Look forward to this week’s meal plan! With pasta, beef, and my favorite, air fryer salmon, there’s a little something for everyone! If you don’t like the heat, try swapping out the Firecracker Meatballs for Swedish Meatballs!

Why should I plan my meals?
If you’ve never meal planned before, this is a game changer for you! Here’s why I swear by meal planning:
- Save time: No more 4 p.m. dinner panics. With a menu plan, you know exactly what's on the menu, what you need, and how long it'll take to cook.
- Save money: Get ready to be amazed. Meal planning is a huge help to your wallet. By organizing your shopping list for the week, you can easily find opportunities to buy in bulk and creatively reuse leftovers. It’s a clever way to keep more money in your pocket.
- Bye Bye Takeout: Planning your meals and stocking up on groceries will reduce your chances of stopping at the drive-thru. You’ll save more money and eat healthier meals by cooking at home. Win-win!

My weekly meal planner always comes with a printable shopping list that is measured and ready to use! So convenient!
Storing Leftovers for Meal Planning
I only plan my meals from Monday to Friday, because I have plans for the weekend or leftovers to finish the week! If you have leftovers, store them properly in an airtight container in the fridge.
