WEEKLY MEAL PLAN #92

Each week, I share with you aFREE meal planthat consists of 5dinner ideas(Monday-Thursday plus one Weekend meal), 2side dishes, and 1BOB·体育(中国)官方网站 !

Included is a grocery list with EVERY ingredient you need for all the items on the meal plan.

This is meant to help simplify menu planning, shopping, and cooking so you can more easily enjoy meals with your family throughout the week!

TIP OF THE WEEK

你有剩余的hamfrom Easter dinner?If so, that’s fantastic! Two of our recipes this week call for chopped ham.

One of those recipes isStrata. This breakfast casserole is layered with milk, eggs, ham, cheese and bread. It’s best when made the night before and refrigerated until it’s time to bake it.

The other recipe isHam and Bean Soup. The ingredients call for low sodium chicken broth. This is because ham tends to already be quite salty and you don’t want to have an overly salty soup.

Both of these recipes are great ways to use up that leftover ham!

BENEFITS OF MEAL PLANNING

There’s nothing worse than the dread every time a family members asks, “What’s for dinner??” And your answer is “I have no clue.” Having ameal planfor the week eliminates that completely, which is the number one benefit in my book!

除了a game plan in place, there areseveral other benefitsof meal planning, including:

Cost:When you have a plan set in place, and a specific list of groceries, you eliminate cost wasted on impulse items or produce that never gets used.
Decrease Waste:No wasted money, and no wasted food! Having a set grocery list will help to avoid both of those issues.
Variety:Our meal plans specifically include a lot of variety, withMexican,Italian,Breakfastfor Dinner, and so much more! You can expose your family’s palates to all kinds of meals.
No Indecision:Did you know there’s such thing as “indecision fatigue”? The idea is that when you can’t make a decision on something (like what to make for dinner) it actually makes you mentally fatigued. When dinners are already planned out, though, you avoid indecision completely!
Health:When you plan for/anticipate making well-rounded meals, you’re much more likely to actually make them rather than defaulting to convenient boxed meals, or unhealthy fast food!

As you can see, there are so many benefits to meal planning!
