Why we love meal planning

No more decision fatigue. If you agonize over what to make for dinner, then save yourself the headache and let a meal plan do it for you.  Saves money. Rather than buy a bunch of produce that goes bad or spices that gather dust, a meal plan can help simplify your grocery list and save you money.  Healthier. When you have easy recipes on hand and a fridge full of groceries, you’re going to spend less time aimlessly munching or, worse, getting takeout! It’s fun. Meal planning encourages trying new recipes and breaking out of your comfort zone. But don’t worry; each recipe includes plenty of tips and tricks so you can customize them to your taste buds. Add more. Don’t forget to add some breakfasts, appetizers, snacks, and desserts to complement your meal plan. I do suggest 3 each week, but feel free to add more!
