My meal planning starts with a basic inventory of my pantry, freezer, and refrigerated items. Next, I create a list of possible dinners for an entire month to feed my family of six. Thinking about coming up with a month of planned meals may seem like it will overwhelm me, but it is easy to come up with 30 meals (some are meals that we eat two or more times a month) that my family will enjoy. I love the array of ideas at my fingertips, and deciding ahead of time what to make for dinner is a gift!
What do we already have in our pantry and freezer? What is the weather outlook for the week and month? What vegetables are in season? What events will our family attend (seasonal, family dinners, etc.)? One of the most important reasons we meal plan is to make sure we are making healthy food choices by cooking from scratch. A dinner plan using nutritious ingredients at home allows us to spend less money, which is excellent for our tummies, thighs, and wallets.
