How to Create a Menu Plan - Tips for creating a menu plan

This week is going to be a little busier than usual, so I am planning quick and easy dinners. Scaling back my goals and cooking fast and easy meals during busy times makes it more likely that I will actually follow through with my plans.

Monday – Barbecued Chicken made in a Pressure Cooker, Baked Beans, and Green Beans with Garlic.

Tuesday – Make Spaghetti using Homemade Spaghetti Sauce (not adding meat this time). Serve with a garden salad.

Wednesday – Ginger, Sweet Potato, and Black Bean Soup and a garden salad.

Thursday – Use leftover barbecued chicken to make Barbecued Chicken Quesadillas and Nutty Broccoli Salad.

Friday – Hummus Crusted Salmon, Baked Potatoes, and Peas with Green Onions and Basil.

Saturday – Use leftover spaghetti sauce to make a Spaghetti Squash Pie. Serve with a garden salad.

Sunday – One Pot Chicken Dinner

If you need help getting started making a menu plan, you can read how I create menu plans, which includes mention of various methods I have used in the past. Another tool that is available to help is ZipList. I created a video, showing how I use ZipList to save recipes, make meal plans, and create shopping lists.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
