  Maybe apps are too much for you right now. You could try pen and paper just to get the thought process down. Aim to only plan for 3-4 dinners each week to leave room for the unexpected or extras. Here's a simple set up: https://www.co.dakota.mn.us/Environment/Residential/Organics/Documents/MealPlanner.pdf

REFLECTION QUESTION
Planning

What kinds of foods do you like to eat as leftovers? If you or your household members don't like eating leftovers, are there any foods you would be more willing to try than others?
Jeanni Hall 8/08/2025 12:16 PM
Lasagna is a great leftover, and you can freeze it individual and heat it up at a later date.

  My favorite is a takeoff of "impossible cheeseburger pie." Veggies, meat, liquids, all can be used (fridge cleanout). I love doing it as a bbq version!!
  
  French toast or Brown Betty when I have bread/rolls that need to be eaten.
  
  Stir fry when rice needs to be rejuvenated and then can clean out the fridge.
  
  This post made me hungry as I've not had a lot of these with the heat recently!!

Jeanni Hall 8/08/2025 12:15 PM
Yes it makes it easier knowing what I have before I go shopping.
