Meal Planning Ideas



The Food Nanny Rescues Dinner

Easy Family Meals for Every Day of the Week




If you haven't heard of the "Food Nanny" it is worth learning about her great meal planning ideas!

Her website is:  http://thefoodnanny.org/

Anyone who wants to be re-motivated to cook for their family should watch one of her TV episodes.  

Meal Planning

“The key to effective meal planning is mapping out your meal schedule a week or two in advance,” Edmunds explains. Here’s what The Food Nanny suggests:

1. Choose your themes for each night of the week. (You can start with what I have used, or choose your family’s preferences.)

2. Get out a calendar.

3. Choose meals (using recipes from The Food Nanny Rescues Dinner or your own recipe file).

4. Write down your chosen meals on the form provided (in the book and at www.thefoodnanny.com),or on a sheet of paper or index cards.


5. Check your food supplies and make a grocery list of what you will need for the week’s menus.

6. Go Shopping.

I keep a white board on the fridge with the week's menu. I have done this for years. It helps me and my family - everyone knows what to expect and I actually start dinner in my head before I get home. More organized. I have a calendar under it with 3 weeks of meals on it. Love this idea! Thanks Food Nanny!

I just found the Food Nanny show
she makes it look really easy.
I am going to try to start with some of her tips,our problem is we homeschool so the kids are home all day. Snacking gets out of hand at times.
