Planning your meals ahead of time is such a great way to stay organized during a busy week. This guide takes the guesswork out of what to cook so you can spend less time thinking and more time enjoying your food.

I love having a solid plan for breakfast and snacks alongside main meals. Having a few go to options ready makes it so much easier to stick to your routine even when your schedule gets packed.

Ingredients

  • 7 dinner entrees of your choice
  • 1 go to breakfast recipe for the week
  • 1 snack or dessert recipe for the week
  • Assorted pantry staples as needed for your selected recipes

Instructions

  1. 1

    Select seven dinner recipes that use similar ingredients to keep your grocery bill low.

  2. 2

    Choose one breakfast option that you can batch prepare on Sunday morning.

  3. 3

    Pick one treat or snack recipe to satisfy cravings throughout the week.

  4. 4

    Write your grocery list based on these three components to avoid extra trips to the store.

  5. 5

    Prep your ingredients or cook your batch meals on your preferred day to set yourself up for success.

💡 Tips

Store your breakfast and snacks in individual airtight containers to grab them quickly on busy mornings. If you have leftovers, label them clearly with the date to keep your fridge organized throughout the week.
