This is it people. Today’s the day! We’re making One Pot Mexican Skillet pasta tonight (I’ll link it in my stories). What are you making?!?

Have you used Trello for meal planning? It’s my favorite way to organize my recipes and the best part is, it’s free!
How to set up a Trello Meal Planning board: 🥑 Add lists
You'll need one titled Recipes on the far left (this is where new recipes go to "be processed"), one titled Weekly Meal Plan, and the rest is set up like a traditional recipe box: Chicken, Beef, Seafood, Pizza/Pasta, etc. I also added one called Recipes to Try because I'm always on the lookout for new dinner ideas! 🌶Add recipes
You're going to add one recipe per card, with or without the image. You can manually add everything, typing and cutting/pasting or if it's on an online recipe, you can open the recipe in one window and drag the URL to a space that says "add a card". The Trello minions will automatically create a new card with the link and photo attached. They really have thought of everything! 🍋 Add labels
Labels are where Trello really starts to shine and turn into the best recipe organizer app. I organize my labels based on my Theme Nights, special dietary needs, and how they're made (slow cooker, grill, etc). You can name the labels however you want to keep your recipes organized. 🥕Add your ingredients to your Grocery List, set up which recipes you’re having on which night by adding a due date, and you’re done!
The best part is you can have all this on your phone just in case the grocery store is out of something (or when they’re out of something - that’s pretty much normal life now!). I’m talking about this on my stories today, and I co-hosted a workshop this week where I showed you how to set up a Meal Planning Trello board - https://apurposedrivenmom.com/trello-webinar-428 🍍Go watch it before it comes down tomorrow!

I know this is the unpopular opinion but...
I hate dyeing eggs. Like despise it.
(Not quite as much as I despise carving pumpkins...but close.)
💗💛 But we found a new method (after doing the shaving cream method for years) and I LOVE the way they turned out!
➡️ swipe to see the before!
🐣Marbled eggs just might be our new tradition. Maybe I’ll grow to like it. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Are there any holiday traditions you don’t like but do them for your kids?!?

Baked Ziti or Ravioli or Lasagna?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They all have the same ingredients but they seem so different, right? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What a perfect example of what my Capsule Pantry method teaches - how to mix and match ingredients to make multiple dinners. Today is the last day to get in, go to capsulepantryblueprint.com and change your way of making dinners forever (if you're seeing this after today, you can get on the waitlist there for the next time we open the doors!). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✅These are my meal plan approved favorite recipes for each: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Is there some kind of rule that says I can't turn national Cereal Day into National Give Your Kids Cereal for Dinner Day?!? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm just going to call it early breakfast since we all know we're going to end up missing breakfast tomorrow morning with the time change...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's your kids' favorite cereal? We're into the Kashi Kids Cocoa Crisp lately... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I'm sure you've heard the phrase "time = money" and there's no better way to apply this than to know what your time is worth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your time is worth more than $10/hr then you let go of things like...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️cutting coupons⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️going to multiple grocery stores to save a few bucks⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️avoiding shopping online just because there's a small fee⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's your time worth? (don't forget to add tax 😉)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It's been awhile since I've introduced myself (or maybe ever???) so I figured I'd say hello to all the new beautiful faces around here.⁣
.⁣
I had a really hard time finding a pic by myself, but that makes total sense since this guy is basically attached to me! Since I homeschool this cutie and I'm doing this parenting thing solo, we are basically ALWAYS together (except for maybe an hour or so on Sunday mornings during church)!⁣
.⁣
I am a simplicity and efficiency chaser. I need all the time I can possibly get so I'm always looking for ways to make my life easier! It's why I sign off my emails with "keepin' meal planning simple" - I believe less is more because I don't have time for complicated meal plans or even sitting down every Sunday to do it (and I know you don't either!).⁣
.⁣
You might find some unconventional ideas here.⁣
You might find some refreshing honesty or tough love.⁣
But it's all to help you create a simple, minimal, intentional life you love 💚⁣
.⁣
So, welcome! I hope you'll stick around and join me on this journey!

Would you rather meal plan five times or one time?

Would you rather meal plan five times or one time? March have has five Sundays and five Mondays (most popular meal planning days!). Next time you sit down to meal plan with a blank slate, why not try planning for the entire month?
💕
It'll save you hours.
It'll save you decision fatigue.
It'll give you a master grocery list for the entire month. 🔅
It probably won’t be perfect.
But it will be simpler. And it’s better than starting from scratch every week.
📗
And it'll allow you spend Sunday at the book store or the library, or whatever YOU want to do, because you're not doing yet another chore.
