January Menu Plan 1

Published: Dec 30, 2020 · Modified: Dec 29, 2020 by Arlene Mobley · This post contains affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Happy New Year! Here is the first menu plan of the new year.

Collage photo with pictures of three menu plan recipes.

The new year is a perfect time to start meal planning. Even if you can't do an entire week of meals you can start with just a few.

Baby steps is a good way to start a new habit and meal planning is a good habit to start. You can start out slowly by planning the meals for your busiest days of the week.

After you do this for a couple of weeks you will see how helpful using a menu plan can be.

How to start menu planning

  1. Pick out the recipes you think you will like and bookmark them for later.
  2. Use the recipes that you have ingredients on hand for or make substitutions with the ingredients you do have on hand.
  3. Print out the recipes and keep a copy with you when you go shopping so you can grab ingredients as they become available.
  4. Join the Flour On My Face Facebook page where I am sharing links for some of the easy homemade basic recipes that I have been sharing for over 10 years.
