Seven steps to successful family meal planning.
“Food for the body is not enough. There must be food for the soul.” ~ Dorothy Day
Meal planning can be challenging whether you’re a family of 2 to 8! It’s tough! Never fear, simple meal planning is here! Now you have to be smiling! :0)
Take time with these seven steps and watch your time in the kitchen decrease by up to half! Seriously…more time away from the cookin’.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Seven Steps to Successful Meal Planning!
- What does everyone like? Have each member of the family make a list as to what they like to eat. Make it fun and a game. Ask things like, what do you eat at your friend’s house, at school, at work, on spring break, at camp, with the “guys”.
- Highlight/Find the similarities on ALL the lists.
- Make a MASTER list of all the LIKES. This is the list you will work from every week. Include categories like main course/proteins, vegetables, starches/breads, dessert, fruits.
- From the Master List, create your weekly meals by using the recipes YOU know how to cook.
- Choose ONE new recipe a week to introduce to the family; however, remember to use the Master list of LIKES.
- Schedule leftovers and night outs. Maybe Wednesday and Sunday are good leftover nights. And Friday is a night out. Do what works for your family.
- Rinse and Repeat from #3, the MASTER LIST of LIKES.
Food will not only become food for your body, but for you mind and spirit too!
