It’s a fresh new year and we’re starting it off by reviewing the Table365 Feeding Your Family System. Making a small investment of time this month, in setting up your system, will pay off with easier meal prep, healthier food, and lower grocery bills all year long.
Table365’s Feeding Your Family System breaks down meal planning and prep into 5 easy steps. We’ll give you all the tools you need to get cooking!
1. To kick off the new year, we gave you a worksheet to set the goals for feeding your family.
2. Then, we gave you a template to start a list of your family’s favorite dishes.
3. Last week we outlined how to make a weekly meal plan for your family.
4. This week, we’re sharing check lists to organize and stock your pantry and freezer, so that you have the food you need on hand, to feed your family.
A critical element to efficiently and effectively feed your family is to have an organized and stocked pantry and freezer; and the necessary kitchen tools to prepare meals. We’ve created two lists for each category: essentials and essentials plus (+). You can make healthy and delicious meals for your family with the essentials lists. If you have the time, space, budget, and interest, you can broaden your menus by adding items from the plus list. We post the printed lists in our kitchens so that we can use them for inspiration, meal planning, and shopping lists.
Unleash the power of your pantry with these simple steps:
1. Organize the pantry – how to and the Table365 top ten pantry basics
2. Stock the pantry – use these printable lists as a guide
3. Have the necessary kitchen gear – the Table365 lists
4. Stock the freezer – freezer inventory, labeling, storing, and the Table365 essentials
