Weekly Meal Planning
Every Saturday (or so), I make a meal plan. I go grocery shopping Mondays after work and get everything I need for the entire week. I despise having to make extra trips to the store. So I can avoid making more than one trip a week, I try to be as thorough as I can in my list beforehand.
I love using post-its and notepads to keep a running to-do list, but using Wunderlist for my groceries has been a game changer. Seriously. Instead of worrying if I have the list with me when I go shopping, I know I’ll always have my phone which has the Wunderlist app right there. Also, Eric and I share the list which is so helpful if there is anything he wants to add at the last minute. 
I do write the overall meal for each night on a post-it note but then add the ingredients to Wunderlist. I have three basic categories when I am writing my list: Breakfast, dinner, and snacks. Most of the time, our lunches consist of what we ate the night before. It saves time, money, and clean up.
Since I have gotten into this routine, it has become easier each week. Whenever I’m at a loss, I look up recipes on my blog that I may have forgotten about, flip through some of my favorite cookbooks, or scroll through Pinterest. I listed some of my go-to’s below for each category. You can also shop my pantry to have a lot of the ingredients I use often on hand!
