I'm looking to have tasty and balanced food while maintaining a reasonable budget and being more organised.
I know how to cook. I already have tasty yet not complicated meals I'm use to make but I never needed to be organised about it before.

So I decided to start to write menu in advance, do a some meal prepping probably a bit of batch cooking.
I found resources online to start following a plan but maybe you have advices for the beginner that I am.

Thank you!

I keep an excel spreadsheet of recipes. Every sheet focuses on a single ingredient, either produce or protien. I see what's on sale each week and look for recipes that utilize those ingredients.

Good idea. I think I will start some sort of journaling of my menu to help the planning. This should be included.
