Planning Meals

                                             Menu Planning

Okay so last time we talked about clean eating, and menu planning is a topic that goes right along with it.

Have you ever been so frustrated over not knowing what goes together for a meal? Or buy a ton of groceries only to find you're missing some of the key ingredients to make your dinner meal so you end up having to change your plans? I know I have.

Something we can do to help minimize dinner chaos is to menu plan.

So this is the part where you are asking me what menu planning is or why you would even want to do it, right?

Menu planning is when you make a list of meals you want to have throughout your week. These can include breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack.

It also helps you to make your grocery list so you don't forget anything when you are at the store.

Here is an example of a menu planned day:

breakfast: oatmeal and fruit
snack: crackers and cheese
lunch: lettuce, tomato, and cucumber salad
snack: yogurt and berries
dinner: taco soup with sourdough bread

By writing out your menu you can clearly see what you need to buy and what meals you will have during your week.

Menu Planning Tips:


  • Keep it short and clear. You don't want confusion when it comes to your food.
  • Have certain days that can be interchangeable 
  • Don't over buy on the things that you don't need just because they are on sale
  • Crockpot meals work wonders
  • Enjoy having the power of knowledge in your meals!
