

Today I’m sharing one of my favorite ways to make meal planning easy with one of my favorite resources for busy moms. Eat at Home meal planning service makes dinner time easy with just three simple steps.

Ever look at the clock and realize you have exactly 30 minutes to figure out what’s for supper and get it on the table before running out the door to your kids game? Yeah. Forget it. Chick-Fil-A or Taco Bell can seem really tempting and a whole lot easier.

With two teens (girls no less) still at home, school time just adds more to my to do list and it can be a challenge to find my groove. One thing I know for sure though is that meal planning saves me so much time and money – and if someone else can help me figure out the meal planning for me? It’s a win win!

I know you are looking for the best solutions for your busy family and this simple solution my just be what you’re looking for.

If you sign up today, you get 30% off for the life of your membership. That can add up to some amazing savings over the course of a year!

Don’t Spend Your Weekend Meal Planning

Weekends should be for spending time with family, having some fun and relaxing.But a lot of us end up spending time doing chores like meal planning and grocery shopping.

What if you could outsource this task and have more time to spend with your family?

Eat at Home Meal Plans takes care of all the “thinking” part (which is arguably the hardest part) of dinner by giving you the meals, recipes, grocery list and more!

The recipes are simple and good too – there’s even a whole category of 15 minute meals for your busiest days!

Eat at Home Meal Plans are on sale this week! These plans can simplify your life. .

You guys! Just three easy steps and dinner is done!

  1. Choose from one of the FOUR plans members have access to: Traditional, Wholesome, Slow Cooker or the No Flour/No Sugar.
  2. Shop with the color-coded grocery list. (You can even order your groceries online and have them delivered!!)
  3. Cook the simple recipes. I love the slow cooker, Instant Pot, 15 minute recipes and more!

These plans can save you time and money each week. Use the code YES at checkout to save 30% off the regular price – just click here!


If your family is like most American families, finding time for family dinners on a regular basis is a challenge. As children get older and your days are filled with more activities, finding time to sit together around the table isn’t easy, but it’s super important!

related: How to Feed Your Family Well

The one constant in every single day is that we have to eat. And since we have to eat, I want to eat good food. Like every day.

I want my kids to remember eating good food at home. And I want them to cherish memories of us sitting at the table together enjoying a delicious meal and fellowship together.

Unfortunately, for the average American family, meals are often eaten alone or in the car. Studies have shown that for the average American, one in every five meals is eaten in the car, at least one fast food meal is eaten every day, and families eat dinner together less than once a week.

When families eat together, kids tend to eat more fruits and vegetables. Families who eat dinner together are more likely to eat healthier and to encourage their children to make good food choices. This also means your kids will be less likely to be overweight.

However, if the television is on during dinner, kids are more likely to be overweight at a younger age. So turn off the television and spend time talking.

Obesity in children has become a real issue as nearly 1 in 5 adolescents are overweight which puts them at great risk for health issues later in life.


Let’s Face It

We’ve been talking about family dinner and getting it done easily, because let’s face it…

Between sports schedules, work, school, picky eaters and busy family life dinner can sometimes get left out of the picture.

10+ Meal Planning Resources for Busy Moms @ AVirtuousWoman.org

What we’d all want is to sit down with our family for a few minutes at the end of the day and reconnect with one another, while having a good meal.

Getting there can be hard though!

But Tiffany, the creator of Eat at Home Meal Plans has put together plans that work for real families like yours. With recipes that easily fit into your busy day, common ingredients you can find in any grocery store and shopping lists that are easy to use, these plans solve the dinner problems we all face.


Here’s what some fellow members have said:

The 15-minute meals are a lifesaver with my teens playing sports, we are still able to sit down and eat dinner as a family each night. I’m so glad I took a chance and tried this! ~ Teresa H.

Oh my goodness…this plan enables us to actually plan meals and save money! There are so many options available which makes it really easy to please even the pickiest of eaters! Also, love the grocery lists included with the plans! Talk about easy!! And, you use everyday foods that my family enjoys. 🙂 ~ Lori E.

