Do you ever draw a complete blank when it comes to thinking of meals to plan for the coming week? I do!
If you’re trying to pull menus out of your head, you’ll most likely be eating the same 4-5 meals in some kind of rotation. And that gets pretty old doesn’t it?
So, even though it sounds like a no-brainer, one thing that helps me a lot is simply pulling out a cookbook and digging through it for inspiration. It broadens my mind and reminds me of all the different foods I have wanted to try! You can also add to the inspiration you receive if you’ll do this job while you’re hungry! It’s true, it helps.
This particular book was written by my friend Jonell West Francis, founder of Feel Good Foods. (You can find this great book and more at www.myfeelgoodfoods.com)
This week I’m excited to try her versions of chicken Tikka Masala, coconut lime chicken, pot stickers, tapioca dessert (I’m going to put frozen peaches with it) and many others. Once I started looking at Jonell’s recipes today, I ended up with several weeks of meal plans and simple grocery lists!
I hope you are doing well and off to a good start this week.
Bless you for all you are doing to nourish your family.
Love,
