Editor's Notes
- Do you get this question often? How do you respond to this question? Some people have a plan, do you?
- Who doesn’t want to save time and money? A lot of people do not plan, why don’t they?
- How many of you could make a meal from what you have on hand? Here is a list of basic, healthy items to keep on your shelves at home; this will be useful in creating great meals.
- Let’s design three meals Two dinners One lunch
- How can we stretch it? If you’re using chicken, you can roast it the first night and have enchiladas the second night. You can use leftovers to create a one-pot meal, such as stew, soup or casserole.
- What happens when you go to the store and you don’t have a list?
- How many of you check the unit price stickers on the shelves before you buy? Check out the savings from a real grocery store.
