Meal Plan Tips

These tips are designed to help you cut down on food prep and food waste, by using up leftovers.

Sunday is the Super Bowl, so I have added a few of my favorite appetizers--they make for a fun dinner! Note that I did not add the ingredients to the shopping list.
Use leftovers from the Super Bowl menu to make Twice Baked Potatoes (from potato skins) and leftover taco dip for quick bean burritos for lunches.
Use brussels sprouts for the sheet pan dinner Tuesday and a delicious salad later in the week.
This week's recipes calls for a lot of potatoes. To keep things simple, use all russet potatoes. For the sheet pan dinner, use cubed russet potatoes.
Valentine's Day Menu: This is my family's traditional Valentine's Day meal. I make meatballs and shape them like meatballs and then serve them with strawberry salad--perfectly pink and red. And then finished with the richest, chocolate dessert on my blog--Lava Cakes! Feel free to use Lentil Meatballs for vegetarian meatballs if desired and there are directions for preparing the lava cakes in the oven as well as the instant pot.
Prepare extra meatballs on Friday to use for meatball subs on Saturday.

∗ 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.
