Meal planning and prepping tips
There are some really delicious meal on the schedule this week! But what's here, may not work for you.
Print off the recipes you're going to use and keep them in one place. My mom uses a clipboard Velcro'd to a cupboard door and attaches all of the recipes to it. I think it's a brilliant idea! It works great, she can easily find them and organize.
Check your calendar before going shopping. Are there days when you'll be out late and take out will work better? That's ok, just pick the recipes you want and cross off the items you don't need from the grocery list.
Dan's happy with whatever I make but for some families, everyone likes to have input. If that's the case, check with others before your plan is set in stone!

Meal Planning Tips
This week I wanted to share an easy tip that will help make meal planning second nature to you.
Make sure the pantry is stocked with staple ingredients. This will help you keep your sanity as so you're not buying out an entire store when you're doing your weekly grocery shopping!
Themed nights are fun! If it makes a buy-in for dinner easier for your family consider once a week, planning meals around your favorite movies. Kids would love that!
Items to prep in advance:
One you get home, if you have time, prep items when possible. Store them in reusable containers or ziplock bags in the refrigerator so they are ready when you need them.
Chop all of the onions and refrigerate, snap the ends off the green beans, mince the garlic, peel and slice the carrots, dice the celery.
