Meal Plan: February Week One

January 31, 2022/ Jen | Simple Modest Mom

Maybe I’m crazy, but I actually LOVE planning out our meals in advance. I even created several posts with my meal planning tips, an entire year of meal ideas, and how I use Trello for meal planning. So this year, I thought I would try to consistently post the meals that my husband and I have on the menu for the week, to continue to give inspiration to you all! We usually plan four main meals for the week, and it can vary which nights get those meals, depending on our schedule - and then other nights of the week are leftovers, takeout or super-easy no-planning-needed meals using food that we know we already have in the freezer or fridge or pantry. Hope these weekly posts bring you lots of meal inspiration and make your life a bit easier!

Using Trello for Meal Planning

September 01, 2020/ Jen | Simple Modest Mom

I know there are many methods for meal planning that include paper or whiteboard that will work great for many people… but it’s just not long-lasting for me. I need something digital. And this is where Trello is a dream meal planning organizer for me! I like to think of it as my digital recipe box… I can have lots of recipe cards (with all kinds of labels or listed in all sorts of categories), including links to the recipe source if it’s something I found online, added photos of what the meal is “supposed” to look like, and even leave notes for myself in comment form after I have made that recipe and want to remember something that I did differently or a comment that my husband or kids have made about that meal.
