Meal Planning Made Easy

Meal Planning

Meal Planning Made Easy

by Rochelle Griffin

Meal planning. Do you do it? Every Sunday on social media, I post a reminder that says “Planning your meals prevents poor decisions,” and I encourage people to plan out their week.

For some, meal planning is a bit foreign. In fact, about a month ago I wrote an article with 8 tips to simplify meal planning. While the tips have helped hundreds of people, I still often get asked what “I” eat, so today I’m going to share in order to get your creative juices flowing. Be sure to read Tuesday’s breakfast recipe. It’s one of my favorites!

Here’s literally what I do:

I sit down with a blank week calendar on Sundays to make my plan. I consider one day from dinner until lunch the next day. This way we can make leftovers for dinner and finish them at lunch. This method works very well in our home.

I always write in pencil otherwise I’ll have a scratched-out mess on my hands. Once I’m happy with the plan, I make my shopping list.

Here are a few days of my coming week as an example:

Sunday dinner: BBQ bison ribs in the crockpot with broccoli

Monday breakfast: Shakeology (my health shake that I have a few times per week. Love it!)

Monday lunch: Left over BBQ bison ribs and broccoli

Monday dinner: Baked chicken breast, quinoa, and asparagus

Tuesday breakfast: Banana pancakes (these are THE bomb and have ZERO grain!!! Take 1 ripe banana, 1 egg, 1 tsp almond butter, & 1/8 tsp baking soda. Mix together into a batter. Use cookie sheet with parchment paper. Divide batter into 4 pancakes. Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 15 min or until brown. Serves one. Seriously try these!)

Tuesday lunch: Chicken breast wrap with raw spinach

Tuesday dinner: Oven roasted turkey breast with sweet potato & green beans

Wednesday breakfast: Hot quinoa cereal with berries

Wednesday lunch: Salad with turkey breast

Wednesday dinner: Baked salmon with millet & zucchini

The key to success is that I sit down on Sunday to review the plan with my husband and son (not my son’s favorite thing to do but this way he gets a say and I don’t hear “Yuck…I don’t want that.”) We aren’t so strict that we don’t move things around or scrap something because we decide to eat out after church. The meal plan is a guide, not something set in stone. Don’t become a slave to it.

So go back and review my article with the 8 tips, then use some of my above suggestions as a jumping off place to get moving on your own meal planning. It really is simple once you get into the habit of doing it, and it saves a ton of time during the week when you’re crazy busy.
