And I’ll teach you how!Table of ContentsMeal planning saves you energy:Meal planning makes life easier:Meal planning helps you save money:Looking for a family meal planner that makes things simple? Get my newest book, “Adventures in Meal Planning“!Ok, so let’s break this down and figure out how to start meal planning and make this system work for you! You are basically going to make a meal plan generator for yourself!Take a moment and think about how often you want to plan your meals and go grocery shopping. Every week? Every two weeks? Once a month? The process for how to meal plan for a week and how to meal plan for a month is the same.If you only want to shop once a month, you totally can! But you will also need to get creative when it comes to milk, bread and produce (you can totally freeze them).You can also decide to plan for two weeks or a whole month at one time, but still go grocery shopping every week. Its totally up to you and what works best for your life. You just have to decide and stick with it.Grab a piece of paper and write down all your favorite meals. As many as you can think of! (You can always come &nbsp;back to this later&nbsp;and add more). Hint* Use my meal planning book to help you organize this!&nbsp;The point here is to simplify meal planning and make it as quick as possible for oyu. By creating a master list of your favorite meals, you make it easier to rotate through all the things you love – instead of only being able to think about tacos.Now go back through and organize all your recipes ito sections, either by type of meat or by kind (like casserole, soup, slow cooker, etc). Again, this is to help you rotate through your meals in a simple way but to still give you a variety in your menu.Need recipe inspiration? Head over to my recipe index to grab all the weeknight meals you want to fill out your meal plan!Grab a calendar (or your Adventures in Meal Planning Book!) and decide how many meals you need to plan for, and how many people are eating those meals.Decide if you want to plan out your daily snacking needs or if you want to just grab a few extra things. Our groceries look a lot different depending on school and work schedules, and you need to plan accordingly.Think about the week ahead. What kind of week is it?Are you crazy busy Tuesday with afternoon and evening activities? You probably don’t want to plan on making a brand new 6 hour, 30 step lasagna from scratch that night. You are just asking for everyone to cry, whine, and eventually throw down some cereal for dinner.Is it a hurricane outside? Probably not the best idea to grill.Don’t make things more complicated then they need to be! Plan simple meals on your busy nights!Need help with actually being able to cook your meals? Read How to keep your kids busy so you can cook!Start filling in your menu!This part is essentially just plugging in meals based on your schedule and your favorite meals! Just starting adding them into your meal planning templateAdd one new recipe every week or two, if you feel like trying new things. Not only does this give you and excuse to try out the 16,000 recipes you have collected on Pinterest and torn out of magazines, but it helps you to add new favorites to your list!Take into account using ingredients for more than one meal – roast a giant pork roast and use it for multiple meals throughout the week. If you buy a big tub of ricotta cheese but only use half, how can you add the remainder to your menu?As you place meals in your menu, jot down the ingredients you need on your grocery list. This helps to save time, and helps you realize how you can use your ingredients to your advantage.YES! I mean, really. If you have a doctors appointment at 10:45 and swimming lessons at 1:00, you are not going home to cook lunch. Nope, you are headed straight to Chick-Fil-A, my friend, and don’t even pretend you aren’t. Just go ahead and add it to your calendar!You bet I do!
