Meal plan for dinners, no matter what
Recommended by Amy
When the fridge is bare I sit down and plan 4-5 dinners. The main goals are to try and incorporate the same ingredients in the dishes so we don’t have waste, leftovers for one chill dinner, and plan for a big salad/lentil soup to eat all week for lunch. And then when I run out of meals, we start the meal planning over again.
✨ Pro tip - check the weather being doing this! No one wants to be boiling pasta on a hot day or grilling in the cold. At least I don’t!

I do the same re: planning 4-5 days out, with weather in mind, trying to use similar ingredients throughout the week! And for some reason each week I feel totally overwhelmed by the task - so lately I’ve been trying to take on the approach a few friends have done, where you have diff broad recipes that you customize each week. Something like: 1 grain bowl night, 1 pasta night, 1 soup/stew night - or salad in summer, 1 sheet pan with chicken, 1 sheet pan with fish, in summer 1 grill night minimum, sometimes throwing in something else like a breakfast for dinner night, or a sandwich or a homemade pizza night or a restaurant… but having pretty broad categories as a general guideline helps my brain so much!
