meal planning

Organizing weekly dishes

Meal planning is the practice of deciding in advance what meals to prepare over a period of time, typically a week.

It usually involves making grocery lists, considering nutrition and budget, and scheduling cooking around other commitments.

Sunday meal planning saves me from the daily "what's for dinner" panic.
