    I plan our week's meals on Sunday morning before grocery shopping. I typically cook 5-6 nights per week, but I work FT and have to figure out a lot of quick and easy dinners to get the kids to activities, etc. This week is:

    Sunday-lasagna (frozen from Costco)
    Monday- Tuscan chicken stew (instant pot)
    Tuesday- tilapia
    Tonight - steak and artichokes
    Thursday- chicken burgers (frozen from trader Joe's)
    Friday- either minestrone or leftovers
    Saturday- probably takeout

    Ours is something like:

    Monday - Pasta w/broccoli (usually box mac-and-cheese; we buy Wegmans store brand)
    Tuesday - Taco Tuesday (tacos made w/ground turkey, store-bought seasoning; corn; rice)
    Wednesday - CrockPot (this is DD's GS meeting night; I'm troop leader & meetings are at our house)
    Thursday - Leftovers
    Friday - Freebie (whatever DD and I want if DH has to work)
    Saturday & Sunday - Depends on DH (DH occasionally wants to order pizza or Chinese; sometimes we get together with the ILs; etc.)

    I do "category" meal plans to save myself time and make my shopping list.
