What I Made for Dinner This Week (recap & reviews) + last chance to save 25% off!!

I’ve been doing the Eat at Home Challenge this week in partnership with the Eat at Home Menu-Planning Service. And I have to tell you, this has been SUCH a blessing to our family this week!

We had a really, really busy week this week and having dinner made in the slow cooker every morning has been amazing. It’s been so simple (most of the recipes only require 5-10 minutes of work!), it’s been fun to make the recipes on live video, and we’ve really enjoyed the recipes.

In fact, we have loved this service so much that we’re planning to continue using it and our family puts a BIG stamp of approval on it (scroll to the end of this post for a coupon code if you’d like to try out the service!)

Here’s what we made this week:

MondayCrockpot Cantonese Sweet & Sour Pork Chops — Jesse LOVED this one. The kids thought it was so-so. Watch me make it live here.

TuesdaySlow Cooker Smoked Sausage & Sauerkraut Soup — Jesse and I thought this was really yummy. Two of the three kids liked it, too. Watch me make this recipe live here.

WednesdayItalian Seasoned Salt Chicken in the Slow Cooker — The kids really loved this one. Jesse thought it was okay. Watch me make it live here.

Thursday — Beef Shawarma in the Slow Cooker — Jesse and I really loved this one. The kids weren’t as excited about it. Watch me make this recipe live here.

FridayTilapia with Garlic Cheese Sauce — This one smells like it’s going to be really yummy! We haven’t eaten dinner yet, otherwise, I’d let you know! 🙂 Watch me make this recipe live here.

Why I’ve Fallen in Love With the Eat at Home Menu-Planning Service

The Eat at Home menu-planning service is an incredible way to help you save time and save money. You don't have to worry about planning menus OR grocery list, because Tiffany does all of that for you as part of her menu-planning service.

She has designed it specifically with busy families in mind and the menu plans offer:

The recipes can all be fixed quickly, with only a few minutes of hands-on prep. Because the recipes use common pantry ingredients, it's likely that you have everything you need to make many of the recipes.

It's so convenient because all the work is done for you! You just choose which menu plan you'll use, print the grocery list, go shopping, and then spend a few minutes prepping food each day and dinner is D-O-N-E!

Watch the end of this video here to see more details of the membership site and what you get when you subscribe.

When you sign up for the plan (it's just a few dollars per week — or less!), each month, you'll get:

  • An entire month of Traditional Menu Plans, including weekly grocery lists and printable recipe instructions
  • An entire month of Slow Cooker Menu Plans, including weekly grocery lists and printable recipe instructions
  • An entire month of Whole Food Menu Plans, including weekly grocery lists and printable recipe instructions
  • Each menu plan comes with recipes created for small family (3-4 servings) and large family (6-8 servings)
  • Color-coded grocery lists make it easy to swap out ingredients or whole meals
  • Printable Menus to hang on the fridge or near your calendar, so you can easily see what's for dinner that week and your family can too
  • Access to the entire month at once!
  • 1 Hour Freezer Stash Plans – a new plan each month to stock your freezer with 6 meals in 1 hour!

You can choose to stick with just the traditional menu plan or just the slow cooker menu plan or just the whole foods menu plan. Or, you can rotate different menu plans on different weeks, depending upon what you feel like cooking or how much time you have!

Last Chance! Get the Eat at Home Menu-Planning Service for as Low as $1.21 per Week!

If you struggle to make menu plans and would love for someone to make them for you + make a grocery list for you, it's well worth spending a few dollars every week to let Eat at Home do the work for you.

This week only, when you sign up for their plan (either the monthly plan, the quarterly plan, or the yearly plan, you can get 25% off by using coupon code MSM at checkout!

That makes the done-for-you menu plans and grocery lists just $1.21 per week. And you get access to all three plans and the freezer cooking plans for the whole month at the rate!
