MATCH THE MENU TO YOUR WEEK
When Andrea knows she’ll be working late or her daughter has an activity after school, she’ll plan a dish for that night that’s extra quick and easy or knock out some meal prep on Sunday. Consider your schedule as
you make your plan
to accommodate busier days.
4 KEEP TRACK OF KEEPERS
Andrea keeps a running list of recipes she can turn to when she needs a surefire hit (something that’s easy to make and loved by both kids and grown-ups). Try keeping a list of “thumbs up” recipes so you can add them to your regular meal rotation.

GET AHEAD IN SMALL WAYS
Andrea doesn’t give up her entire weekend to prep for next week’s meals. Instead, she preps what she can depending on the time she has, like cooking a batch of brown rice or chopping a few veggies on a Sunday afternoon. Even a little advanced prep will make weeknight cooking easier.
5
STOCK MEAL STARTERS FOR BACKUP
Some weekdays are unpredictable. Stocking a few meal starters (like curry and enchilada sauces and frozen shrimp and ravioli) gives Andrea a last-minute option when she can’t follow her set meal plan. Try keeping a few pantry and freezer items on hand for unpredictable days.
