Tomorrows task: Day Three - Inspired Meal Ideas With a freshly organized freezer and pantry, the load on your shoulders is hopefully just a little bit lighter and you are feeling good about the days to come. When it comes to food at least, you now know what you have; now you just figure out how to use it! Thus, today’s assignment is to brainstorm as many meal ideas as possible. First, as fast as you can, make a list of your family’s favorite meals or your favorite recipes. Don’t worry if you have the right ingredients, just start writing things down. If your kids are old enough, they can help you with this task! Keep writing until you can’t think of any more Read through your inventory lists and try to think of one dish that corresponds to each different food item. For instance, if canned corn is on your list, you could write down “corn chowder” or “corn casserole” or “goulash.” If you are really stumped for an item, keep moving. For items such as ready-to-eat canned soup, it is okay to just jot down “soup” Print this meal idea worksheet and list your favorite meal ideas from all the brainstorming you’ve just done. Be sure to include exactly where the recipe was found! Link for todays worksheet: livingwellspendingless/wp-content/documents/31-Days-Page-07.pdf Finally, get inspired! Look through your favorite cookbooks or magazines or on Pinterest for some new ideas, or check out 20 of my favorite stockpile recipes for inspiration (links to recipes in the post). Be sure to a comment below listing at least one easy meal idea or recipe from the list you’ve just made, then be sure to check back to see the ideas that others have provided. You are welcome to post more than one–the idea is to gather as many “stockpile” meal ideas as possible.
