Planning your meals ahead of time is the best way to keep your kitchen running smoothly. I love having a solid plan because it saves me so much stress when I am busy during the week.

This guide helps you organize your breakfast, daily dinners, and a sweet treat or snack. Taking a little time now will save you a lot of energy later on.

Ingredients

  • 7 dinner entrees of your choice
  • 1 breakfast staple such as oatmeal or eggs
  • 1 snack or dessert such as fresh fruit or cookies
  • Assorted vegetables for side dishes
  • Basic pantry staples like oil, salt, and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Choose seven dinner recipes that you enjoy eating.

  2. 2

    Pick one breakfast dish that is easy to make in bulk.

  3. 3

    Select one treat or snack to keep on hand for when you need a pick me up.

  4. 4

    Write down a shopping list based on all these meal components.

  5. 5

    Store your ingredients properly so everything stays fresh until you are ready to cook.

💡 Tips

Try prepping your vegetables right when you get home from the store to save time on busy evenings. You can store your leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to three days.
