How Many Does it Feed?
It provides five meals that will feed 4-6 (depending on whether you are feeding adults or kids), AND it includes a shopping list!
Why This Works
- Less Last-Minute Scrambling: No more 5 p.m. panic, just a calm, confident “I’ve got this.”
- Fewer Decisions: Take the guesswork out of dinnertime and save your mental energy for everything else.
- Smarter Shopping: You’ll buy what you actually need and waste less food and money.
- Healthier Choices: Planning ahead makes it easier to work in balanced, nutritious meals.
A Little Sweet to Finish the Week
I always include a printable shopping list. Everything is measured out and ready to go. It makes things so easy! Just print it off, grab a pen, and mark things off you already have at home, then you can take you list to the store and get the rest!
Storing Leftovers for Meal Planning
I stick to Monday–Friday because, well, weekends are unpredictable. Sometimes we go out, sometimes we live on leftovers, and I’m not mad about it. Just stash any leftovers in an airtight container and call it a win.
