I don't know how many times I have heard the cry "What's for dinner?" My usual response is an eye roll followed by scrambling to throw something together. I can occasionally make a healthy and nutrious meal other times we have macaroni and cheese from a box.
Now I love to cook and I am getting better every time I try something new, but if I really want to improve my culinary prowess I had better learn to plan ahead.
While surfing through Pinterest I found a doable and easy way for me to menu plan. With a little tweaking I can make it work more specifically for my family.
Sunday- Crock pot day. Cook roast, chicken, or something with bones so I can continue to cook broth throughout the rest of the week.
Monday- Casserole day. Use the leftover meat from the previous night.
Tuesday- Soup day. (Pretty handy to have that bone broth now huh!)
Wednesday- Vegetarian day. Or at least mostly vegetables.
Thursday- Sandwich/wrap day.
Friday- Breakfast for dinner. Let's be honest, who doesn't love that!
Saturday- Crockpot beans. (Also cooked in the bone broth)
This list gives me a basic idea of what to have each night but its vague enough so I can switch it up and not eat the exact same thing every week.
Another huge bonus, grocery shopping will be easier because I already know what we will be eating so I know exactly what to buy. No waste= money saved!
