Tips To Kick Weekly Meal Planning Up A Notch

Ask Family For Favorites

If you are the one who cooks most of the time and have a hungry family to feed, try generating ideas by asking them what they like to eat. Of course, you won’t want to repeat the same meals all the time, but you can create variations on favorites to add interest or use favorite meals to spark entirely new ideas. For instance, if someone in your family loves pizza, try varying the toppings each time you cook it! You can apply the same strategy to spaghetti. Besides, did you know stir-fry with noodles is a great alternative to a traditional Italian spaghetti or pasta dish? Compile a list of your family’s favorites and store them for the future. If nothing else, they make for a good backup.
