Default Re: Can someone teach me how to meal plan?

- Try to incorporate leftovers from dinner into breakfast. Mexican style breakfasts can include leftover rice & beans with eggs. Leftover mashed potatoes turn into potato cakes easily next morning, serve as a side to bacon & eggs!

- Plan only 3 meals a week. Buy the ingredients needed and make those meals. Get creative & spontaneous with meals for the rest of the week, but don't stress about what you'll make.

- Look in the fridge & try to make meals according to what you already have that's on the verge of going bad at the end of the week

- Have a "fend for yourself" night where everyone makes their own meals

- Be grateful for what you have (and use it!). Sometimes I have foods that go to waste because though it was perfectly fine & healthy, I just didn't want it. I was craving something else other nights & kept pushing aside the other stuff until it was too late! Sometimes its good to just eat a meal because it is simply nourishment to our bodies insteaf of what we're craving.

- Use those extra veggies, salad mix, or things on the verge of going bag for lunch!

- Season, season, season. You can make ANYTHING good & desireable to eat with the right seasonings! I turned boring boiled potatoes with butter, salt, & pepper into something even more tasty by simply adding garlic powder, & more butter!

- Don't be afraid to experiment & make your own recipes! When you start getting familiar with basics & others recipes, what seasonings go together, branch out there & give it a shot! Hey it may turn out horrible at first, but it also may be amazing! After all, ALL dishes were because someone tried putting random things things together & saw how it went! I made up my own stew this fall I will have to share recipe for sometime & it was great! And not just because I made it! Lol, other people liked it too!

- Include family in meal planning & making the grocery list

I haven't figured it all out yet myself, but these are just some things that help me! I can't handle being too "to a T" when it comes to meal planning or anything else, but I also don't do well being spontaneous about everything either! Plan too much & you could stress about it when somethings go to waste because something came up & you didn't use your ingredients. Plan too little & you could stress because you don't have dinner! Hope this helps!
