Mom, what’s for dinner?
I dread that question.
I actually love to cook, but coming up with meals
every…
single…
day…
becomes a tedious task. Especially for busy parents. After a full day, trying to scrounge together another nutritious meal that the whole family will like, or at least eat, can seem impossible. Especially if you haven’t planned ahead at least a little bit.
Meal planning itself can be a daunting task.
I’ve tried to Meal Plan multiple times and the problem is, I rarely want to cook or eat what I planned for dinner that night! I get ingredients and then they go bad because I didn’t use them, so I end up wasting time and money rather than saving it. I’ve tried and given up planning so many times. Who actually wants to eat frozen crock pot meals over and over? I don’t. I finally came up with a super simple, flexible system that insures I have a couple of dinner options – that I actually have all the ingredients I need – for some easy, tasty dinners. So I’m not standing at the fridge thinking “What in the world do we have that I can throw together tonight?? Let’s just eat out.”
Instead I can look at my weekly meal calendar and pick one. Or have the kids choose. And know that in roughly 30 minutes (60 at most) I’ll have a delicious, balanced meal ready to feed the ravenous pack!
This meal plan is different!
It’s so simple, you’ll kick yourself for not having created it yourself. You won’t need hours of prep. You’ll have some recipes to choose from (all Paleo, gluten free dinners because that’s what we eat), but can switch them out for any of your family’s favorite meals. Suggestions are included for coming up with nightly meals to add to your week and changing leftovers into delicious new meals in a simple, streamlined process.
AND you get a shopping list for what you should always keep in stock so you’re never out of options.
