  • and Meal Planning for Beginners

Meal Planning Tips for Busy Moms:

  • Share main ingredients with another meal. Use browned ground beef and onions for 2 meals and save lots of time.  Ground beef tacos and ground beef stroganoff. Brown enough meat once and use twice.
  • Have a list handy of your favorite meals that take no more than 20 minutes to prepare.  Spaghetti and frozen meatballs.
  • Always cook more than you need so you have plenty of leftovers for lunch or even another meal.
  • Don’t everything start from scratch. Use prepacked foods like rice and even mashed potatoes to get dinner on the table quicker.
  • Have a dedicated leftover night and plan for it.

Why Plan Out Your Monthly Meals and Use a Weekly Meal Planner?

Saves tons of money and how about less stress for you!

You know you should be cooking at home more often but coming up with weekly dinner ideas can be exhausting!

One of the most stressful feelings is having no idea what to prepare for dinner and then winding up at the drive thru window yet again! Sound familiar?  Well, we can help!

We all want to stay healthy and have home cooked meals on the table every night for dinner, but for many reasons this is difficult to do.

We hear you! It’s not that we don’t want to plan healthy meals, it’s just that life is hectic and who has the time to plan and cook meals every day with everything else we have to do?
