Two things I got done this weekend after getting back from vacation.
1st thing: I bought bulk amounts of chicken and pork. I’m stocked up with hamburgers currently, so I didn’t need anymore.
2nd thing: I cleaned out my freezer and made an inventory of what was in the freezer.
3rd thing: I made ready-to-go oven/grill/skillet meals.
Since I did these things, meal planning was easy. My meal plan has only the main dish. Depending on what I have in the house, I will determine the side dishes and veggies during the month.
