30 Easy Winter Meals

As we’re beginning a new season, I’ve updated my monthly meal list with more winter-appropriate recipes. These 30 Easy Winter Meals are our family’s favorite soups, casseroles, slow cooker meals and more! This time around, I grouped the meals by the categories I use: vegetarian, chicken, beef and pork.  Learn more about how to work your meal plan categories with my Menu Plan Mind Mapping.

Working off a monthly meal list is saving me so much time, because it’s easy every week to choose meals off the list, make my grocery shopping list after seeing what we have on hand or in the freezer, and run that errand. Done! I try to have very few meals that require me to stand at the stove during dinner hour; I like to spend some time prepping casseroles ahead of time (even freezing them) so they’re ready to go on a busy night.
