6 dinner ideas that are "better together" to save time and money

Hi reader, Have you heard the country song "Better Together" by Luke Combs? I can't help but think that he is SO RIGHT on some of his pairings… Like a cup of coffee and a sunrise? Oh my - yes!! I have a similar thought when I make my meal plans too, although I'm not serving these meals TOGETHER…Rather, I'm planning them together and cooking them in the same week. For example… anytime I put slow cooker chicken on the menu, I also put some sort of chicken soup on the menu too. Why? Because it makes my life easier. Once I cook the chicken, I will have… Shredded chicken The beginnings of chicken stock Nearly ⅔ of the recipe is already done. At this point, all I need are some vegetables, water, and spices!! I like to call these "meal plan buddies" - when one recipe gets planned, its buddy gets planned too. A few other examples:   Black Bean Corn Tacos >> Southwest Salad (Black beans, corn, and all the typical taco toppings will be ready. Just toss with lettuce and dressing!) Slow Cooker Carnitas >> BBQ Pork Sandwiches (The meat is already cooked and shredded. Just add BBQ sauce, coleslaw, and a can of green beans.) Spaghetti & Meatballs >> Minestrone Soup (Dice the meatballs, use scissors to cut the spaghetti, and add leftover sauce directly to the soup. Just add vegetables!) This meal planning technique is a bit advanced, but it's something I teach in my course Meal Planning Bootcamp and it's something I want you to think about as we get ready to start my FREE 5-day Meal Planning Made Easy challenge in just a few days!
