How many times have you sat down to meal plan, with all your recipe books, your phone with Pinterest open, just to feel super overwhelmed by all that you *could* make? I'm not saying that's a bad way to meal plan - We use recipe books and Pinterest for ideas too!

But the unfortunate reality, is that many times, our meal plans made from recipe books and yummy looking Pinterest ideas end up going bust before the week is even over. 

So why does this happen??

These are generally new-to-us recipes. They're not our tried and true, or "family favorites". You know, the meals we can make without from memory without actually following a recipe. The ones that we always have ingredients in our pantries and refrigerators. And the ones we know our families (or selves) will love!!

So we either end going back to our family favorites because we just want to make life easier. Or, we haven't planned our meals around our schedules to realize how much time these recipes entail - so we don't have enough time. 

The bummer about all of this, is that is can lead to food waste and is not good for the budget!

How do I create a simple meal plan that I'll actually use?!
