February On the Menu | №2

I have been meal planning in some way for years now. (This series of posts will last until meal rotation, 2½-3 months, repeats.) I've stepped away from it a few times and realized I'm more consistent with cooking, which I don't like to do, meals with one than without. Another thing I've changed is instead of shopping monthly for meat and certain fresh vegetables I do it weekly. All other ingredients are purchased in bulk. I also use this app, Familywall, for my grocery list and recipes I want to try. The app allows me to save recipes and transfer ingredients to my grocery list.

I use this mainly for my benefit, DH is added but forgets about it 🤦‍♀️

MEAL PLAN CATEGORIES

Here's an example of my categories. This isn't set in stone, but I try to follow it. Under each category I jot down all meals I make on a regular basis in the app, then mark them off as they're added to the calendar. This year I've decided to try and add one new recipe a week (Friday); whether it happens weekly or not, 🤷‍♀️ If we like it I will add it.

MONDAY - Crock-Pot
TUESDAY - tex-mex/tacos
WEDNESDAY - sandwiches
THURSDAY - pasta
FRIDAY - other/new
WEEKEND - dine out/grill/ leftovers
