Why Should I Meal Plan? 

If you havenโ€™t tried planning your meals ahead of time, this is going to be a game-changer for you! Hereโ€™s why I swear by meal planning:

  • Time Saver: No more 4:00 PM panic about dinner. With a menu plan, you know exactly whatโ€™s on the menu, what you need, and how long it takes to cook.
  • Money Saver: Prepare to be amazed โ€“ meal planning works wonders for your wallet. When you organize your shopping list for the week, then youโ€™ll easily spot opportunities to buy in bulk and creatively repurpose leftovers for future meals. Itโ€™s a clever approach that keeps more money in your pocket.
  • Bye-Bye Takeout: When meals are planned and groceries are stocked, youโ€™re less likely to hit the drive-thru. Because you are cooking at home, that means more savings and healthier eating. Win-win!

Side Dishes for Dinner

My weekly meal plans always come with a printable shopping list that is all measured out and ready to go! It makes things so easy!

Storing Leftovers for Meal Planning

I only meal plan Monday-Friday because we sometimes have plans over the weekend or I have leftovers that we can have to finish off the week! If you do have leftovers, make sure to store them properly in an airtight container in your fridge.
