I’ve always been envious of my grandmothers ability to cook. She is the type of person who can walk into her pantry, grab a hand full of ingredients and whip up something unexpected and spectacular. Not only do I lack this ability, I can look at my full pantry and not be inspired to cook a single thing. I find myself sometimes stuck in a rut, cooking the same dozen meals over and over. I think part of that is due to being busy. It’s easier to throw together a tried and true recipe than to try something new.

But I have found that if I take the time to create a weekly meal plan, we eat a better variety of foods, save a ton of wasted time wondering what to make, and it ends up saving me money too. Kraft Foods has a fun way to add new recipes to your arsenal. It looks delicious and only takes 30 minutes from pan to plate!
