Why Should I Meal Plan?
Meal planning isn’t just about what’s for dinner—it’s about making life smoother and more enjoyable. Here’s why it works for me:
- Less Stress: Knowing what’s on the menu takes the guesswork out of mealtime, so you can relax and focus on what matters.
- More Variety: Planning ahead lets you mix things up and try new recipes without falling into the same dinner rut.
- Family Time: When dinner is sorted, there’s more time to sit down together and enjoy it.
Give it a try—it might just become your new favorite habit!
Side Dishes for Dinner
My weekly meal plans always include a printable shopping list that is measured out and ready to go. It makes things so easy!
Storing Leftovers for Meal Planning
I only meal plan Monday-Friday because we sometimes have plans over the weekend, or I have leftovers that we can have to finish off the week! If you do have leftovers, make sure to store them properly in an airtight container in your fridge.
