Meal Plan Tips

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

Make balsamic vinaigrette and a large salad using spinach and romaine (or any greens you like) to serve throughout the week.
Feel free to replace the ground turkey in the taco skillet with ground beef or the ground beef in the chili for ground turkey.
Use green beans in in minestrone, as a side for the shake and bake chicken and in sausage and green beans.
Feel free to use all chicken stock OR vegetable broth rather than purchasing both.
Feel free to use red potatoes in minestrone if you want rather than Yukon gold potatoes, as you will likely have red potatoes on hand.
If you don't have an Instant Pot, I have the directions for crockpot Gnocchi Soup in the recipe modifications in the post. As for Instant Pot Sausage and Potatoes, layer the ingredients in the Instant Pot smoked sausage and potatoes in a large slow cooker and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-6 hours.
Use leftover spinach from minestrone soup in tossed salads and in a simple quinoa spinach salad to serve for lunches (any leftover green beans, use them in the quinoa salad as well!)

∗ 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.
