We busy moms want to make all parts of meal time stress free - preparation, sit down time and cleanup. But how many times have we looked at reducing the stress that goes into planning those meals? OrganizedFamilies.com put together a list of tips on how you can reduce the stress of meal planning. My favorite - get the kids involved so that they can participate in the cooking and have something to look forward to.
* Double recipes that freeze well.
* Plan quick meals or use leftovers for busy nights. Save roasts for Sunday dinners.
* Be flexible. If something comes up, you can switch meals.
* Scan the grocery flyers for specials.
* Prepare a dinner menu for 5 or 7 days and post the menu to refer to during the week.
*After you have made menus for several weeks, recycle menu plans.
