Planning a family weekly menu usually is provoked by the question “What we are having for dinner?”
Skip the regular question, and get organized your daily, or weekly time in the kitchen with these free simple meal planner templates. You will notice that besides time-saving, you will save some cash at the end of the day.
Planning your meal for the day, or the week consists of three and a half steps – choosing recipes, compiling a shopping list, buying products, and – if recipes require – some basic preparation of the meal ingredients.
Using a meal planner doesn’t mean you need some of these huge cookbooks with recipes from all over the world for every day.
In fact, the meal planner often is a small sheet of A5, drawn with the days of the week and meals you will prepare- chicken with baked potatoes for example. This list is the easiest to hang on the fridge so everyone can see it.
The optimal approach is to plan so that the same dish can be served twice – otherwise in a situation with children and home office one would rarely leave the kitchen at all.
Having a meal planner is certainly doesn’t mean you won’t ever eat in a restaurant. Do not forget that eating out remains a pleasant opportunity for rest and relaxation. And of course to meet new people.
It would be better for these nights out to be planned – so you do not have something lying in the fridge.
With a meal planner, organizing your family’s weekly meals is effortless.
When you have a meal planner shopping itself saves a significant amount of time, and cooking at home – believe it or not – can be even faster than waiting for a take-out.
Of course, in this case, the main factor is the type of recipes that you will choose.
Meal planners provide some key features you don’t want to miss, like:
- provide delicious and varied food every day
- optimize the number of meals
- more efficient time in the kitchen
- limit shopping to once a week
- save and take care for the family budget- you buy products that you really need
- you throw less food
