In life we all would probably agree that in order to pull something big off successfully, we should pre plan. Whether it's life altering things like getting married or having kids, or life helping things , like cleaning out the garage or planting a garden - it always goes better with a plan. Now for all the "spur of the moment" type people, don't quit what you're doing...just add this at times. In meal planning it is essential.
I used to hate when 3:00 would come around, because I never knew what I was going to make for dinner. That was one of the biggest reasons we would hit the store everyday or just do take out. Especially with women who have busy lives, this tip is important. It will save you time, money, and those "freaking out moments"!
To start, write a list of meals you want to make for the week. They should be things that could go together. For example, I made a Roast one night, and then within that week I took the leftovers and made a Soup. Also include food for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Make sure you think of all the ingredients you will need and then go ONE time. If you forget something...use an alternate... You will go from pre planning one week of shopping to one month of shopping in no time.
Pre Planning your menus is a lifesaver. I love waking up in the morning and already knowing what will be for dinner that night. It has made life in this area much more successful! As always, if you have some ideas about pre planning - please share them with us in the comment section.
