I’m a pretty good planner– holiday planning, gift planning, project planning or activity planning, the plans are impeccable, if I can say so myself. Execution – um.. so-so. But one planning which I think I execute pretty well is meal planning. I’ve found that having a weekly menu set saves me a ton of time, which can be used in doing other stuff and hence this is my Sunday evening ritual, just after we finish our grocery shipping.
I start out by making combinations for the adult lunches and then work around breakfast and dinner based on that. Adult meal planning is quite easy if you ask me. Add a vegetable curry, gravy, rice (on most days) + protein and that’s it.
Breakfast is a different cereal – If it’s rice for lunch then its millets/ wheat for the other two. Salads for adults end up in ‘the kid’s snack box, and so everything kitchen related is planned in advance.
Meal planning for kids is the tricky part. These are just some reasons :
