Meal planning is my least favorite part of the week but makes a huge difference in so many ways.
Just thinking about coming up with something to cook every single night after work gives me anxiety.
But doing it all at once?
Still gives me anxiety but at least it’s only one time a week instead of seven🤷♀️
I have done many types of planning from creating a six week rotation of meals, creating a meal list to pull from before going to the store, just thinking up my favorite meals and even planning meals based off my cycle. Each way worked for the season of life we were in.
Right now, we’re in a maintenance phase so our meals are whatever sounds good but they are still planned before we week starts. What works for us is a board on the fridge with each nights meal written down - so I know what to shop for, what to pull out of the freezer and how much time I need to cook & so Kale doesn’t have to ask me the ever hated “wHaTs FoR sUpPeR?”
If you’re wanting to stop spending money on fast food after work. This is a game changer. Pair it with meal prepping and you’ll be in stoppable 👏👏🔥
