Meal Planning Tips and Tricks

Written By Kim Manunui

1.       Plan your meals in advance: Decide on what you want to eat for the week and make a list of the ingredients you need. (don’t forget to shop from your pantry and fridge first so you can plan some meals around things you already have). This will save you time and money when you go grocery shopping

2.       Cook in bulk: Cook large batches of food that can last for several meals. This will save you time and effort in the long run

3.       Use a slow cooker: Slow cookers are great for meal planning because you can set it and forget it. You can cook large batch of food overnight or while you’re at work. There are some great websites around with budget friendly slow cooker meal ideas. Slow cooker central is a great place to start.

4.       Freeze your meals: If you have left overs or cooked meals you won’t eat straight away, freeze them for later. This will save you money and time in the long run! Especially on those busy nights when you need something easy and quick to feed your family. It could save you resorting to expensive takeaways.

5.       Keep it simple: Don’t overcomplicate your meals. Stick to simple recipes that are easy to make and don’t require a lot of ingredients

6.       Use a meal planning app , printable template or create your own! This is a great way to visually see what your plan is for the week and keep you on track.

There are plenty of awesome free templates online available to use for your meal planning. A small whiteboard in your kitchen or on your fridge would certainly do the trick as well!

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
