Meal Planners - Saves You Time!

What's for dinner ? Too many busy parents scout around the grocery stores trying to think of nutritious meals that can be made quickly and easily. And to be honest its hard work This is a great time to get into the habit of using a meal planner. Why, you may ask? Well there are many benefits to using a meal planner. These include:

1. A menu plan saves money - Reduces unnecessary trips to the supermarket, reduces impulse spending, use up left-overs and use food from the freezer.
2. A menu plan saves time - no more wasted trips to the supermarket wasting precious time.
3. A menu plan improves nutrition - more time to prepare healthy salads and fresh vegetables - something extremely important at this time.
4. A menu plan can help eliminate fast food - saving money and choosing a healthier meal for the whole family.

Now that you are pregnant, then you probably don't want to spend your time wandering around the grocery stores thinking of what healthy meals to cook. Spend that extra time with your feet up relaxing. Menu planning is the first line of defense in the fight to an organized kitchen so go ahead and get organized for the upcoming arrival of your bundle of joy!

My favorite meal planner is by The Victoria Chart Company, called the Scrummylicious Meal Planner. I use it every week and it takes the stress of thinking each day "what shall I cook?" If you already have children, you can involve them with the weekly menu - foods that they like and enjoy and more importantly will eat!
