Episode 30 Weekly Meal Plan and Planning From Your Pantry, Fridge, Freezer

Title: Weekly Meal Plan and Planning From Your Pantry, Fridge and Freezer
 
Description: All too often, I feel we start meal planning sometimes a little bit backwards LOL! We pick our recipes and then we buy the ingredients and then we make those recipes, right?
What if for a moment, we reversed engineered meal planning Here's what I mean…. What if instead of picking recipes first we took an inventory of what we had and worked from there?
 
Not only will this feel so good, and it will help eliminate food waste, and stress. I bet that it will make it a little bit easier, and it might even lower your grocery bill this week, as you probably already have a lot of the things in your fridge, freezer and pantry.
 
And to help you get started, I have a free inventory workbook with templates to take inventory of your fridge, freezer, and pantry that you can download for free at bit.ly/busy Mama meal planning and you can start taking inventory of what you have and then create a list so you always know what you have on hand, and what you need.
 
Weekly Meal Plan:
Monday- chicken parmesan, with pasta, and green beans
Tuesday- shepherd's pie
Wednesday- sheet pan fajitas
Thursday- beef and broccoli on rice
Friday-breakfast for supper-Crepes
Saturday-chicken nuggets and fries
Sunday-Wendy’s Chili
 
Instant pot hacks: Make your rice in the instant pot. I cup rice in 2 cups of water.  Put on high for 3 minutes and natural release for 10.  Will give you fluffy rice
 
 I challenge yourself this week to reverse engineer your meal planning and start by working with what you already have. It may just  simplify your life and leave you feeling pleasantly surprised!
 
Other tips to save time and energy:
Carve out time to prep and plan

Episode 29 Celebrating Accomplishments and Reflecting On Your Meal Planning Progress

Title:  Celebrating progress and Reflecting on accomplishments with meal planning
 
Description: 
Today, I want to share with you the power of celebrating progress and reflecting on accomplishments through the simple act of meal planning. We live in a fast-paced world where it's easy to get caught up in the chaos of everyday life. But taking a moment to acknowledge how far we've come can be truly transformational.
 
Meal planning is not just about organizing your week's dinners; it's about recognizing your growth, finding gratitude for what you have achieved, and paving the way for even greater success. So, let's dive into this incredible journey of self-reflection and celebration through meal planning!
 
 As we journey through life, it's important to take a step back and acknowledge the progress we've made so far. By incorporating meal planning into our lives, we not only nourish our bodies but also create space for mindful reflection and celebration.
 
Meal planning is like having a blueprint for success. 
 
Not only does meal planning foster physical well-being, but it also has a profound effect on our mental and emotional health.
One of the beautiful things about meal planning is that it allows us to see how far we've come. It's a tangible reminder of the progress we've made in our health and well-being journey.
Meal planning also allows us to celebrate the small wins along our journey. 
 
So, my beautiful friends, as you sit down to plan your meals, take a moment to reflect on the progress you've made. Celebrate the growth, embrace the challenges, and honor the person you are becoming. You are amazing, and your meal planning is a testament to your strength and resilience.
 
Reflecting on our accomplishments allows us to see how far we've come and appreciate the journey. 
 
Meal planning can also be a time for self-discovery.
 
Remember, my dear friends, celebrating progress and reflecting on accomplishments is an essential part of our growth journey. Through meal planning, we cultivate mindfulness, intentionality, and nourishment not only for our bodies but also for our souls. So, let's embrace this powerful practice, honor our achievements, and continue on the path to becoming our best selves. Happy planning and happy reflections!
 
I leave you with food for thought- progress is progress no matter how small!
