Here's exactly where I would start

a blueprint for grab and go breakfasts and dinner under 30 minutes

I know that I am a person who needs to see an example of something that I’m learning put into practice. I want to walk you through what a month of meal planning and prepping could look like for you.

I’ve talked about this before, but you definitely need your why and what your goals or guide rails are to guide you to the right recipes for you. Think: time, budget, dietary restriction, health, etc.

Let’s take the example goal: I need fast breakfasts and dinner under 30 minutes. I don’t mind eating the same or similar things for breakfast or lunch everyday. (i.e. I’m fine without a lot of variety)

With this goal in mind, you need freezer friendly breakfasts that you can heat up quickly and for dinner sheet pan, crock pot, or “dump and go” meals will be your friend. (Also you can turn a lot of meals into dump and go if you chop your produce ahead of time!)

Now using your goals, make yourself a list of recipes that fit the criteria for meals. You’ll add to this over time. You’ll keep expanding it. Also some meals are meant for certain seasons. For example, we grill more in the summertime. The oven is simply too hot.

I have a full example walking you through the process along with printables to work through each step as well as my own personal family favorites meals list.
