Planner Trends 2025: Meal Planner

2025 has trended back to having a meal planner in your planner. Using a planner to manage your meal plan can streamline cooking and grocery shopping. Here’s how to set it up:

Setup and Organization

• Create a Master List: Jot down meals your family enjoys, categorized by type (e.g., pasta, salads) to simplify planning
  
  
• Weekly Themes: Designate theme nights like Taco Tuesday or Meatless Monday to make meal selection fun and easy
  
  
• Grocery Lists: After planning meals, compile a grocery list based on ingredients needed, ensuring you check your pantry first
  .

Example Meal Planning Section

• Monday: Chicken Stir-Fry
• Tuesday: Taco Night
• Wednesday: Pasta Primavera
• Thursday: Leftovers
• Friday: Pizza Night
• Saturday: Family BBQ
• Sunday: Meal prep for the week

In 2025, more women are embracing meal planning for its efficiency and ability to reduce stress around cooking, making it easier to balance busy schedules. Combining this into their planner makes it easy to pick up groceries on the fly or know what to thaw for dinner. Just as an FYI I did buy the Happy Planner Meal Planner sheets a couple of years ago and I was not impressed. If you are looking for a more tailor made meal plan, Etsy has many choices for you.
