Need a hand with menu planning?
While menu planning requires some upfront effort, it ultimately saves time. The process becomes easier with practice.
We often repeat kitchen tasks, so planning lets you anticipate ingredient needs and allows you to prep larger quantities for convenience. It simplifies grocery shopping and leads to more balanced meals. Consider organizing your week around themes to streamline planning:
– Monday: Casserole
– Tuesday: Meat and potatoes
– Wednesday: Soup
– Thursday: Another Casserole
– Friday: Italian or Mexican
– Saturday: Grill or “CORN” (Clean Out Refrigerator Night)
Keep your calendar in mind for events that might affect meal planning. When selecting recipes, gather a few cookbooks or favorite recipes to ensure variety and incorporate the four-week method to try new dishes while including everyone’s favorites.
Make a shopping list as you plan to take advantage of sales and seasonal produce. Look for similar recipes to prep simultaneously, reducing cleanup time and filling your freezer with convenient meals.
Using the four-week method, you can double recipes one week and revisit similar menus later, making life easier!
