Meal Planner with Grocery List Picture
Look Inside
Total Home Makeover offers a simple system for a neat & tidy home. A great place to start is Homekeeping Calendar with our routines.
Total Home Makeover's simple system takes 1 hour daily and includes just 5 tasks per day (4 daily tasks + 1 special weekly task). ​What special task is done Mondays?  It's easy - Monday Meal Plan! Let's take a closer look.
You will need:  (1) meal planner & pencil for efficient meal planning.

Step 1: Write Down Meal Plan

Picture
My goal with meal planning is to ensure proper daily nutrion, so I plan around the food groups. Here's how to do it. 
  • Get your meal planner and a pencil. 
  • Look at your local grocery sales for a moment and make a mental note.
  • Refer to meal pattern (below) and fill in food groups. Include favorite recipes. Not every meal needs a recipe!​ 
  • This pattern follows the beauty diet if you are enrolled in Charm School.

Meal Planner - Pattern to Follow

Breakfast
Egg
1/2 Starch
Fruit (Citrus)
Beverage*​
Lunch
Lean Protein
1/2 Starch
Vegetable**
​Fruit
Beverage*
Dinner
Broth
​Lean Protein
1/2 Starch
Vegetable**
Salad**
Fruit
Beverage*
​*Coffee w/low-fat milk or Tea /lemon (children need 3 cups milk daily/adults 2) **Eat to satisfy hunger
Can you see how this is both efficient and ensures properly daily nutrition?

Step 2: Write Down Grocery List

Picture

  • Jot down ​grocery list as you meal plan or after.
  • Notice, my grocery list is organized according to food groups for easier shopping.
  • You can shop for groceries today or on errand day (see Routines).
  • Tip!  I like shopping with Instacart and pick-up myself to save money.

Step 3: Choose a Meal Plan Day

Picture
  • Choose a meal plan day. Meal planning is a task that needs done only once per week. It's easy to remember Monday Meal Plan.
  • Choose a homekeeping hour. Our simple system only takes about 1 hour per day. To be proactive, you might try 1 hour before breakfast.
  • Print homekeeping calendar - it has the meal plan icons on it to remind you all month long.
Tip! Why not start by choosing a homekeeping hour?

Get Moving!

  • Try my method of Monday Meal Plan and tell me how it went. If you have additional ideas or resources, I hope you'll share.  Blessings!
