Weekly meal plans



To make a monthly meal plan start by taking inventory of what food you already have in the freezer or pantry and try to use those in your meal plans.

Try to plan ahead to make two meals out of one - to make use of leftovers and save time .

For example on Sunday I might  roast chicken and serve with a vegetable and rice (1) - then I can use the chicken and vegetables for a pot pie later in the week (2)  and use the rice in veggie burgers (3). We have Pizza just about every week (4)  and we have one night that is "serve yourself" or "snack dinner" (5) usually throw in a pasta night (6) and only have 1 meal left to figure out which can be soup and salad, or soup and sandwiches (7)
