    pantry meal planning.

    This week's featured recipes are all created using items that are found in your pantry...well if you're pantry is well-stocked.

    When you have a well-stocked pantry and freezer, you'll be able to create delicious meals for your family without having to run to the grocery store a few times a week.

    So what should you have in your pantry? I'm including a free printable to help you see what some of the popular items should be in a well-organized pantry.

    This printable is just a guideline. Don't purchase items you know your family is not going to eat.

    Pantry Meal Planning

    This is just an example of how I like to meal plan. You could also incorporate a “leftover meal” or even “clean out the refrigerator” night.

    Try to use what you have in your pantry and freezer to plan meals. It helps to keep a list so you know exactly what you have on hand.

    Assign each day of the week a different category and then plan a meal according to that category.

    • Monday - Meatless, Vegetarian or even Leftovers from the weekend.
    • Tuesday - Taco Tuesday or Mexican Recipe
    • Wednesday - Chicken, Beef or Fish
    • Thursday - Pasta or Italian Night
    • Friday - Sandwiches and Soup
    • Saturday - Pizza or Eat Out, Order In
    • Sunday - Comfort Food Meal

    Now, pick a side dish to serve with the recipes listed below. Side dishes could include potatoes or rice along with one or two veggies. A tossed salad with homemade ranch salad dressing is always nice too.
