Typically, the end of the year/beginning of the new year is a time for me to reflect on what worked well the year before and what I would like to improve on. This year we had so much busyness in life there were several habits that we developed that I would like to do away with in the new year. I didn’t have the time/take the time to cook as many wholesome meals as I really would like to have done. Which meant, we ate a lot more preprocessed or fast food than I want us to be eating. Not only is this more expensive but it’s not nearly as healthy. So I’ve really been working on getting myself organized to have more meals in the freezer to pull out on those crazy days. (I’ve also been working to cut down on some of the craziness which will help tremendously!)
A resource that I am using to help with meal planning is the Healthy Meal Planning Bundle. As an affiliate, I had the opportunity to purchase the Bundle early and I have been really enjoying this resource! This Bundle is different from any of the other meal planning bundles for a few of reasons:
- The bundle is composed of recipes rather than cookbooks and meal plans from a variety of contributors.
- All the recipes in this bundle are set to a standard 4 serving size. This makes it so much easier for you to use recipes that were submitted by different contributors.
- Speaking of contributors, I am one of the contributors! I am so excited to be a part of the Healthy Meal Planning Bundle!!
- There is a usable index so you can find the recipe you’re looking for much easier.
- There’s nutritional data for every recipe.
- There are many meal plans to choose from.
- And all of this is offered at a lower base price than previous years!
This past year, our finances were basically put on autopilot; which meant, we really didn’t make as much financial progress as we would have liked to. We have sat down and revamped our budget. I am looking forward to getting our finances whipped into shape. I’m certain this will be an ongoing process, but one I am looking forward to. I am especially looking forward to slashing our food budget as a part of our updated budget plan. Perhaps you will join me in making deliberate plans for your new year.
Blessings,
Jennifer
