I wanted to start the new year by making it easy for my family to eat healthy, home-cooked meals. This meal plan can help us stay on track with our health and well-being goals. And I feel it is possible to stay on track with the help of the Instant Pot!

Importance of meal planning

Let’s put it out there….Meal planning is hard! However, it is also a lifesaver if done well. Here are some advantages:

Saves time: You are not standing in front of the refrigerator every day and thinking “what to make for dinner”. Trust me…this is a significant amount of time each day. Grocery shopping is easier: As you have a plan for the week, you know exactly what to buy. And less wastage of grocery not used. Saves money: Less eating out…as you already have a plan in mind. You can prep ahead: You can prep some parts of the dishes planned for the week or just make them ahead. The most important: The whole family is eating healthy food together!

I totally understand that life happens, and we are sometimes not able to follow the meal plan exactly. But that is completely okay! Tweak the meal plan to suit your needs – strike out the days you will not be eating at home, if you miss a day, add the recipe to start of next week. Try to be as consistent as possible, and you will enjoy the benefits of meal planning.
