What is a Capsule Pantry?

Meal Plan only 4 times per year!

Yeah, you heard that right. The Capsule Pantry is the same step-by-step method that allows me to meal plan only 4 times per year.

IN A NUTSHELL, THE CAPSULE PANTRY IS…

…having a set number of ingredients in your kitchen

…that you mix + match

…to create your favorite meals.

You use that plan for a month. Then the next month. And the next month.

Then you switch it up (it’s probably a new season by then anyway!).

first, download this FREE Capsule Pantry™ Checklist & Planner:

it’s time to simplify…

One master list of ingredients makes your life so simple! You mix and match the ingredients to make the meals your family loves.

You have one master meal plan that has all the recipes you want to make with your mix + match ingredients. Plus you can easily switch it up!

Rotating the meals from your master meal plan thorough an entire season is the perfect blend of variety + predictability.

Is this a hack? I don’t know if it’s a hack. B Is this a hack? I don’t know if it’s a hack. But it’s definitely changed me from hating baking to *liking* baking. 

I actually find it 🎉 EASY 🎉 (if you knew how much I hated to bake you’d understand!)

Especially since I started sourdough. I can’t believe I waited so long because I thought it would be hard or time consuming! 

It has actually simplified cooking at home and you know me… I’m chasing simple!

Closing out your meal plan each week will save you Closing out your meal plan each week will save you time in the future, and it takes under a minute!

Plus it’s helpful if your week didn’t go according to plan and you didn’t end up making everything you intended!

Here’s what I do: 

✔️ Checkmark
Made it and we liked it
👉🏼 move on

❌ X it out
Didn’t make it but don’t have the ingredients anymore
👉🏼 move on

🌀 Circle it
Didn’t make it but have the ingredients 
👉🏼 put first on next week’s meal plan

⭐️ Star it
Made it and loved it, need to save recipe
👉🏼 add to your recipes

➖Cross it out
Made it and hated it
👉🏼 remove from master meal plan (and take note of why you hated it)

Save this for when - not if - your plan doesn’t go according to plan!
