Welcome to The Southern Bean Queen’s Weekly Meal Plans!
Here, I share my weekly meal plans that help keep me and my family nourished, energized, and ready for anything! As a busy mom and kindergarten teacher, I know how important it is to stay organized with meals while still making time to enjoy good food. That’s why I’ve curated a collection of tried-and-true recipes—some from around the web, others from cherished family cookbooks, and a few I’ve tweaked to make my own. These meal plans are designed to be both practical and delicious, helping you keep things easy and exciting in the kitchen.
The common thread in all of my recipes? Beans! Packed with fiber, protein, and healthy carbs, beans are the unsung heroes of a well-balanced diet. Not only do they help stabilize blood sugar levels, but they also support weight loss by keeping you fuller for longer. I’ve made sure every recipe incorporates beans, because they’re a powerhouse ingredient for both your health and your taste buds.
Since I’m a vegetarian, all of my meal plans are vegetarian-friendly, but don’t worry—meat eaters can easily adapt these recipes by adding their favorite protein. Whether you’re looking for quick weeknight dinners, healthy lunch ideas, or comforting Southern classics, you’ll find a variety of options here. I believe in balance and that food should be a source of joy, not stress. So grab your apron and get ready to try some new favorites that might just become regulars at your table!
