How to plan dinner for the week
Planning dinner for the week can help save time and money while still providing nutritious, delicious meals. Here are some tips to help you plan dinner for the week:
- Choose recipes you know your family will eat.
- Check your pantry and fridge for ingredients you already have on hand, then make a grocery list for the remaining items.
- Plan out how many nights you want to prepare dinner at home, and how many leftovers or takeout meals you’ll need for the rest of the week.
- Make sure to prepare extra food when cooking so that it can be used throughout the week as lunch or dinner options.
- Lastly, don’t forget to enjoy the process of planning – getting creative with recipes and experimenting with flavors is part of what makes cooking so fun!
Once you have the main dish selected, choose a side dish to serve alongside. Side dishes should include potatoes or rice along with one or two veggies. A tossed salad with homemade ranch salad dressing is always nice too.
