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
