Many of these items can be found in my pantry and are not purchased on a weekly bases. I try not to wait until my pantry items are gone before I restock. Instead I buy these items intermittently when they go on sale and buy in bulk if possible.  I always assume that I will be going out at least twice during the week so I don’t feel it is necessary to plan every single meal. I also make it a point to freeze a portion of one of my meals to use the another week. For more detailed directions and serving sizes click the hyperlink for each meal. Know that there is a learning curve to cooking this way and it might take a few times to master the portions that best feeds your family. This is by no means the “gold standard” of menu planning. This is simply one systematic method to help make eating healthier more convenient. Make modifications that will best suit your family’s food requirements, preferences and budget. Use the meal planning handouts to help build your pantry and grocery list. Even making small changes can have a significant impact on over-all health.
