Happy New Year, friends! If one of your resolutions was to start menu planning, you’ve come to the right place. Each week, a few of my blogger friends and I put together a weekly meal plan, featuring 5 family friendly dinner recipes, plus ideas for breakfast, side dishes, and dessert. We’re kicking off the New Year with one pot pastas, stews, and sandwiches we think the whole family will love. Enjoy!
