Plan your dinners the weekend before. Taking a little time to decide what you’re going to eat for the week can save you from having to answer the same question every evening.
The problem isn’t really a lack of food. It’s having to figure out dinner over and over again. But with a good weekly menu plan, you can decide what you’re eating ahead of time, shop for what you need and make dinner one less thing to figure out during the week.
How Do I Get Out of Cooking Every Night?
You don’t have to cook a completely different dinner from scratch every night. Of course, there are always easy options like fast food or a rotisserie chicken from Stater Bros., but there are other ways to reduce the workload too.
A little planning can help you:
- Reuse what you’ve already made
- Turn one main course into several meals
- Save the easiest options for the busiest days

1. Make Meals That Work as Leftovers
Cook enough for another meal instead of starting from scratch the next day. A dinner that reheats well can give you an easy meal later in the week without another round of prep and cleanup.
2. Cook One Main Course You Can Use Several Ways
Cook a roast, chicken or taco meat once and turn it into different dinners throughout the week. Change the sides, sauces or how you serve the meat and you can have a completely different meal without cooking another main course.
3. Plan Your Easiest Meals for Your Busiest Days
Don’t save your most complicated dinner for the night when you have the least time. Look at your schedule before planning the menu and put your easiest meals on the days you know will be packed.
How Do I Simplify the Weekly Dinner Routine?
The easiest dinner routine is one that removes some of the decisions before the week even begins. Planning your dinners in advance means you’re not starting from zero every afternoon trying to figure out what to cook, where to shop or whether you have the time to make it.
A simple weekly dinner routine means:
- No last-minute grocery trips.
- No deciding what to cook after work.
- No relying on fast food because it’s the easiest option.
- No 3rd-party delivery apps or driver tips to worry about.
