Why is this the perfect number of dinners in your Why is this the perfect number of dinners in your arsenal? 

First, follow me 👉🏼 @mealplanningblueprints 

35. 35 is the not only the perfect number of dinner ideas, but also the perfect number of ingredients to have. 

The capsule pantry method uses 35 ingredients to mix and match into 35 different dinner ideas. 

You control the ingredients, you control the dinner ideas. 

❓Why 35? I’ve just found that that is the sweet spot for having enough variety but keeping it simple without being overwhelming. 

A grid of 35 dinners also matches up perfectly to a 5 week calendar 😉

That makes it easy peasy to transfer your dinner ideas to your calendar!

Everything in one place makes busy mornings so much easier! 

Here's what's in mine:

✏️ lunchbox and thermal lunch bag
✏️ water bottle
✏️ sporks (best find on Amazon ever!)
✏️ folded fun napkins (my mom always sends these and they’re a fun addition)
✏️ reusable snack bags (these are from Thirty One)

This bin goes right where it's easiest to grab
for you. For me, it's in the pantry next to the
juice boxes that are always included in lunch.

You mean I can make chicken nuggets or leftovers, and add all those random things from the rest of the week in the fridge.. and call it dinner?!? 

And the kids are actually excited about it?!? 

Yes, please! 

Share this with your mom friends and make their lives a little bit easier too!

Here’s a super simple way to plan your kiddo’s lunch every week. 

And you only need a post-it note! 

I call it the Lunch 3x3 and it’s pretty simple…
✨ 3 main dishes
✨ 3 fruits
✨ 3 vegetables 

Now you just mix and match those by picking one from each, and throw in a snack (or better yet, have your child check the post-it note and do it themselves!).
