Hello, and welcome to a class that Brooke had just put together by Gooling it last night.

"Meal planning!" Brooke greeted them. "If you're on Pinterest, or maybe Instagram depending on what kind of social media circles you run in, you might see something about plotting out what you're eating all week. This can keep you from running to get takeout all the time, which is healthier and saves you money, and brainpower so you're not thinking 'what do I want to eat?' all the time."

Brooke did not meal plan, ever.

"What you do is, you figure out what food you have around, and you can use something like Pinterest again or a meal planning app where you can put the ingredients in there and they'll give you a recipe to try. If you work certain hours where you need to take a lunch you can do this, too, and pre-make your meals on Sunday night and then just bring the container with you when you're leaving. This is what you're going to do today. I've filled the fridge full of moddable food, so I want you to come up with a plan for what you'd eat from there for the next seven days. If you have dietary concerns, you can mess with it as needed. And if you'd like to try pre-making your lunch for the next few days, go for it. There are ingredients and there are containers, make yourself a salad and knock yourself out."
