Memorable Quotes:
“My number one tip for saving time in the kitchen is definitely meal planning… you’re getting a really good all-around healthy variety… you’re going to be saving money on the grocery bill and you’re just going to have more free time.”
“There are lots of different ways you can meal plan, but I really think fine-tuning it based on what works best for your family is going to be helpful.”
“The next step that I always suggest is to check your calendar. Look ahead. What does your calendar look like for the next week? If you know you have a busy day coming, you really want to plan for that day to be something quick, easy, or even leftover.”
“After you have all that ready, you have your plan, get a grocery list going. You create that list with everything you need. And block out some time to head to the store so that you can get all of those ingredients that you need for the week.”
“I find the best and fastest things to meal plan would be things for breakfast, overnight oats. Overnight oats are so nutritious. You can make a big batch on the weekends, and they don’t have to be the same everyday.”
“We have this wonderful plan and we think it’s great and then we get home and say, ‘I don’t feel like it’. I don’t feel like it, my husband doesn’t feel like it, so what do we do? I think it’s very important to have some go-to options in your freezer.”
“Every Friday, my family goes to our local pizza parlor and they have gluten/dairy-free pizza which is phenomenal. And I’m sure in your area, you can find a place that offers those options, and if they don’t, you can omit the cheese… or bring your own cheese.”
