Only started watching your channel this week. I like these ideas. Decided to create a habits and meals planner in a composition notebook that I already had. First page I put down what foods I have, 2nd page started the list of possible meals. Subsequent page I put down the menu for the week on left half, and on right half I put the habits for the morning, lunch and dinner (I don't eat breakfast) and habits for evening. I need the habits checkboxes because I am not someone who adheres to daily habits well. But since I suffer from insomnia these days, I thought about how much show time and when I could watch, when I could listen to something and sew, bedtime, meditation, and finally and hopefully sleep. I did the half pages for the other days, and also put down the Market List. I'm excited to see how this will work for me. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us.
Yes please on your next week’s meal plan. Trying to get some new ideas for my weight loss journal. And you gave me some vegetarian ideas for meals too! Thanks!
You got this! And I will happily film that for you. I do quite a few vegetarian options, so let me know if there is something you have a lot of and I will try to make a custom meal plan for you. 🤍
New subscriber. Totally made me one of these today! I was diagnosed with an ulcer, so my eating has changed and this will be my journal as I navigate healing. Great ideas. Thank you so much!
This is certainly “intentional”meal planning! I’m sure this is very helpful throughout your work week. I love it! I really like the sticky note and envelope layout!! I love the color a lot! Great video April!
Hi April!😊 Love this video! You are definitely my go to for meal planning inspiration and ideas and how tos!🥰 Thank you so much for going more in depth! This was so awesome and so many amazing ideas! I love the idea of having a little pocket to tuck receipts too! I also love avocado on my blt but I call it a blat, kinda like a comic book sound word, probably if you threw slime on a wall, blat😂😂 I definitely got lots of ideas that I’m excited to try!😆 Thank you so much and sending all the love and avocados!🥑🥑❤️❤️❤️
Oh my gosh! BLAT is perfect! 😆 I heard the sound too!!! You are wonderful and I hope you have the best day filled with perfectly ripe avocados and alllllll the love!!! ❤️ 🥑
Love your meal planning tips and spreads! I also only cook for 2 right now. I typically only make 3 dinners per week and then either repurpose some of the leftovers or just alternate the leftovers for dinners and then we eat out once a week with a coupon or gift card earned from rebate apps that I use all the time or pull something out of the freezer from previously. So, i.e. I will make baked chicken thighs and baked potatoes for Dinner on Monday. Hubby will take a smaller version of dinner for lunch the next day and there will be enough for another whole dinner leftover for another night later in the week. On Tuesday, I will make Goulash for dinner and for next days lunch for hubby and leftovers for another time in the week. On Wednesday Im using last Sundays leftover BBQ ribs to make pulled pork sandwiches. Thursday using the chicken for chicken chipotle bowls; Friday: leftover goulash; Saturday BLTs; Sunday eat out or pull something out of the freezer that was left over previously that we didnt get to as I sometimes make WAY too much of something. Like this weeks goulash. I will have enough left over to freeze some. Not sure yet ( I havent made it yet) if it will be a lunch size portion or a dinner sized portion.
I looooove this!! This is such a great way to ensure those leftovers get into bellies!!! I have frozen for future lunches and that works well too! I hope you have a wonderful day and thank you.
I just found your channel and I’m so thankful I did! Meals have always been stressful for me! I’m so excited to try these ideas! Thank you so much for sharing!
You are most welcome and I hope you enjoy as we go along as well. I meal plan every week so if you ever have any questions, let me know! I am always happy to help. 😊
In 2019 we spent $300 per month on groceries. In the past couple of years it has cost us $300 every ten days for groceries. Hmmm? "Wonder why the difference?", she asked sarcastically as she walked into the county clerk's office to register to vote. By the way, I do keep all my receipts and have for years. I have a box of receipt envelopes that can show consumer challenges. And a challenge it certainly has been. Really love being frugal regarding planners. Thanks for sharing your tips.
I really love your meal planning spreads! I appreciate so much seeing this because I'm in a transitional State where I feel better and I want to start cooking again. I'd love for you to show how you do your meal planning, and I SO appreciate you sharing ❤!
I'm so glad and I absolutely will! I meal plan every week, so I may have to add a day to my schedule of posting videos 😉 I hope you have a wonderful day
I love the way you did this. Please share with us the one you’re working on with the envelope for the market list. Good ideas. Now I’m hungry for nachos and taco salad. lol
I was just planning to do a meal planner like this. I can reuse it and not have to reinvent the wheel constantly. I have a clearance happy planner I’m going to use. That way I can add to it if I want to. I just punch regular paper to add in. I love your envelope idea. ❤
