Meal Planning in Minutes
• I’m an advocate of eating at home more often than dining out, so planning is a necessity, but I’m not about to spend even an hour each week doing it. Props to all those men and women who do take good time with it, but that’s just not for me.
• That’s why I’ve come up with a few quick tips for how to meal plan in minutes to make the task seem less daunting
Meal Planning in Minutes
1. Brainstorm on Pinterest:
• Make the time you spend on Pinterest worthwhile by searching for healthy recipes or other keywords like vegan, gluten-free, or search by ingredient (like chia seeds, for instance).
• Follow boards that have healthy recipe themes and create your own healthy recipe board you can pin to. Then go back and grab recipes to try.
• Follow my boards at www.Pinterest.com/marissavicario

2. Keep it Simple
• Choose only two to three recipes that you can cook once, eat twice so you don’t feel overwhelmed.
• Look for recipes with only 5-6 ingredients and that won’t take more than 30 minutes.
• Double the recipe if you need to.

3. Make a Master List• Once you have your recipes,
list the ingredients you need.• Schedule a time to go to the
supermarket. Choose a time when it will be less crowded i.e. 8 a.m. Saturday morning.

4. Don’t Fear the Leftovers• Double recipes so you
have leftovers. • Pack them in a to-go
container and have them for one of the next day’s meals.

6. Don’t Force Inspiration• Keep it simple when you’re uninspired. • When in doubt, steam. A couple kinds of steamed
veggies with a sauce plus a protein makes a healthy meal.

No list, no plan, no strategy?
