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!

Weekly Meal Plan 48 - shortcuts and tips

  • Double the roasted cauliflower recipe. Save half for snacking or simple side dish later in the week. Still have leftovers? Add it to the fried rice Wednesday night! Cauliflower soup will keep for 3-4 days so be sure and enjoy it for lunch this week. Leftovers do not freeze well.
  • Double the rice when you make the BBQ Beef Bowl. Leftover rice is perfect for fried rice the next day (in fact you want the rice to be day old!).
  • Sub out the Korean BBQ beef or leftover pork for chicken in the fried rice recipe. That will be SO GOOD! Top the rice with a fried egg and you have a complete meal!
  • Leftovers of the Alfredo Stuffed Shells freeze great.

Stretch your budget - tips for meal planning

I have some quick tips for meal planning today for you to quickly review and apply what works best for you!

  • Leftovers - freeze them as soon as possible. Don't forget to mark your storage containers well! If they sit in the refrigerator and you don't use them, it's like money down the drain.
  • Purchase staples when they are on sale. That way you have go-to ingredients in your freezer and pantry.
  • Properly package and store food - if you buy in bulk, repackage it when you get home from the grocery store. Use heavy duty foil will lengthen freezer life and prevent spoilage.

Use your leftovers

The week before Thanksgiving we began cleaning out the refrigerator and freezer. Each day I removed meals that were frozen to thaw and use.

That worked great because...

  1. We used those meals (which is why I frozen them to begin with).
  2. We saved money because I wasn't going to the store.
  3. It open space in the freezer for our Thanksgiving leftovers....win/win!

Pro Tip - Make a leftover night! - in other words, use your leftovers! That might be a no-brainer, but don't just tuck a meal in the freezer.... eat it!

Got a tip for me? Please comment below, I'd love to hear it!

November 28 - Crockpot Chicken and Gravy

Crockpot Chicken and Gravy - you'll put everything in the slow cooker before you leave for work and it's done when you get home. Serve with white or brown rice, or buttered egg noodles.

Roasted Brussels sprouts would be yummy with this meal, as would roasted asparagus. I'm such a fan of a great yummy veggie! A great green salad is always a terrific side as well!

December 3 - Turkey Soup

Let's not forget about that leftover turkey! Grab some out of the freezer and make turkey soup! You can follow these basic instruction here on the Easy Chicken Soup Recipe.
