FREE November Monthly Meal Planner and grocery list

Drum roll please….. here is the November meal planner! This monthly meal planner and grocery list has everything you need to make yummy meals for your family without all the work making a menu and putting together a grocery list!

Monthly meal planner and grocery list

I work hard to balance things for my family. We are striving to eat better, to eat organically, to eat nutritiously, and to eat yummy food! Oh, and did I mention eat on a budget! Our family feels these meals are:

My meal plans are FREE! (Your visiting my site keeps the lights on so to speak, no extra charge!)
My meals are nutritious & well balanced!
My meals are thrifty! (we pinch pennies by making good use of what foods are in season) Groceries cost our family of 5 about $125/week
My food is yummy! (These are all recipes my family loves; we include a dessert once a week and seasonal favorites)
My food is “real” and my family chooses to buy at least the dirty dozen organic! (If you are looking for menus with boxed items, this is probably not for you)

If this is your first time using my meal plan – please read the Monthly Meal Plan FAQs

November Meal Planner

In November our home gardens are being closed up. The meal planner will incorporate seasonal items like pumpkins and gourds and lots of warm-you-up soups. Our meal plan feeds our family of 5. So for all you busy moms out there – dinner is served {and you didn’t even have to plan it!}

First off, because I know you are going to ask, where is the Menu {free} printable? I know I usually have free printables for everything! But I think it will be more helpful to you if you just read the menu {this post} on your smart phone, ipad, or computer. All the recipes are hyperlinked for your convenience! {This is how I am cooking now too}

>> {free} Printable Weekly Shopping Lists <<

You can also pull up your shopping list from your smart phone, but I know sometimes it is easier to print this off to add your own notes {things you already have, add’l household supplies you need, etc.} Each weekly shopping list contains everything you need to make the recipes that week. Easy Peasy!

If you notice a mistake, please let me know so I can fix it. Thanks
