Why we love meal planning
- No more decision fatigue. If you agonize over what to make for dinner, then save yourself the headache and let a meal plan do it for you.
- Saves money. Rather than buy a bunch of produce that goes bad or spices that gather dust, a meal plan can help simplify your grocery list and save you money.
- Healthier. When you have easy recipes on hand and a fridge full of groceries, you’re going to spend less time aimlessly munching or, worse, getting takeout!
- It’s fun. Meal planning encourages trying new recipes and breaking out of your comfort zone. But don’t worry; each recipe includes plenty of tips and tricks so you can customize them to your taste buds.
- Add more. Don’t forget to add some breakfasts, appetizers, snacks, and desserts to complement your meal plan. I do suggest 3 each week, but feel free to add more!
How to use the plan
- Read through each recipe and print the recipe card if desired.
- Print or download the grocery list. Note any ingredient swaps or substitutions, and add the ingredients for the optional side dishes or bonus recipes if desired.
- Check your pantry and cross off any ingredients you already have.
- Go shopping.
- Make the meal and leave a review, letting us know how it went!
