Each week, meal planning starts with making a list. I try to keep a list going during the week of things we run out of so that it’s easier and quicker to remember when I do my grocery order. Each week on my Instagram account, I post my list on Wednesday, my haul on Thursday, and the meal plan and meal prep on Friday. The blog post is a recap of that week if anything changes, problems I ran into, what I liked or didn’t like, etc.

I try to keep a list going during the week of things we run out of so that it’s easier and quicker to remember when I do my grocery order. This week was the first week I planned and prepped before the weekend whereas before I planned and prepped Friday – Sunday. I ended up switching programs and start new on Monday, so this week of meals only has 4 dinners to get through to start the next week on Saturday. Each week on my Instagram account, I post my list on Wednesday, my haul on Thursday, and the meal plan and meal prep on Friday.

Transforming the heart and home one day at a time How have you changed this week? I just need a few days to get caught up on other parts of the house instead of constantly cleaning the living room (which I prioritize because that’s where we are most of the time). Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I’m a ball of sunshine at 5:00am, but My first one is for my prayer time where I literally get on my face and knees and give the day to God (another desperate goal of mine that I’ve never had the energy to do).

There are so many ways to meal plan and meal prep, but those tips don’t help if you aren’t sure how to break it down into easy steps. If I need more dinner ideas, I look at meal planning lists, or think about different meats to make something with. While some items are a little higher, like apples and potatoes, you can learn over time as you do more meal planning what items are lower when you buy them from another store. I go inside Kroger for buy 5 save $5 sales, and Sam’s Club for bulk items.
