Hi Friends!

This week’s show is all about planning when it comes to FOOD. We share how we do it, because there are a lot of ways you can go about it, and we have a few tricks up our sleeves. Hopefully our advice & insights help you become a better planner, but remember that everyone’s schedule is a little different, so use what you want (what makes sense for you) and leave the rest! Feel free to leave a comment below and let us know if this was helpful or to clarify as we cover a lot.

WHAT’S ON THE AGENDA?
  • How we meal plan– we usually shop Mon-Wed-Fri-Sat. Farmers Market on Wednesdays & Sundays (to pick up our CSA Box).
  • Staples- what we always have on-hand, nuts, grains, condiments (hot sauce, tahini, balsamic)
  • Things we make when short on time– oats, buckwheat for lunch, salad and grain bowls for dinner.
  • Batch Cooking– We love making beans, grains, almond milk in batches. Granola is another great option for lunches, or grain-free muffins.
  • Inspiration – have a place to look when inspiration runs dry.
  • Time Management & Planning- find a time that work’s best for you.
  • Healthy Eating Commandments– A salad everyday, green juice every morning, at least 50% raw, organic whenever possible, every smoothie a green one, as little sugar as possible, always always read the ingredients & label, no meal shall have more than 2 processed items, don’t eat out more than once per day, eat according to your hunger, not the clock.
    • LINKS TO STUFF WE TALKED ABOUT

    One thing we highly suggest doing when meal planning is picking recipes that use similar ingredients. For example, if you buy things for a Mexican Recipe, and don’t use them all, then serve a Thai Recipe the next day as it may also include cilantro and limes.
