![]() There’s also something about having a dinner meal plan for the week and having the whole family – Kevin included – know what that meal plan is. The barn and planning for all their care is costly and eating out is costly too. This season was especially costly since the donkeys came right before holiday season. Meal planning becomes vital not only to our health in the new year, but our budget too. Weekly meal planner helps in so many ways For some reason, having a sheet of paper where I have to physically write the words and the dinner menu for the week helps me stay on track. Not on my phone, not in an app, but on paper. In order to help us get back on track I have to sit down and write out our dinner meals on paper. I’m always too beat to think about preparing another meal for dinner that night. Especially if I’ve spent the day cooking a recipe or testing recipes for the blog or for Instagram. ![]() But it’s just as easy for our family to fall into the convenience trap as it is for anyone else. It’s funny because you would think as a blogger – and more specifically maybe a food blogger, I’m always making amazing meals. Let’s be honest, that does not work for our life. We always seem to get into this doom loop around the holiday season where we start eating out three or four times a week. The first thing to go is always exercise. When I get caught up in something, there’s not enough hours in the day. It’s so easy for me to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. However, I find that this weekly meal planner helps me to stay more on track throughout the rest of the year. That always starts to wane for me when January is over. All of those part of my goals for the year, but like more people, I have also have a goal to be healthier.

To laminate without a laminator, i used these laminating sheets and this pen! if you have a laminator, even better! and if you have nothing, maybe a pencil and eraser every week? i’m excited to have a pretty and eternally-reusable place to write down our meals for the week now.Īnyway, we’ve been exclusively shopping for food online for about a month now so it’s been very limited and stress inducing, so the meal planning has definitely helped ease my anxiety about it. so then i come up with a weekly plan so i’ll know what i’m making and not have to stress about it (plus it helps me remember to thaw dinner in time everyday). since then i reference that list (and cross of things we’ve eaten) and i cross reference with our fresh food/pantry items to figure out what needs to be eaten, what can go together, etc. ![]() The first step we took when this all happened was going through our giant freezer and writing down the entirety of it, itemized and categorized. we usually eat leftovers or sandwiches every day for lunch, but i included a lunch section for you guys too, as well as a little notes area at the bottom. Well it seems everyone i’ve spoken to is also having food anxiety and needs a meal planner badly, for their sanity. ![]()
