Meal Planning
As part of my scheduling craze, meal planning has become a very important aspect. Wasting time trying to decide what to cook for supper (or lunch!) is not in my schedule. As such, I’ve looked at some of the more common meals we eat and have added a few recipes that we want to try. I’ve built the first two weeks and will build the second two weeks soon. The objective is to keep it simple, fast, cost efficient and different. We don’t like eating the same foods each week and rotation is definitely key. By rotating meals every four weeks, I think we’ll be able to work with all of our food tastes. I’ve not included breakfasts as Jaden and Simon are the two that generally eat breakfast. If I’m going to eat something that early in the day, I’ll grab fruit, oatmeal or toast with nut butters.

We enjoy having pizza a bit more often and I’ve included it once a week. We make our pizzas from scratch, dough included. They are a much healthier alternative to ordered in food.
I’m going to be editing this post to include recipes for various items. I hope you enjoy them too!
