Why it Might Help to Meal Plan for Your Family

Even as a Registered Dietitian, I never fully understood how a meal plan might help busy families until I started to follow a running plan... and had success. Sounds strange, right?

Even if you only meal plan for one month, I think you'll see more variety as well as new pattern and habits forming around mealtime. And this is the goal 🙂

Helpful Tips

This meal plan is a framework to go from. If a meal doesn't appeal to you, make something different.
This meal plan for September takes into account seasonal produce, as we can still find corn on the cob, watermelon, and bell peppers at local farmers markets.
Consider your weeknight schedule, when planning out your meals. I like to make extras on nights I have a little more time so we can have leftovers on the busiest nights.
