How To Plan Dinner Ahead Of Time
December 30th, 2007 by admin
One of the best things you can do to streamline dinner time is to plan what you are going to cook ahead of time. I like to use meal planning worksheets for that. They are a little calendar for the week, that I write down what we are having for dinner each night.
Next I sit down and write down everything I need to prepare each meal. I take that list to the grocery store with me (after crossing out anything I already have in the house). This way I don’t end up running to the store at night to get something I forgot.
I also keep the recipes and instructions of how to prepare each dish with my meal plan. This way if I get stuck in the office my husband can get a head start on dinner. It works beautifully for me and my family.