Not gonna lie. 2020 was a hard year. And not just Not gonna lie. 2020 was a hard year. And not just because there was a pandemic. Our family has faced many trying times in the past but 2020 gave us some doozies.  I’m looking forward to a new year. The beginning of the new year always feels like a fresh start to me. It feels like HOPE.  But the truth is, whatever heartaches and hardships you and I were facing on Dec. 31 will most likely still be there on Jan. 1.  That’s why it’s hard to keep New Years resolutions. It’s easy to feel motivated for a few days or a couple weeks until we realize life hasn’t really changed and things are still hard.  But if we want to see real change it takes hard work and real effort. It takes showing up every day - even when it’s hard.  Whether that means working on your fractured relationships or setting healthy boundaries or cultivating self disciple... whatever that hard thing is that you need to work on ... it will only get better if you work on it.  We aren’t promised an easy life. But we are promised an “Ever Present Help in times of trouble.” Psalm 46:1  *

We’re coming into the new year with all the same We’re coming into the new year with all the same problems we had in the last year. And that’s okay! Life doesn’t have to be perfect to still be amazing. Perfectionism is a joy stealer. Let’s determine to enjoy life right now in all its messiness.  I believe you can find freedom from perfection and the confidence to live your life with purpose. #purposenotperfection  #christian #Jesus #love #quotes #quoteslife #quotestoliveby #godisgood #votd #lifequotes #inspirationalquotes #life #motivationalquotes #inspiration #bible #bb #bestoftheday #happiness #wordofgod
🏠 Being a homemaker is such an important role. 🏠 Being a homemaker is such an important role. It’s a ministry to your family and all who enter your home.  But I want you to know: You don’t have to be perfect. ❤️  There’s a fine line between teaching your children to be neat and insisting on perfection. No one can meet that kind of standard and it can be detrimental to the emotional health of your family.  What we want for our homes is to provide a space that is neat and clean enough that your family and friends feel comfortable and well loved.  There is freedom in accepting the fact that you’re not perfect. Not to make excuses for slovenliness - but to give yourself grace.  It’s when we recognize our weakness that we find ourselves reaching out to Jesus to receive the power that comes only from him. As homemakers, when we can find grace for the moment when we accept His Gift.  “But now for a brief moment grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us an escaped remnant and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and grant us a little reviving in our bondage. Ezra 9:8  Let His Grace wash over you, cleanse your weary heart. Homemaking isn’t about creating a perfect space. It’s about creating a home where loved ones feel cared for and nurtured.

❤️Your attitude about homemaking matters.⠀
⠀
A homemaker by definition is someone who manages and makes a home. 🏠⠀
⠀
But, anyone can clean and organize a home. ⠀
⠀
☑️ Homemaking is about more than checking off the items on your to do list.⠀
⠀
Learning how to be a homemaker means you learn how to make your home feel like haven of peace and love. You seek out ways to make your home feel inviting. You work at it.⠀
⠀
There is no easy button for homemaking. There are easier, more efficient ways to do chores, but the chores still have to be done. If you live in a house, you will create the need for the house to be tidied every day and cleaned on a regular basis.⠀
⠀
Having the right attitude about homemaking is the first step in learning how to be a homemaker.⠀
⠀
The good news is, even if you’ve been struggling with your homemaking, you can always go to God and ask Him for help. ⠀
⠀
He sees the unseen work of your hands. And He loves you very, very much. He wants to help you succeed. ⠀

🙏 If you’ve found it difficult to have a regu 🙏 If you’ve found it difficult to have a regular time with Jesus every day, you’re not alone. Lots of busy Christian women struggle to find time for a daily prayer and devotion time. ⠀
⠀
But I still want to encourage you to start your day with God! ⠀
⠀
⏰ If it’s hard to spend 30 minutes in the morning for a quiet time, I want you to remember you can still begin your day with God – even if that means saying a short prayer before your feet hit the floor in the morning.⠀
⠀
✝️ I also want to encourage you to memorize this verse:⠀
⠀
“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.⠀
Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.” Psalm 143:8 📖⠀
⠀
In the morning you can recite this verse and say a prayer. It doesn’t have to take a long time. Although – if you do have time – you will be greatly blessed by spending more time in prayer and devotion.⠀

⠀⠀
📌 If you're looking to make this holiday season really special, you need to be intentional. Goodness knows 2020 has had a lot of ups and downs. And maybe you feel like it's been mostly downs. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
🎄 But the holiday season is a chance to focus on celebrating the life we have right now. Things don't need to be perfect for us to celebrate life right now!!⠀⠀
 ⠀⠀
☑️ Inside the pages of my Purpose 31 holiday planner, you'll find 8 weeks of planning and cleaning all laid out for you. Recipe pages, journaling pages, and more - 120 pages total. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
✏️ The Purpose 31 Holiday Planner is by far one of the most popular resource I produce each year. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Thousands of women have downloaded it over the last four years I've offered it.⠀⠀
 ⠀⠀
So, even though it's early still, you can go ahead and downlaod it. Print it out and then set it up so you're ready to go.⠀⠀
 ⠀⠀
I usually take my holiday planner down to Office Depot and have them spiral bind it with a plastic cover for about $5.00. This year, though, I just bought a new 3 ring binder at Walmart, printed off extra cover pages to slip in the clear sleeve, and created a binder with it. ⠀⠀
