Assign each day of the week a different category and then plan a meal according to that category.
Meal Planning Categories
To simplify my family's weekly dinner routine, I love using meal planning categories!
Here is an example of how I like to meal plan. Try adding a "leftover meal" or "clean out the fridge" night into your weekly meal plan. We do this at least once a week or every 10 days.
- Sundays - are all about cozy comfort food meals.
- Mondays - are always meatless, focusing on vegetarian dishes or utilizing leftovers from the weekend.
- Tuesdays - are reserved for Taco Tuesday or other fun Mexican recipes.
- Wednesdays - are dedicated to chicken, beef, or fish dishes.
- Thursdays - are perfect for pasta or other Italian favorites.
- Fridays - are relaxed with sandwiches and a comforting soup.
- Saturdays - offer flexibility with pizza night or opting to eat out or order in.
