so, i’ve been trying to get better at meal planning. every week i tell myself this is gonna be the week i finally nail it, but by wednesday, i’m usually staring blankly into my fridge wondering what on earth to cook. it’s like i’m good at buying the ingredients but not so great at actually using them before they become science experiments 😂 anyone else in the same boat or have any tips that actually work? would love to hear what everyone else does to keep on top of this. also, if you’ve got any easy recipes that don’t require a million ingredients, please share! 🍝🥗

I totally get where you're coming from! Meal planning can feel like a never-ending puzzle sometimes. One thing that helped me was creating a simple template for the week. I usually assign themes to each day, like "Taco Tuesday" or "Pasta Thursday," which makes it easier to decide what to cook. Also, prepping some ingredients in advance, like chopping veggies or marinating proteins, can save a ton of time and make the whole process less daunting.

As for recipes, one of my go-tos is a simple stir-fry. You just need some veggies, a protein like chicken or tofu, and a basic sauce (soy sauce, garlic, and ginger work wonders). It’s quick, uses up a bunch of ingredients, and you can switch it up based on what you have. Good luck, and remember, it’s all about progress, not perfection! 🍽️
