What if your Sunday meals didn’t feel rushed, expensive, or stressful?
What if you could walk in the door after church, gather your family, and serve a warm, home-cooked meal—without blowing your budget or scrambling for drive-thru?
That’s exactly what this guide was made for.
Inside you’ll find 15 full meal plans, created by a faithful woman in our church who’s been serving her family Sunday dinner for years. Her meals are simple, filling, frugal, and full of love—and she graciously allowed me to share them with you.
This guide isn’t just a list of recipes. It’s a gift—born out of community, consistency, and care. Whether you’re a busy working mom or a ministry family running straight from church to chaos, these meal plans are designed to help you pause, prepare, and enjoy your people.

Why These Meals Matter
I know what it’s like to pull into the driveway on Sunday afternoon—everyone tired, hungry, and hoping there’s something in the fridge that resembles a meal.
Even for our small family of four, eating out just once after church can cost $60 or more. That adds up fast—and for many of us, it’s just not sustainable.
So I turned to someone I’ve admired for years—someone I’ve seen faithfully cook for her family every Sunday—and asked, “Would you be willing to share your meal ideas with us?” And she did. With generosity and joy.
These 15 meals have become a life-saver in our home, and I pray they will be in yours too.
Still Not Sure? Here’s a Peek of the Meals You’ll Find:
– BBQ Chicken with Cream Potatoes, Broccoli-n-Cheese, and Baked Beans or Green Beans
– Roast with Baked Beans, Carrots, Potatoes, and Corn
– Pepper Steak with White Rice
– Chicken and Dumplings with Biscuits
– And so much more…
If you’ve ever stood in your kitchen at 5 p.m. wondering what to feed your family—this is for you.
