Meal Planning

Being unprepared for meals can be a nightmare, especially if you're limited in your food choices. When food allergies or intolerance are a part of your family you can't just run to a chain restaurant and pick up something quick to eat.

I have found that meal planning makes life a lot easier. I have attempted meal planning in the past, but only created a list in a notebook while thinking about my groceries. Recently, while participating in 21 Day Fix through Beachbody, I decided to create a Google doc for my weekly meal plan.

After creating the plan, I print it out and post it on the fridge. This way (whether my husband or I am making dinner) we know what we are making, what needs to be taken out of the freezer and where to find the recipe.

Do I always stick strictly to the meal plan? No, things happen, but I do know what I have on hand for food and can quickly change my meal if necessary.
