Today is all about preparing for the week ahead. My family sits down with our planners and any important things coming up during the week. Now is the time to get into the habit, and even though we are home and not going out, we still have plenty of going on. Make your list of what you want to get done and what the kids need to be doing.
When life is back to being mostly out of our homes, this can make the days easier because you will know what kind of time you have in the evenings and how to make dinners easy and in the time you have! Then ask everyone in your family to pick meals for dinner, what snacks, breakfast and lunch meals they want for the week. Then log into your grocery store app that you like best, and order your food. Choose a pick up time that works best- I choose Monday-
I will write down what dinners everyone wants in my planner- however, I do not always stick to that day. As much as I like consistence I am not really a creature of habit. Same reason I pack too many clothes when I go on vacation. I like to have options, and choose the day of! Other people may want to assign each day a dinner like Taco Tuesday and do that every week! Whatever helps you to stay on task is what you need to do. However you choose to decide what you eat when, you need to create a list and get it all at once. Then you have everything you need to cook the meal on whatever day you decide. You will be less likely to go out to eat, or order in if you have all of it in your home planned out! If eating out is something you enjoy then plan those in your schedule too. No need wasting money and food that doesn't get eaten!
The company's that send you all of the ingredients to your house are AMAZING! I loved using those to get new food ideas and get out of ruts. They offer all kinds of deals if you want to try them. I really enjoyed hello fresh and home chef. Let me know if you have tried something else, please let me know!
