In this week’s meal plan, we are using the food we already have on hand to make new meals the whole family loves. Short grocery lists and full bellies make for a happy mama.

This week, please welcome Rachel Knecht and her meal plans! Rachel is a recipe tester here on Simply Recipes and the blogger behind Baking with Rachel.

Usually, we would be getting a much-needed break from school this week for Spring Break. I don’t know about you, but I am still ready for a break!

We’re going to take the week off from distance learning and take a mental break from the routines we’ve created for sanity’s sake. This week I’m going to use my pantry to the fullest while still offering homemade dinners to my dear family. I’m making the most of staples such as pasta, tuna, and cheese.

I hope this week’s recipes help use the food already in the pantry so you can take time to take care of yourself and your family. Be kind to yourself this week!

One last thing: We wanted to highlight the ultimate way to save time in your week: having your groceries delivered right to your door. Click on the red “Add to Shopping List” button at the bottom of any recipe (or meal plan) and check it out! We call this feature “Relish” and we’re into it because, really, dinner can be simpler.
