Meal Plan Tips
These tips are designed to help you cut down on food prep and food waste, by using up leftovers.
- For this week, prepare a large tossed salad and homemade dressing. Use throughout the week for a wholesome, quick side.
- Slow Cooker Chicken Gnocchi Soup Instructions: Combine chicken, broth, carrots, and seasonings together in the base of a crockpot and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours (or on HIGH for 3-4 hours). Remove the chicken to a cutting board, shred. Turn the slow cooker to high. Add the chicken and gnocchi to the slow cooker, along with the cream, mixed with cornstarch. Cook on high for 20-30 minutes or until the soup has thickened and the gnocchi is tender. Stir spinach in for the last 5-10 mins of cooking if using.
- Feel free to use all ground beef or ground turkey for the taco skillet and tamale pie.
- You will only need a part of the 2nd jar of spaghetti sauce, so use the remainder as a pizza sauce for pizzas at lunch.
∗ How to Use Meal Plans∗
Each meal plan includes a printable guide complete with a shopping list and tips to cut back on prep and minimize food waste. I also base each meal plan based on seasonal produce.
Keep in mind the following tips when using these meal plans.
- Print the meal plan to hang on your fridge and print each recipe to make your grocery list and prepare dinner! You can hit the name of each recipe on the meal plan and it will take you directly to that recipe!
- Right-click each link and hit open in a new tab so you have all the recipes open at once. Hit the jump to recipe and print off recipes. There is a check box to check off ingredients you already have. This will make shopping a bit easier.
- Be sure review meal plan for time-saving tips and key grocery lists. Keep in mind I only create the grocery lists based on dinner and assuming your spice cabinet is stocked with common spices.
