How Do You Create A Reusable Weekly Meal Planner?
For busy families, meal planning and shopping can be hard and lead to extra dining out expenses (and a little stress sometimes). This article provides a healthy and, potentially cheaper, remedy for weekday meal planning. Pick your 2 busiest weekday nights from your typical weekly schedule. Assign the prepackaged/crockpot meals and the entree dinner salad to those 2 nights. Recruit help from other family menus to get the prepackaged and entree dinner salads going if they arrive home in the evenings before you. For the crockpot meals, pop them in before you leave in the morning. Pick 1 day of the week that you have at least one hour to prepare a homecooked meal. Prepare enough of that meal for 2 nights. Assign that meal to 2 nights (night one will be the night you prepare it and the other night, you can eat the leftovers) Pick a night that you have about 30 minutes to prepare a few bar and grill type appetizers. Assign that meal to 1 night. Make a shopping list based on the 5-day dinner
