Meal planning and prepping tips
If you're new here...
Every week, I share a free meal plan for you to use the following week. You'll have seven main dish recipes, along with a few extras and of course dessert.
Typically the weekly meal plans are named by number of the week and date. For example, if the plan is for the first week of January, I'll name it Weekly Meal Plan 1 - Jan 3-9. Next year the plans will be updated for the corresponding dates and tasty new recipes!
Don't forget - if you have a busy day and plan on eating out, just drop a day off the menu and adjust the meal plan to fit YOUR busy life!
Here are some shortcuts and tips for this week's menu!
- Taco Spaghetti lasts 3-4 days in the fridge and leftovers freeze great!
- Be sure to have the butcher thinly slice the beef for Korean BBQ Beef. It doesn't cost anything extra and will save you a ton of time!
- Take the turkey out of the freezer on Tuesday in preparation for cooking on Saturday.
- Leftovers pulled pork makes a great topping for tacos, nachos or quesadillas!
- Pick up store-bought pie crust for that yummy apricot pie!
