Keep it simple

KEEP IT SIMPLE, If you just don’t think you can plan out three meals a day, that’s okay. Try planning dinner for each meal of the week, and make enough so that there are leftovers for lunches all week long. Use the same ingredients more than once. This is hands down the best way to reduce food waste.
• Prepare ingredients ahead of time. Know that you’re making rice bowls later in the week? Make the rice or other grains ahead of time. Cook chicken in the oven to make pulled or diced chicken for later in the work week.
• Keep a well-stocked pantry and spice drawer. This is another huge one. ALWAYS make sure you have a variety of spices on hand. Also make your pantry/fridge is stocked with staples like butter, olive oil, onions, garlic, tomatoes, pickles, hot sauce, mustard, vinegars…you name it, It makes life so much easier when you go to make a recipe and see you’ve already got most items on hand.
• Keep a well-stocked freezer. Personally we like to buy in bulk when items go on sale, we love a variety on hand. If you have all of these items on hand you’re less likely to buy food out because you KNOW you have a ton of options to satisfy any cravings you have! And that will be cheaper in the long run!
• Go easy on yourself. Sometimes life happens, and that’s okay. Your meal plan is meant to help you stay organized and take a look at your week at a glance, not to rigidly lock you in – there will be some days you just don’t want to cook, and that’s okay. Being prepared helps get you back on track again the next day though.
