This is meal planning for real life — no overhauls, no perfection required. Just a simple system that actually works when life is busy.
This guide walks you through a 3-step process to simplify meal planning, save money, and reduce food waste:
✅ Step 1: Inventory
Start with what you already have. Use the printable (or fillable!) worksheet to track what’s in your fridge, freezer, pantry, and what’s on sale.
✅ Step 2: Plan
Make a plan that fits your actual week (school nights, picky eaters, last-minute changes and all).
Includes capsule cooking tips to help you cook once, then mix and match across multiple meals.
Need help filling in the blanks? You’ll also get AI-powered prompt examples to help you brainstorm meal ideas using your ingredients, preferences, and time constraints.
✅ Step 3: Shop
Create smarter grocery lists so you buy only what you need — and stop tossing forgotten food at the end of the week.
Whether you’re cooking for picky kids, managing long workdays, or just want less stress at 5 p.m., this guide will help you plan smarter, waste less, and make dinner feel doable again.
