When you look at the meals for the week, you will see that there are 3-4 meals in each category - Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Side Dishes as well as an extensive snack list. It is written this way so that there are enough servings in each category for 5 days worth of food. For example, between the 3 breakfast recipes in the Week 1 Meal Plan, there are 20 servings total. That is enough to feed 4 people breakfast for 5 days. I am utilizing leftovers to make this plan easy to stick to. The idea is to save money, reduce waste and spend less time in the kitchen. You can save that extra time for family and friends by prepping meals in advance and in the right portions so that you aren’t cooking every day, 3 times a day.
