8 Steps to Organized Meal
Planning
by Barbara Myers 1. Keep an ongoing grocery list. Most people can start one about five minutes after returning from the grocery store. Post it so everyone in the family can use it. 2. Take a sheet of paper and make three columns. First, list seven to 21 of your favorite quick and easy entrees. You might include grilled pork chops, chicken pot pie and several crock pot dishes. Keep a supply of beef, chicken and pork in the freezer. 3. List the vegetables your family enjoys on a
regular basis. Frozen and canned varieties are the easiest to
store. Include potatoes as well. Make sure you keep a good
supply of each vegetable in your 4. List bread possibilities. Refrigerated and frozen bread (dinner rolls and loaves) stay fresh for weeks. Just check the expiration dates before buying. 5. Before weekly grocery shopping, choose seven entrees for the week. Check your freezer inventory. Buy in bulk during sales to save money and time. 6. Keep in stock the basics you use regularly: broth, mushroom soup, rice, pasta sauce and jars of gravy. You will always be able to whip up a quick meal. 7. When your inventory is low on any item, add it to your grocery list. Buy more than one at a time to avoid running out. 8. Since
your pantry/kitchen stays well-stocked, you can easily make a meal using
your list. Throw some chops on the grill, along with dinner rolls
wrapped in foil, and warm a bag of frozen
corn on the stove. Bon appetit! Free "50 Ways to Manage Your Time" tips booklet. Visit http://www.ineedmoretime.com Copyright 2002-08 Barbara Myers Publishers may use this article only if the bylines are included. |
