What is your meal planning style? Any good meal planning tips?
I am trying to get better at meal planning because I always start off strong then get bored / run out of food at the end of the week. For while I have been doing a big cook on Sunday but this week I am trying a basic menu and cook as I go. Hoping that having a plan will make it easier.
My plan (one person) is
- red lentil curry + coconut rice (3 serves made today)
- instant pot spag Bol (3 serves made Monday night)
- a beef stir-fry (X 2 serves) made wed night
- quick ramen noodles + stock and frozen veg in between
Ideally I would prep veg today but I have been away and am tired and can’t be bothered so will prep as I go.
What other things are people doing?
I tend to cook in batches of around 12 serves. Currently curried rice, taco beans, Dahl, roast veggies w/spicy peanut sauce. Once I’ve got enough Tupperware for another batch I make the next meal. My next meal is chicken and veg soup w/pasta, mostly because I’ve got things to use up.
