Free Weekly Meal Plan

-
Preparing a weekly meal plan is my second resolution for this year. This resolution indirectly helps to stay healthy and eat a delicious home-cooked meal. It makes it easy to create a shopping list for groceries as well. There are two benefits of this one you can set your budget to control overspending and reduce the food waste. I use to give the lunch box to my husband, but from the last two years, I couldn't. Hence, this year it's time to get back to the old routine.

The most challenging question is what to cook? Once you know the answer, it will take less time to cook actually. Besides this, you also want to make sure the meal is healthy. I always prefer to make it from scratch. Producing a weekly meal plan is a great way to start a healthy lifestyle and lose some weight.


Weekly Meal Plan

 In our house, we don't make just one meal. We usually cook twice a day Lunch and Dinner. As you know, more you cook more utensils. Ultimately, it increases the work of chopping veggies, doing dishes, etc. Hence the key to successful meal planning is to balance your meal for a day. Normally I prefer breakfast which made easily so that I can prepare for lunch side by side. 

To stay on top of your routine, keep in mind to do some preparation like chopping veggies, boil lentils, etc in advance. You must be thinking why I haven't added meals for weekends. Generally, on Saturday, I use the whole week's leftover food. Usually, Sunday is my grocery day and cheat day too. I treat myself with dessert for all the hard work I put in for the whole week. Keeping the entire family healthy & fit is not an easy task.

I have already shared a few recipes earlier and will keep sharing.

Now I am experimenting with Instant pot to save my time and effort. I tried it a couple of times and it comes out good. Soon I will share instant pot recipes as well. I am also working on one-pot recipes and those will come in the next meal plan post.

Don't forget to share your meal ideas. I would love to hear what are your go-to meals, and how you prep for the week.

We all know lentils and legumes are great sources of protein and iron. One day on social media one of my friend had posted about iron deficiency. She asked others how they manage the amount of iron intake on a daily basis. Instead of taking supplements, she wanted to include iron-rich food in her daily diet. That's when I decide to share my regular Gujarati Toor Dal recipe. I am born and brought up in Gujarat one of the states in India. Traditionally in my house every day 6 things are prepared for lunch. The lunch menu is like  Roti (Indian Bread), dry vegetable sabzi , Toor Dal, Rice, Salad and Papad. The only variation you will see in the  vegetable sabzi, the rest of the dishes remains the same. Even in my house, I follow the same tradition, but I have cut off on rice and wheat so consume little less than usual. For those who are looking for an iron-rich recipe do try this Gujarati Toor Dal Recipe. Toor Dal (Split Pigeon Pea) Toor Dal is a major source of protein for
