Every family no matter how big or small requires some type of planning and preparation to get meals on the table. I am a big advocate of meal planning to help get healthy family meals on the table. Eating healthy is important, but the less time I spend figuring out what to eat and actually getting it on the table, the more time we get to spend as a family. Meal planning for a week in advance is the only way I can be sure I have the ingredients I need for each meal, and that it doesn’t come down to trying to decide what to eat when everyone is hungry and unmotivated. Anytime I am able to simplify my life I choose that avenue.
Not only can meal planning save you time, it can also save you money. Planning meals in advance means that you can buy foods in bulk and be sure to use leftovers. Meal planning can also stop you from wasting food since you can be sure to use the same ingredients two meals in a row.
Meal planning can seem boring and rigid, however I would rather spend my extra time and money being spontaneous in other areas with my family.
