Welcome! For those of you who are new to Meal Planning, go to my “Meal Planning” tab here to help you out while you are getting started – lots of great resources.
From the poll last week, it looks like 64% of you meal plan weekly. That is also my preference, because my on-hand produce and perishable items changes each week. I like to plan according to what I have on hand, and that will change from week to week depending on how much we eat and when we eat it. So, for our family weekly is the way to go.
What about you, what is on your meal plan this week?
